I spent a summer in Peru when I was 12. Well summer for me here but winter down there. We had coca tea when we went into the mountains to help with any altitude sickness. Was tasty for tea. I was more impressed with the Teem soda. My father was more impressed with the Pisco Sours.

I had a buddy from Columbia in college, "Zeke."

His family owned or had access to a coffee company.

One day "Zeke" surprised the shit out of me by using a can opener to open what looked like a generic big metal can of coffee, with the usual manufacturer's label on it: inside it was packed with killer Columbian weed and not coffee.

Luck guy to have such good connections.

I was impressed.

He was also the only guy I ever got in a car with when we were tripping on acid: high as a kite but he still drove normally.

Go figure.

Please tell me that as an educated lawyer you know the country is Colombia and my Alma mater is Columbia?

Until changes the name of one of them……

Define the term "major source."

OnceDear says only 8% of cocaine goes through Venezuela and that most goes through Columbia: wouldn't that actually make Venezuela a MINOR source of cocaine?

Why not attack the true MAJOR source, Columbia?


OD mis-read what I posted. 24% of the cocaine produced in Columbia, or 639 tons is transited through Venezuela.

8% of that 639 tons (51 5ons) enters the US. Making Venezuela a major supplier of cocaine to the US and Europe.

Maduro is a legitimate target because he is an illegitimate leader. A communist dictator drug lord who makes millions transporting cocaine into the US and Europe.

Seven million Venezuelans have fled that country in the past ten years.

Mexico has been cooperating in the drug war. It may have something to do with the sight of ongoing US military reconnaissance flying over Mexican cartel territories and routes.

Fentanyl seizures at the border are down 46%.

Columbia is still considered a strong ally. In response to US complaints, they've resumed fumigating the coca crops.

So far, the US is only bombing traffickers. Not nations.

30 drug boats destroyed. Democrats are furious.

At least three drug boats out of latin America and Mexico have been blown away in the eastern Pacific over the past weeks.

Columbia University produces 639 tons of cocaine that is routed through Venezuela? Seems rather inefficient to make cocaine in NYC, send it to Venezuela, then ship it back. Maybe Donny should tariff all that blow to keep the processing domestic.

Trump is doing a fine job. Tell him to keep it up.

Nice "gotcha."

Yeah, I sort of knew of the difference, just ran with the more familiar.

Odds are ...it could happen again.

Mea culpa.

President Donald Trump said in a new interview that he takes a higher daily dose of aspirin than his doctors recommend, continuing the dosage because he has taken it for years and is "superstitious."

"They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart," Trump told the Wall Street Journal. "I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense?"

Erm.... No donny. It doesn't. Doctors balance the risk between blood clots ( blood too thick) and internal bleeding (blood too thin).
trump's self confessed superstition is guiding his very ill informed drug habit. It may lead to confusion, coma, hemorrhagic stroke and other causes of intracerebral hemorrhage.

“Genetics are very important,” he said. “And I have very good genetics.”

Well, it's true that his dad lived to age 93, dying in 1999. But it's also documented that he had dementia as early as age 85 in 1991

In October 1991, Trump was diagnosed with "mild senile dementia", with his physician citing symptoms of "obvious memory decline in recent years" and "significant memory impairment". A few months later, another physician reported that Trump "did not know his birth date [or] age", amongst other difficulties. Mary L. Trump recounted that as her grandfather's dementia progressed, he failed to recognize people he had known for decades, including her and Donald. According to Fred III, his grandfather needed to be reminded why he was at Donald's 1993 wedding (to Marla Maples) despite being designated the best man. Donald claimed that he first noticed his father exhibit symptoms of Alzheimer's in the mid-1990s.

Dementia and cognitive decline are nothing to be ashamed of in old age. But he'll be the last to recognise and admit it. For the rest of us, it should be obvious.

“If Iran shots (sic) and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue. We are locked and loaded and ready to go. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J.TRUMP,”


What business is it of his, anyway?


He'll do that to protect innocent protesting Muslims in Iran, but won't lift a finger to protect white Ukranians. Remember that time he stepped in to stop Syrian Assad dropping barrel bombs on his citizens? No. Nor me.

Just another exercise in diverting the narrative away from Epstein files and reports of his decline.
