Do you know that just Trump pardoned someone convicted of trafficking hundreds of tons of drugs into the US?

[goaded]

I mean, GOP lawmakers seem to be completely ignorant of that fact, despite it happening a week or more ago.

"The judge in his case, P. Kevin Castel, had called Mr. Hernández “a two-faced politician hungry for power” who masqueraded as an antidrug crusader while partnering with traffickers. And prosecutors had asked the judge to make sure Mr. Hernández would die behind bars, citing his abuse of power, connections to violent traffickers and “the unfathomable destruction” caused by cocaine."

"Honduran ex-president Juan Orlando Hernández released from US prison after Trump pardon

Juan Orlando Hernández, the former president of Honduras, has been released from a US prison, according to online records of federal inmates, after he received a pardon from US President Donald Trump for drug charges.

The records show Hernández was released from the high security facility of USP Hazelton in West Virginia on Monday.

Hernández was found guilty in March 2024 of conspiring to import cocaine to the US, and of possessing machine guns. He was sentenced to 45 years in prison."

Yes but at least the peasants paid a few pesos to boat up the coast get death rained down by drone. Even a second hit against survivors clinging to the wreck.

We currently live in the upside down world where if you've committed serious crimes you get pardoned but if you're a working class nonwhite person we're deporting you.

This is what people voted for willingly by the way...

[goaded]

It's the pathetic way the GOP legislators all claim not to have heard the news that really gets me. How dare we pay attention to the man behind the curtain!

Money for elections doesn't come from air and biotope like CIA who has customers and Cartels which have production capacity and product generate money among many other branches which invest in politicians like Trump.

Yes and at the same time he's trying to use drugs as a pretence to start a war with Venezuela and steal their oil. It's a crazy world. But the consequences will come I'm sure of that.

You just can't make this shit up, can you? LOL

I do not know. The judge was a Bush appointee so I do not think he was railroaded.

According to MAGA, Trump can do no wrong.

[goaded]

Obviously.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Trump's MAGANS' God.

Nothing surprises me with this circus.

I'm sure Fox "News" and OANN covered it extensively.

Why does that matter to you?

[goaded]

Why don't truth and justice matter to you?

[Sal_Monella]

You evaded my question. Why does that matter to you? How does it affect your life?

[goaded]

Because a lawless, corrupt, fascist USA affects every person on Earth.

[Sal_Monella]

How does Trump pardoning someone convicted of trafficking hundreds of tons of drugs into the US affect you personally?

[goaded]

How does my question affect you personally?

See, we can both be assholes. Isn't it fun!

Or you could answer the question, maybe even discuss the implications, like that it's yet another example of Trump's lies about his priorities.

[Sal_Monella]

You are evading my question. my thought it was simple. How does it affect you? Complain about sure. They affect me and you. Trump's pardoning. You are just throwing a pie at the wall.

[Sal_Monella]

complain about tariffs..

[goaded]

" Because a lawless, corrupt, fascist USA affects every person on Earth. " I told you.

[Sal_Monella]

You are hopelessly lost. Stay home.

So, to sum up your response to the question, you say: "".

A great waste of both our time.

[Sal_Monella]

Please, do not waste your time.
