“Cartel hitmen wear masks. Leftists aren’t complaining,” Lee wrote, referring to an image of masked Mexican cartel members at a gas station from earlier that day.
Cartel hitmen also aren't killing American citizens in the streets of America...

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

cartel hitmen arent employed or paid by the government either
That we know of. Would you honestly be surprised at this point if our tax dollars were going to the cartels, moving drugs in here just so there could be drug arrests? For some reason we decided that felons can't have guns or vote even after they've done their time, and we've decided that enslavement of convicts is perfectly legal.
enslavement of convicts
I of course am 100% against this.
But its literally in the constitution. America still has legal slavery.
Quote,
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Such a modern country
Yeah, so would it really be so surprising if big business sent lobbyists to push the government to get drugs into the country so more people could be arrested and forced to do slave labor for said big business? The lobbying would only need to me cheaper than paying the laborers. Slashing labor costs would yield record profits, and this is not news to the psychopaths who run massive companies.
I'm being hyperbolic, kinda, but I'd probably feel less threatened approaching a cartel member than an ICE agent.
Edit: If anything at least I'd know the cartel member would have way more probability of being prosecuted if they murdered me than an ICE agent would, who would have probably done so in broad daylight, on camera with dozens of witnesses.
No congruity in thought processes with that maga crowd - just hate and venom towards peoole of color and those who see them as equals
