Well this is absolutely frightening in so much that Trump is going to force his way into Canada via military operations by claiming fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction.

Anyone remember the Bush Administration and WMDs they said were there but never were?

Elbows up Canuck’s. The time to prepare is most likely closer than we think.

It's this that "newspeak" I've been hearing about?

Someone call Hans Blix, we gotta find them WMDs in Canada. Funny if they dont find any.

Trump right now.

Can we just FFW to the end? Pretty please?

Those photos of WMDs? They were balls.

Hands down one of the best shows ever!!

It’s interesting that this 2019 article shows this idea isn’t a new one - https://edition.cnn.com/2019/04/21/politics/dhs-fentanyl-wmd/index.html

The fact that they were considering back then has me wondering if this apparently leaked draft EO might have actual substance to it, which is disturbing to say the least.

Mexican cartels and elements of the heroin trade have been known to use fentanyl as an additive to increase the potency of other illegal drugs.

He's already invoked the alien enemies act against Venezuelan cartels, effectively declaring war on Venezuela. He's setting up a shooting war in Central America.

No, he did not effectively declare war on Venezuela, which is exactly why his use of the act was immediately blocked by courts. He's trying to use a law designed for times of war without actually being in a war with the people he wants to target.

That war is how he is going to solve the economic crisis resulting from hia isolationist tariffs.

First as tragedy, then as farce

Then maybe we should stop exporting it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah we should totally ban drug smuggling!

Yes, www.thehandbasket.co seems like a reputable, reliable source. /s

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

The Handbasket is run by Marisa Kabas who is a well respected independent journalist who has broken several stories about rumoured Trump EOs that turned out to be accurate.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago
