Show me where is states that " the U.S. military was involved on the ground (not just providing intel.)" or is this just another example of gandler's misinformation and disinformation bullcrap.


It doesn’t. But notice Gandler posting an article FROM OVER A MONTH AGO! to defend his outright lie. Gandler has proven REPEATEDLY he will just make stuff up if it is anti -Trump.

This one is easily summarized. ‘US intelligence aids Mexico in its war against terrorist drug cartels’.

I’ve been to Mexico 3 times. Won’t ever again.


So we have a President that has been pushing for U.S. troops in Mexico for a year a year now, and has been really ramping up the rhetoric the last month, and troops have even been staged over the last 1-3months. And, out of nowhere, a huge military strike on a Cartel leader. And, you think there is zero possibility of U.S. troops being present?

Mexico is a place I really want to go again soon. Especially Chichén Itzá (my goal is to eventually see all of the wonders.)


No, I don’t think there is a zero chance we would help Mexico with boots on the ground. But I wouldn’t post it as a fact just kinda hoping it was true like you did.

I’ve been to Chichen Itza with my kids. 25 years ago ish? We were allowed to climb to the top back then. Extremely narrow steps. Definitely dangerous. They literally had an ambulance stationed at the bottom. I’m glad I did it. Wouldn’t do it again! (It’s been illegal since 2008)


The preponderance of evidence indicates it's true. And, if it's not true, the President wishes that is were, so based strictly on intent, it really doesn't actually matter.



I really want to go one day even if you can't climb it. Mexico has a lot of cool places I want to get to, I have been very limited places in Mexico (basically near the U.S. the border.)


Once again, you writing ‘the preponderance of evidence indicates it’s true’ actually translates to ‘there is NO evidence that indicates it’s true’. So your were close…. Mexico is saying it was done solely by Mexican boots on the ground. The USA has said the same thing. (But Gandler says the opposite!)

Anyway, look into Tulum. Sort of a ‘poor man’s Chichin Itza’. Also a famous butterfly trek. If you are a snorkler /SCUBA guy there’s Cozumel.


I know what Mexico and U.S. said. I respectfully don't agree. And, I think more info will come out in the coming years. I mean we are still getting new info on raids from 2011, for obvious reasons they usually lie for at least many years right after. That being said, I don't want to fight with you over this, I stand by my assessment of the evidence and operations, if you don't agree that is fair, this is actually a view I hold which I can't defend.

I wouldn't mind Tulum, but wife has been there many times when younger, so she really doesn't want to see it again. I want to broadly go to the Yucatan, that part of Mexico, Belize, and some of Guatamala seems like a fun trip.


You can have a ‘theory’ that will be proven true in the future for which there is no evidence now. Sound’s eerily similar to those who say Biden’s win was a stolen election…!

Tulum is in the Yucatán.

Seems like you would be interested in a Peru trip. Machu Pichu, and the Nazca Lines are once in a lifetime experiences. If you are interested in hiking, there is the Inca trail.


And you woulod be one of those "Biden stole the election" people, Scott.


Not at all. I’m sure there is more election fraud than we will ever find out about. As I’ve stated ad nauseum, people committing fraud/crimes/murder do their best not to be caught. But no way do I think there was enough fraud to change the electoral results of a single state.

Anyway, back to AOC. She is being skewered for not knowing Venezuela is in the northern hemisphere. I’d bet at least 2/3 of Americans would make that same mistake. It’s not as big a mistake as thinking Denmark hands out the Nobel Prize…..


There you go again. n one sentence you state there isn't enough voter fraud. But htne in the next sentence you imply there could be, because there is more voter fraud than we know of. I call BS on your whisper campaign.

Either produce evidence of significant voter fraud or shut the fuck up about it.


First of all, I don’t STFU about ANYTHING because you want me to. Define significant for me?

In my world, I put safeguards in place to PREVENT such fraud. As long as they are reasonable. And to me, nothing is more reasonable than requiring ID to vote.


There already are such safeguards in place to prevent such fraud, since it does not occur, by your and the rest of your white MAGA friends own admission.

How many eligible voters turned away at the polls is reasoinable, in comparison to the double digit number of illegals voting each election? You tell me.

Or you can realize the voter fraud is not a serious elctoral concern, and shut the fuck up about it.

Voter fraud IS a serious electoral concern. To me and around 1/2 the country. You are probably the idiot who doesn’t have a fire extinguisher because you’ve never had a fire in your house. Repeat time. Just because I do not believe there was a ‘stolen election’ in 2020 does not mean that I don’t think that secure elections are a worthy goal. And that STARTS with ID being required to vote.

Except for the dozens of court cases that thoroughly investigated and determined there was no wrongdoing (well there was wrongdoing on Trump's part for attempting to steal votes.)

I did Peru last year, the Salkantay Trek (Inca trail didn't have any more permits left since you need a guide for that trail and it's more popular it's hard to get a slot if you wait too late, Salkantay is a bit longer and more intense so it is less popular, and you can do it on your own with no guide -we had a guide-) which ends at Machu Pichu like the Inca Trail, very fun. I didn't get to Nazca though. But, everything in Peru was amazing, very much agree that this is an epic country.

Well, you're the doctor who routinely refused to follow hospital and regulatory required safety rules, so no lectures from you, amigo.

You aren't getting it. So, here, I'll type s-l-o-w-e-r. We already have secure elections and voter ID at the polls will do almost nothing to make them any more secure and will come at the expense of preventing lawful voters without IDs that meet the requirements from voting.

[Cuba incident]
I might have sympathy for the what these guys were trying to do ... bring out family, say. But something tells me they were asking for it

Possibly Cuba got some intel on the operation and just murdered them. Things are going to hell sure enough in that country now, they've got to be edgy

from a comma-loving Googlebot,

Key details regarding the current situation in Cuba:

Energy Crisis: The electrical grid is in a state of collapse, with daily, long-term power outages becoming the norm. Fuel shortages have crippled transportation and public services.
Essential Shortages: There are severe, chronic shortages of basic supplies, including food, bottled water, and medicine. Pharmacies are largely empty
.
Economic Collapse: The nation has experienced years of negative economic growth, with high inflation and a breakdown in, public services.
Social Impact: Garbage is piling up in streets due to lack of, fuel for, collection trucks. The, situation is, considered, unsustainable and, has, led, to, a, mass, exodus, of, over, one, million, Cubans, since, 2021.
Two-Tier System: A stark, divide, exists, where, tourist, areas, and, hotels, receive, resources, while, the, general, population, suffers, from, extreme, scarcity.
Rising Crime: Due to, the,, dire, conditions,, reports, of, theft, and, muggings, have, significantly, increased.

The, situation, is, described, by, experts, as, a,, "monumental, disaster".

Two things fit the pattern:


Hussein sending pallets of our cash to Iran and Clinton selling a large chunk of our Uranium while under Hussein.

It wouldn't surprise me if a bunch of inside traitors and European traitors go down.


That could explain the attack.


Trump won't broadcast what he knows.

And nuke clearance is a little different than other clearances.


I'd guess there's at least one high up traitor inside the Trump admin plotting another attempt at assassination.

And the only thing that can offset that is praying, like a fork in the road.
