regarding the link to the article about Nitrous Oxide in the Atlantic: I appreciate you highlighting this issue, but I'd like to point out that the linked article barely touches on the toll this drug takes on people who abuse it. It is intensely addictive and destructive, causing people lose their ability to walk, think well and function. Most articles (such as the linked article) focus on the business of nitrous, rather than the incredible risks of using it (which I have seen first hand).

One thing that has been lost in some of the reporting is that the Trump Administration also agreed to work on controlling US gun shipments to Mexico. This wasn’t mentioned in their press announcements because it cuts against their strong man, good guy with a gun image, but this is part of the agreement. More than 70% of the guns recovered at crime scenes in Mexico come from the U.S. and the Dems have been trying to do something to stop this for years. We have been fueling the violence and instability that is causing people to want to cross the border.

Dude - I read NextDraft on the daily but not today... my stomach just won't tolerate it. The term "LOCK HIM UP" would be appropriate for the Musk Gollum.... He is ACTIVELY BREAKING THE LAW... and will need an IMMEDIATE pardon from the LUNATIC IN CHIEF to get out of his not-fur-lined handcuffs.
