I agree with her. They certainly aren't manufacturing the weapons themselves and they certainly aren't coming from other countries especially since most countries have banned guns so America is clearly supplying the cartels. The same cartels Americans complain are pushing drugs into our country.
Yes. US gun mfr r basically a rogue state arming terrorists. They should b treated as such- executives blacklisted, assets seized, arrest warrants issued globally. Trump wants to fight cartels but won’t stop the US gun industry from arming them. Want fewer drugs? Cut off their weapons supply.
It’s so great to wake up and first thing see something so funny that makes you laugh, especially in these crazy times. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Technical question: wouldn't it be "President Sheinbaum"? I thought the protocol was to use the surname not the name, or not the name alone. Am I wrong? English is not my forst language so maybe I'm not aware of the rules.
If the US plans to put her citizens in a mass grave in Cuba then she should absolutely take the harshest steps towards any Americans that break the law in Mexico.
I was going to say maybe that person is just plain stupid but no, you are right, that person could have and should have taken the three seconds it would have taken to get the president's name right.
Never in all my years did I consider moving to Mexico until this current regime took control. I never thought I'd be admiring their government over ours. But here I am. President Sheinbaum is awesome, and she's in no mood to curry to trump.
My husband and I retired to México in 2017, when Fat Hitler was first elected. Best. Decision. Ever. Much better quality of life, affordable and the food isn't poison. Bonus, we get Sheinbaum!
Do it do it do it! Hit them in the national courts. Hit them in the international courts. Expose them for their corruption! Please, don't wait another day, do it right now!
I know it won't happen with Republicans in charge, but victims being allowed to sue the gun manufacturers and gun retailers for massive amounts of money would probably end the arms business. That should have happened long before now. Like when Democrats had all 3 branches.
😀How can that be true, Claudia? The US never does anything wrong, they never supported dictators, they never invaded other countries, they never took half of Mexico's territory. Don't you see that Trump is a Christian and that he never harms anyone because he is compassionate and loving?
You know she had to learn how to stand up to men like Trump to get where she is today. He doesn't intimidate her. Mexican citizens chose the right woman at the right time.
Just also remember that she is a populist, much like Trump, and her government is corrupt as well.
But yes, she is giving a master class in how to deal with Trump.
Why would they attend Trump rallies if they don’t vote for him and are demanding the Democrats in power quit their bloodthirsty crusade against brown children? What a pathetic attempt at a gotcha - but then again, what else can you expect from shitlib drones allergic to moral consistency?
Why would they protest at Trumps rallies when it was Biden, whom Kamala was a member of his admin, was the one actively doing the thing? That doesn’t even make sense.
I’m just going to throw up now. America has been broken for too long. We need a major change to our entire system. For too long has our government been catering to the corporate billionaires who now run our country. Citizens United is an attack against democracy.
Resist
Thanks, I don't actually know that but my idea of how a person who is high on drugs looks is very close to this. And I guess the drug price is quite high when it finally reaches a person like him.
Oh man! I read it wrong 😂 I had interpreted it as him being a deal maker and distributer, not as a consumer that can keep a small country afloat! I’m with you!! 😂😂😂
Similar to why I am happy Canada is finally taking border security more seriously... Most of the illegal drugs and weapons crossing the border aren't going to the States, they're coming into Canada FROM the United States not the other way around.
They have a show on Netflix showing how the drugs are moved over the border. I can’t remember the name of it. I was surprised at how easy it was. But everyone else is the threat? Nope, we are.
I do like the added security at border regardless if the felon wanted it or not
My concern is with all the ICE raids that the "economic pressure" might very well be caravans of people trying to get into Canada.
Problem always has been fix the place they want to leave j/s IMO Caravans were organized
Yes, I do know that.....what was the point?
ICE will go to all states or cherry pick for his friends
Food banks probably be paid for by the blue states if that is the direction you are going?
Those cartels are only there because of the USA’s insatiable thirst for cocaine. This is a problem that was created by the USA, causing immense suffering in most of Latin Smerica.
Trump is being exposed as the con man he is over and over now by career policy makers and public servants around the globe who understand how the world works way better than he does and will continue to make him—and us by extension—look like fools.
I hope they keep exposing his Nazi bullying and stand up to him…expose his weakness, and every bully has one, or more. The felon has weaknesses in spades.
Most bullies weakness is the fact that they never expect anyone to stand up to them, it may make them fight even harder even when someone does so, but it just shows how insecure they are in themselves in the end and the more that stand up to them, the weaker they become
With Trump, when someone forcefully stands up to his bullying, he collapses. If it's just rhetoric, he doubles down with infantile lies and taunts. But if it's real opposition, like lawsuits, he hides behind delays and legal loophole fuckery in hopes the other side gives up. Sheinbaum won't.
Right, how stupid the United States actually created the cartels but most Americans don’t know that every terrorist group that’s ever existed the United States built them.
Please don't just share on this forum. Tell your reps in DC what you think. Resist. It only takes a few minutes and best of all..it doesn’t cost any money.
We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate.
The cartels have been outsmarting US intelligence for 50 years. They are sophisticated operators. Sheinbaum is way smarter that the orange imbecile and his feckless Nazi henchmen. This should be fun. 🇲🇽
90% of handguns recovered after violent crimes in Ontario - Canada's most populous province - were traced back to the US. "Through our tracing and analysis, we know the top states (these guns come from) are Ohio, Texas, Florida and Georgia, in that order,"
Go Claudia. Let's hear the NRA and the gun lobby try to square this away. Personally, I think gun runners and their suppliers should meet their demise at the business end of their own product. However, that's just me. I'm an arsehole.
Yes. Research "Fast and Furious"... Obama et al literally supplied them with weapons. And some even came back into our country and killed Americans. They should be prosecuted. It's not the gun manufacturers folks. It's the mental illness and/or corruption.
Now THAT is prime example of a strong leader! While I'm not confident anything will ever allow these murder profiteers to be held accountable, it's good to see a world leader call them out for what they are.
How do the "pro-life" evangelicals rationalize their country being by far the world's biggest arms dealers? I don't even care about the rationalization they might concoct. Sheinbaum is totally correct. More leaders need to stand up to Trump.
She's also said that if they felon-in-chief is so concerned about drug traffic, maybe he should consider doing something about the demand for those drugs in the first place!
Is this woman a boss, or what!?? 💥💪
She should watch out though. The felon rapist doesn't like sassy women.
That is what the recaps cannot grasp. Drugs are a business and subject to the rules of supply and demand. If there's demand there will always be supply. That demand is in the US, not Mexico.
'Muricans want to pin their failure on the brown people to the south. They need to clean their shit up HERE.
Sorry but that is not a good idea. Drugs aren’t a business and cartels are murdering monsters that should be destroyed. But I agree with what the Mexican president says in regards to who sends them weapons.
I’m fine with pot or non lethal drugs, Fentanyl or meth should be illegal however. I’m fine with ending the war on drugs. But I’m not fine with filth like cartels.
BTW - Fentanyl is a prescription drug, a rapid-acting opioid (synthetic opiate) drugs that alleviate pain without causing loss of consciousness (analgesic) developed in 1959 and still used today in surgery. It's not evil nor was it invented by evil people.
I will never reconsider that idiotic idea. Do you want cartels walking the streets? They’re as much of the scum of the earth as Nazis are the worst of Trump followers.
The issue at hand is that you don't consider drug trafficking a business. Do you think the cartels do it for mere pleasure?
The demand provides billions of dollars for their supply. Supply and demand are the very basics of ANY business. Hence, drug trafficking is a business! Plain and simple.
Drugs have always been a business so spare me with that "moral crusade" crap. That's what put the US where it is now. Had the "war on drugs" been prosecuted like a business there would be no "war". The violence in Mexico exists for the same reason the drug violence in the US exists - money.
Everyone should want to end the cartels. There’s nothing human about turning a blind eye to the filth. And I despise Trump so this has nothing to do with him. Cartels, Nazis, Trump and Musk are all a danger to society.
Of course, everyone wants to end the cartels. Nobody is rooting for them. Remembering the topic of the thread, though, is that the concern is that Trump will use labeling the cartels as terrorists as an excuse to invade México. I believe that is the issue at hand here.
That's fine, but the way to do it is as I suggested. The cartels exist because of money. Dry up the demand for drugs which dries up the money and the cartels no longer exist.
That can ONLY be done in the US, not in Mexico.
Attacking the snake's tail never works.
Don’t call it a “moral crusade” when I’m talking about mass murdering scum. I’m against the war on drugs but I also oppose people that want drugs to be a business because that also creates cartels. Do want that kind of scum walking the streets?
The "scum" walk the streets because of money. The money comes from the sale of drugs. No money, no business. It's that simple. Folks like you want to make this into "good" and "evil" when it's simpler and more correct to call it "commerce". This is what humanity has always been. MONEY. CASH. $$$.
You're not wrong! It's a big profit so that they can continue to spread hate and warmongering. The way they see it, their end, justifies their means. 😤
I'm confused. What do you mean "or what?"
I read the linked article. It's a horrific tragedy. But what does that have to do with her standing up for her country and not willing to be bullied by wannabe dictator?
She's a politician. Therefore, no, I don't believe that she's a saint or that everything is fine with her. But anyone that pushes back on Trump's bullying bullshit gets a star in my book. That's all.
What? More war on drugs and further criminalization of drug use? That shit don’t work, and is used to further racism and the prison system. This is a gross double standard that actually gives China a defense for pushing Fentanyl.
What are you talking about? I've not insinuated in any way, favoritism for War on Drugs. Of course, it's a failed system for racism and the marginalization of groups of individuals. The topic of discussion is Mexico not being willing to be bullied by Trump. Period.
She is not insinuating. She was very clear when she made her statement. She clearly said something to the effect of if President Trump wants to do something about drug trafficking, he should first consider doing something about the demand for the drugs in his country that the cartels provide.
At this point she should declare the US a terrorist nation. We’ve been using terrorist threats and intimidation for 80 years. We’ve had Oligarchs here influencing our government officials for over a century. They don’t want to solve addiction issues nor help anyone that will cost them money.
The mayor is not responsible for the maintenance or correct construction of each and every bridge, subway wagon or house in the city.
But the way she tried to cover it up, was shameful.
Except Canada doesn't have the same rates of gun violence as the US and Mexico. I bet most of the guns Canada imports from the US are used by police/RCMP.
I'm glad she's finally addressing this. It's not unlike our school shootings, and now offering "aid" around the world and then extracting payment under duress.
To me, that makes us more vulgar than not helping at all. Especially if we're now in cahoots with Russian antagonists.
I think Canada should join Mexico in this! We don’t have a lot of guns here (other than gang activity) thanks to very strict gun laws, but I’m pretty sure the ones here come from you all down south
More power to President Sheinbaum. It’s just more right wing hypocrisy to rage about the cartels and ignore the ways that the USA feeds them, both with our appetite for drugs and our failure to regulate dangerous weapons.

Samantha, so let's think about this carefully, if knives are being used in a killing should knife manufacturers be sued, or what about vehicular homicide should car manufacturers be sued as well?
There is such a thing as personal accountability in crime ... you do the crime you pay time in jail.
They don’t sell them to terrorists They sell them to retail fun shops who then sell them either according to gun laws or not. We aren’t going to shut down Oneida because they sell knives in their silverware sets. We are going to prosecute the guy who uses the knife to slit his wife’s throat.
She is right. The access to guns is ridiculously easy compared to most countries which makes it easier for them to be smuggled out of a country with these laws.
The biggest terrorist croup is the USA. The magas. The nationalists. The USA has a huge addiction problem. Address that and it takes care of drugs coming over. Supply and demand.
I remember feeling conflicted when she won, elated to see a strong female leader in MX, a little worried because she was still very conservative, weirdly uncomfortable because MX had a female president in The Handmaids Tale, but damn she’s a badass and I’m here for it!
with limited Spanish even I know what muertos and la gran farsante mean, so not looking forward to what I’ll find down this rabbit hole! thanks for sharing
