  • If anyone has the capital (both political and monetary) and the ability to execute, Narcos certainly do. Assuming they aren’t obsessed with greed, if they made some sort of public announcement saying that they are patriots and would not only boycott US markets but would engage with other producers to stop their own shipments, I would love to see the fall out. I suspect it wouldn’t be visible. After all, I suspect that most cocaine drug users in the US aren’t the most reliable voting contingent.

    But it would be fun to see how Trump reacts to it.








  • “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

    Conservatives only care about small government when they are the ones being oppressed by the federal government. Like when Congress passed laws banning slavery.

    But they care about federal laws being forced onto states when they are the ones doing the oppressing. Like when they passed the Fugitive Slave Act.

    They don’t care about their hypocrisy and, if anything, makes them want to do it more.
