A significant component of America’s crime problem is made up of hardened, U.S.-born criminals who traffic in the drugs, guns and violence plaguing our country.

    I thought everyone knew meth comes from Nazis. Like, not only have white-supremacist dirtbags been big in the US meth trade since forever, but the actual historical German Nazis were literally on meth. Here’s Wikipedia —

    From 1938, methamphetamine was marketed on a large scale in Germany as a nonprescription drug under the brand name Pervitin, produced by the Berlin-based Temmler pharmaceutical company. It was used by all branches of the combined armed forces of the Third Reich, for its stimulant effects and to induce extended wakefulness. Pervitin became colloquially known among the German troops as “Stuka-Tablets” (Stuka-Tabletten) and “Herman-Göring-Pills” (Hermann-Göring-Pillen), as a snide allusion to Göring’s widely-known addiction to drugs.

    (The Allies favored cigarettes, which Hitler hated.)

    They’ll just say that it’s all a show and that those who were arrested and charged were all feds. Like they do every time someone they agree with makes them look bad.

    97 pounds of fentanyl

    I think the feds can charge you with an upgraded felony if the amount of drugs can be expressed in imperial units.
