Maybe if they had the foresight and discipline to capture and arrest the survivors of the initial strike those survivors could have been questioned or interrogated as to the location of the larger ship they were meant to rendezvous with. Which almost certainly would have had more “drugs” on board (I personally hate calling these things “drug boats” because we literally have no evidence of any sort of what these boats were actually doing at the time, and I have zero intent to ever accept anything this group of criminals says publicly without corroborating evidence) instead of committing murder on the high seas like drunken pirates trying to overcompensate for other inadequacies. It’s almost like they don’t actually care about interdicting drug trafficking operations and are just more interested in killing brown people and trying to instigate a war with Venezuela. Hmm… 😔 ---

That’s something I’ve thought all along. If we know that these boats are transporting drugs, let’s follow them and see where they’re heading. As long as there’s a market, getting rid of the mules does nothing to stop the transport of the contraband. ---

> [@Horatius](#): > > If he signs a law to bring back the Nissan Cube, I’ll commit voter fraud to vote for him. It was a small car, but I, quite a large fellow, could fit in it. I drove a 2006 Toyota Scion xB (a/k/a toaster on wheels), which was amazingly roomy inside, even in the back seats, got very good gas mileage, and as for reliable? I’d still be driving it if the bottom hadn’t rusted beyond recovery thanks to New England winter road salt and coastal air. Junked it a couple of months ago and bought a 2012 Honda Fit, also a small car with great gas mileage, peppy acceleration, nimble handling, and discontinuance in the USA after the 2020 model year. It’s not quite as roomy as the Scion was but plenty comfortable for a 5’6" woman. ---

You know how Trump suddenly has a bruise on the back of his right hand at around the same time every month and just had an MRI for no explicable reason? Guess what the FDA recently approved a medication for which is administered in a monthly IV and requires periodic MRIs to check for side effects. > **[Kisunla: Uses, Side Effects, Dosage, Warnings - Drugs.com](https://www.drugs.com/kisunla.html)** > > Kisunla (donanemab) is a prescription medicine used for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild dementia.

Remember when conservatives/Republicans opposed smaller cars because they were death traps and were, yet another, attempt by liberal tree huggers to destroy America? Don’t worry, it’s not the effects of age, no one else does either. ---

Interesting, @Smapti,and best explanation I’ve heard yet. It doesn’t appear to be working for him, but it’s early days. Maybe it has side effects that make one sleepy and flatulent. I think that agrees with your theory. ---
