conix, My misunderstanding a post of yours wouldn't be the first time. Always with good reason of course. That said you fudging on what you first meant is not unusual either. I'm not sure if i have ever seen you admit you were wrong. On the Hogan one .. [...] i still feel you didn't 'get it' in your reply. That you didn't get that Hogan was being sarcastic about what Ernst had said. Putting that aside, i can't see at all where either Hogan or Ernst said what you claim they said. This stuff .. "But it is a ridiculous assumption to say that the Biden Administration has seized MOST of the fentanyl coming in." Neither said that. And i think most who know the situation would concede that more drugs get in over any border in the world than are stopped. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=169952986
Yeah she used "open border" in that one. Would be good to have a dollar for every time conix has abused debate by her usage of the "open border" bullshit. It would be good for a few jugs of good Guinness.
April - [...] The Mexican government estimates that more than half a million guns are smuggled from the U.S. each year, arming Mexico's deadly cartel wars. [...] Meanwhile, the Mexican government blames prominent U.S. gun manufacturers for the influx of cartel weapons in its lawsuit against them in federal court in Boston. "Almost all guns recovered at crime scenes in Mexico — 70% to 90% of them — were trafficked from the U.S.," the Mexican government claims in its complaint. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=168582432

B402, Obnoxious, ignorant prick that you are i and others have done many posts on Fentanyl over years. I inserted one, before reading that fact-free comment of yours, in the post linked below. And read some GOP reaction to Biden's expression of opioid concern in his State of Union address. Excerpt:
President Joe Biden made addressing the opioid crisis a central theme in his State of the Union address earlier this month, expanding on it as part of his “Unity Agenda” — a group of issues which enjoy bipartisan support — which he laid out in last year’s annual message to the nation.
Biden referenced one of the guests at the address — a father named Doug from New Hampshire, who wrote the president and First Lady Jill Biden a letter about his daughter Courtney, who died of a fentanyl overdose..
"Describing the last eight years without her, Doug said, 'There is no worse pain,'" Biden continued. "Yet their family has turned pain into purpose, working to end stigma and change laws." "He told us he wants to 'start the journey towards America’s recovery.’"
“Doug, we’re with you," the president said. "Fentanyl is killing more than 70,000 Americans a year.”
Biden was then interrupted by Republican hecklers, who called out “it’s the border.”
One GOP heckler, Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles, shouted: ”It's your fault."
