Trump administration labels 8 Latin American cartels as 'foreign terrorist organizations' - ABC News
-
He fired people taking care of the nukes, not the people who would detonate them, which could be any idiot with a willingness to pull the trigger on command. Not that he'd use nukes on Mexico, a good ol' freedom campaign with a couple thousand troops and drones should do the trick for everything south of the border. We're cheerfully awaiting our invasion and demise! Greetings from Honduras, malditos gringos hijos de puta!
-
They aren't terrorists though. They are gangsters. Couldn't care less about our political system, just want to make money.

If you hate a random username online, you are experiencing mental health symptoms and may have a warped sense of reality. I don’t think people who refuse to manage their mental health deserve my attention to read their response. You can do better and learn how to communicate better if you want.
-
Does this make coke heads terrorist financiers?
-
Do they have a roster of their international members? How could you prove that they're a gang member?
It's just racial profiling.
-
I agree, it's monetary not political. Otherwise we'd have to label chiquita as a terrorist organization as well right?
-
It’s the Gaza strategy.
-
Do the gene pool and the rest of the world a favor and fucking die.

While your frustration is shared, and understandable, let’s not start throwing death around like it’s some little thing
-
They're terrorists...
They murder, cheat, steal, traffick, kidnap, extort, and do whatever else they have to do to "just make money."
-
Which is not the goal of terrorists. Terrorists are attempting to cause political change through their actions.
Or do you think that anything that involves murder, cheating, stealing, trafficking, kidnapping, and extortion is terrorism?
-
That would make sense.
-
Hopefully the cartels use their usual methods of retaliation.
-
The FBI defines terrorism as the unlawful use of force and violence against people or property to intimidate or coerce a government or civilian population.
Simply using force and violence against people to intimidate with no other purpose or objective is the legal definition of terrorism...
-
Your mom must be proud of you
-
Kidnapping innocent people and holding towns hostage?
They are true scum of the earth for sure, they need to be dealt with. But we all know that this is a pretext for something more nefarious Trump wants to do...
-
Nah, words still have accepted definitions. We're not that far into the post-truth world yet.
-
Okay, so Mexico should brace for an invasion soon, gottit
-
USA gonna invade the banks laundering their money? Gonna bomb the weapons manufacturers arming them? yeah right...
-
It’s not. I meant it and there’s no use pretending.
I’ve lived through enough racist bullshit and had some close encounters with neonazis going further back than the first trump presidency. He certainly emboldened them and both the frequency and severity of bullshit increased during his first term. Most of my life has been marked with more privileged people asking me to pipe down because they simply couldn’t connect with, fathom, or were unwilling to consider how much worse the experience in pockets of this country can be for some of us. There are always many different reasons to defend the status quo, including the fear of breaking an illusion of a much more civilized America. Those at the bottom always take the brunt of the consequences of maintaining this illusion.
Seems that people are barely recognizing the patterns that have been established for many, many years, only because they are now undeniable. Because they have come to a head.
I don’t care about being held to some higher standard in order to appease overly idealistic sensibilities, when the overton window has pushed us back this far to the brink of civil war through double standards. Neonazis are making demonstrations in minority communities, and we have a set of politicians using nazi playbooks to turn this country fascist in record time, following steps openly outlined by them years prior.
Sorry, but the intolerance paradox is real. And I won’t live my life a useless saint.
Fuck these morons.
