This is quite a confab going on down on the southern border. Ted Cruz did a piece early this morning, talking about how he was at the scene of a “humanitarian crisis” with thousands of immigrants pouring across the Rio Grande, women and children sleeping on the floors of huts or something but all you could see on camera was weeds. Then Tom Cotton arrived at this war zone, wearing a Polo shirt. But my favorite, hands down, is Steve Daines, doing a riff right out of a Breaking Bad script, about how great it was in Montana, back in the day, when men were men and meth was meth.
Sen. Steve Daines: “Twenty years ago in Montana, meth was homemade. It was homegrown. And you had purity levels less than 30%. Today the meth that is getting into Montana is Mexican cartel.” pic.twitter.com/Xtu1geaVxJ

My brother and I used to get up at dawn every morn to milk the meth. I’ll never forget the sight of Pa driving the meth herd down from the high meadow in early spring. It’s all gone now, thanks to this furrin’ meth from done yonder Mexico way.

I thought that was Dianne Feinstein's fault, another domestic job killing Democrat, requiring sudophed to be behind the counter at the pharmacy and limiting how much you can buy? My congested family hates her for it, and it killed the last real domestic manufacturing.

Made in America meth is where it’s at. No more outsourcing of meth manufacturing jobs to Mexico.
I lived in a town where a guy massacred his best friend. He was on the run for 3 days. He’s incarcerated in Walla Walla now. He killed his best friend while he was on meth.
He sounds like he’s romanticizing it. You believe that?
So, how many folks who were arrested and imprisoned in Montana for making and/or using meth are going to be contacting attorneys seeking to have their arrests AND convictions overturned because a sitting US Senator actually ENDORSED “home-grown” meth as a good thing compared to drugs coming from Mexico?
And, I’m guessing Sen Daines doesn’t really know how meth comes about. He must be confusing it with his apparent drug of choice–marijuana (which IS “grown”). Of course, he could be discussing tobacco (which IS, legally and medically speaking, a drug) or possibly cocaine or heroin (both of which are derived from plants, thus “grown,” but need further refinement and processing to be used–or abused).
Daines is sitting in the one place in the US where that could be fixed. (It’s called “making laws”, Senator, and it’s *your* *job*.)
We were walking on…High Meth…
Old times there we never forget…
Those fertile fields were never far away…

Leaving it off was the hardest thing we ever faced.
So there’s a flood of Mexican heroin that’s SUDDENLY coming into Montana? Where did they get it before? Was it homegrown too? Or the vast poppy fields of Wyoming?
I so hate it when folks who know nearly nothing of a subject open their mouths about it. And just from my observation, it looks like the GQP in Congress leans heavily that way, whereas the Dems seem well equipped with persons of intelligence. The list only starts with Katie Porter, AOC, Adam Schiff.
