We have cartels and corruption because we fight drugs. Stop fighting you cant stop drugs and you cant win.

Dc has been, is, n will continue to be a disaster because we have two broken political parties with no respect for the true meaning of the constitution n its proper limits on government power.

Prohibition is an equal opportunity corruptor. It’s one of the main reasons the US ended alcohol prohibition — police were on the take. Why do US politicians think Mexican police & soldiers (who earn even less money than US counterparts) should be more resistant to corruption?🤔
