Why crack down on black market stuff like cigarettes that seems pretty random given the corruption you describe.


And the black market is absolutely gigantic here. Everything from bootleg DVDs to fricking leopards, you can pretty much buy anything. The government really does this kind of stuff just to take the heat off of them and say: "Hey, hey, we're doing something."

Nice to know feminists are angry everywhere lol.


I think to some degree they have a right to be pretty upset about Mexican society. Mexico is like 60 years behind America regarding how women are treated, and there is a very high number of femicides.

I'm not some flag-waving feminist by a long shot, but there are sayings here that people still use that would get you punched in America.

"Women are prettier when they're quiet" is pretty common.

Kinda puts it in a new perspective. Like the US isn’t as bad as the media makes it out to be.

Don't even get me started on race south of the border.

Sexism is bad, but racism is really common, especially against whites and blacks, any foreigner.

Add the collapse of Afghanistan to the list of Biden achievements. But of course anything that has gone wrong was Trump's fault. This is straight out of the Obama playbook.
At this point not even the MSM can defend him. This administration is a total failure on all fronts.

Covid
Border
Foreign affairs
Inflation
Economy

Biden admin blew the pull out you can say that again.

You really not gonna give any responsibility to the other 3 admins that were a part of this?

The shitty Trump deal with taliban?
Obama’s silly surge
Bushs nation building

Biden admin is the one that ended up catching the hot potato but it took a long list of frick ups to get us here. Don’t be over the top partisan cmon.

i don't blame Bush that much. we all wanted blood after 9/11 regardless if you're left/right/up/down. but then he got he carried away.

Obama, was, well, Obama.

Trump. I don't remember the the deal with the taliban, but i also don't remember any kind of crisis like what's goin on now.

Biden. did he really pull out to have a 20 year 9/11 "we won" celebration?

The Biden admin completely owns the withdrawal plan that is a complete cluster. Uncle Joe can't blame anyone else for that. The country fell within weeks under a weak US President. Any of the other 3 administrations would have handled this better. Biden is unfit to be Commander and Chief. Not a partisan statement, just a fact.

Of course you don’t remember trump making a ceasefire deal that included releasing prisoners, drawing down troops, but allowing the taliban to keep killing Afghans. Of course you don’t lol.

Regardless - still a frick up by Biden admin - should not have followed through with the trump deal.

Even your boy, senile Joe said, "The buck stops here!" while of course blaming everyone else for the problem. He owns this f-up.

Quick poll. Biggest Biden disaster so far, and it is early. More options to be added.

1) The Southern border
2) Handing of Covid
3) Gas prices and energy policy
4) Inflation
5) Foreign affairs, Afghanistan

All 5 have been clusters but IMO long term the border crisis will have most negative effect on this country. Anyone care to defend this Presidents handling of these problems, without blaming Trump. ??

Only thing I’ll say is the covid situation has been made worse during Biden’s tenure by conservatives policies in conservative controlled states for the most part.

Are gas prices a crisis yet? I hadn’t though so.

Inflation is debatable and hard to discuss without bringing up past admin. It’s way more complex than muhhh Biden bad…. Durrr… Senile joe…

Afghanistan easily the worst. Border issue has been bad for every president for a while so I guess Obama and Trump can welcome him to the club.

bullshite but I will play along, conservatives believe in this idea called freedom of choice, something Dems only agree to regarding abortions.

I am paying 30% more for gas since Biden's attack on oil and gas so I call it a crisis
