HISTORICAL - a coalition or cooperative arrangement between political parties intended to promote a mutual interest.
Millions of cartel members lie for a living to include the DEA, most elected officials, 99.9% of cops, prosecutors, judges, urine testers, treatment providers, money launderers and banks, most media, preachers and especially physicians who know better but choose to go along to get along and thus choose to first do harm. Cowards, liars, all criminal cartel members who will never defend their madness.
