With all the talk about border policy and Harris's role...

How come there hasn't been much talk about us capturing El Chapo's son and another Cartel leader? I've seen plenty of articles, but not much connecting to Biden/Harris border policy. Seems like a big fucking deal when TFG and TCF are crowing about drugs flowing across the border.

Maybe there is just too much 'entertainment' style news for the media to report more heavily about big deals like this one?

But I'm also not seeing Biden or Harris taking victory laps about it.

I've not even seen much reporting on it at all, but I am not reading/watching everything, so I'm probably a shitty barometer.

Are still mum with their suggestions. There is plenty of criticism to go around, but almost no solutions being proposed. At least our side is trying to address the root issues.

You are so right. This seems like a great bulletpoint for the VP!!
