Trump administration labels 8 Latin American cartels as 'foreign terrorist organizations'

Buy an avocado, go to jail. Kroger is now supporting terrorism.
- That's not how that works. Kroger is reasonably responsible now for ensuring that their suppliers aren't run by cartels. If they don't do due diligence, they can get into legal trouble now.
  Quite literally the only thing Trump has ever done that I'm okay with.
  
  They aren't terrorists though. They are gangsters. Couldn't care less about our political system, just want to make money.
  
  That’s great! Kroger does exploit the benefits of the cartel. Reminds me of the ‘gulf of America.’ No, it’s not an egomaniac move. Changing the water nationality changes the tax rate on oil aka gas prices. Trump has historically maintained favor with gas prices.
- Stuff ppl say when they are privileged, entitled, and ppl who benefit from a world that more brave and intelligent people made.
And there's the pretext to invade Mexico, or maybe just nuke it.
- With what people? He fired the workers that oversee our nuclear arms and realized he goofed. Now they can't find all the employees to bring them back.
  
  Well don't get me wrong, I'm not hoping for that outcome. But I did predict it months ago - nuke Mexico to stop the cartels and migrants and then invade Canada. All built around bullshit, lies, and demonizing truly desperate people.
  
  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!
- It’s the Gaza strategy.
USA gonna invade the banks laundering their money? Gonna bomb the weapons manufacturers arming them? yeah right...
Okay, so Mexico should brace for an invasion soon, gottit
- 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...
Do they have a roster of their international members? How could you prove that they're a gang member?
It's just racial profiling.
Does this make coke heads terrorist financiers?
- That would make sense.
