Maybe one or two of them wouldn't have been pardoned, but also probably not.

Buckle up..

https://www.thehandbasket.co/p/trump...er-draft-scoop

Quote:
The heads of the US Departments of Commerce, Defense, Justice and State received a copy of a draft executive order (EO) likely sometime last week stating that President Trump would be designating fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction, The Handbasket is first to report.

At a meeting of the Policy Coordination Committee (PCC) hosted by the Homeland Security Council (HSC) on Friday, March 14th, the departments discussed the draft, per a copy of the post-meeting read out shared with me. By this week, the draft was shared with additional employees in the Department of State, per a source there.
Quote:
The EO may be published as early as next week, the Department of State source tells me, but the timeline isn’t confirmed. The source speculates the purpose is a combination of designating fentanyl cartels as terrorist organizations and creating justification for conducting military operations in Mexico and Canada. They also suspect that it will be used domestically as justification for rounding up homeless encampments and deporting drug users who are not citizens.

It technically can be an has been used as a weapon of mass destruction. Russian authorities used aerosolized fentanyl derivatives during the Moscow Theater crisis to pretty much kill everyone in the theatre (militants and hostages).

It's a pretty convenient technicality, given the narrative that's been created and directed towards Canada these last few months.

If it’s any consolation the whole fentanyl as a WMD has been a thing for a long time. Not to say Trump won’t do something stupid but various states and government agencies have been pushing classifying it as a wmd since at least trumps first term. Maybe earlier.

Let’s hope they don’t use it as a pretext to invade.

Why don’t they limit Executive Orders to 3? And no Executive Order to allow more Executive Orders.

It's literally a suspicion from someone in the State Department. Read the link in my previous post.

I hope you’re right. We’ll be out if the country soon for a few weeks and would prefer not to return to a country at war militarily.
