Ahh yes.
Because designating as what they are..will make it worse?
Cartels sell people (slavery)
Cartels bring the majority of drugs into this country.
Cartels obviously are deadly and violent.
Legacy media..."It's dangerous of Trump to do this"
More proof that we don't hate legacy media enough

The Washington Post, like the NYT, was once a valuable asset in information. Sadly, this organization's owner, Jeff Bezos, bent the knee to Trump in a blatant display of cowardice that has added shame to Bezos's and the newspaper's legacy.

Terrorist groups are denied access to the US financial system. But they have full access, largely untraceable, to cryptocurrency for financial transfers, including not only Bitcoin and Dogecoin, but also $TRUMP and $MELANIA. I doubt Trump will have any interest in stopping that.

reply

mischief3.bsky.social•41 days ago

If they're smart the cartels will dump a few $100 million into $FELON and those terrorist designations will disappear.
