Morgan Wade

It’s fair to say there has never been a more pro-crime US president.

Hey @MarshaBlackburn — if people with drugs thousands of miles away not even coming here are “terrorists” who can be bombed without due process, what does that say about Big Pharma companies you helped shield from accountability as their opioid crisis killed scores of Americans?

I’m assuming it will be a one-off? Or, will they award it to him again in 4 years if he’s still around? Who else on earth would be shameless enough to accept the next one? Anyone in his cabinet I suppose.

It’s not the start of an oligarchy. — We’re in the thick of it.

There is a difference between inheritance and action. I cannot help who my ancestors are, but I can make my own choices. That so many Americans chose to place in power a man who holds people in contempt on the basis of race, religion, and national origin; that so much of the mainstream media conveys this bigotry through tired, obfuscating euphemisms; that there is so low a political price for the president’s racism that he and those around him see little risk in its expression—well, that does say something about America, and Americans. Immigration isn’t breaking our society. That’s a job Americans can do on their own.

The “garbage” destroying America isn’t in Minnesota’s Somalian community. It’s in the Oval Office. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

The AI boom is unsustainable both economically and ecologically. Imagine if the est. 7 trillion dollars to be invested globally was instead directed toward green technology? We could get off fossil fuel entirely and be ready for the coming climate change. www.goldmansachs.com/insights/art...

Really appreciate the clarity of the president saying black people are ruining the country and this entire room of groveling empty suits saying nothing bsky.app/profile/just...

An entire room full of powerful old white people smiling and laughing as the president dehumanizes black immigrants and the first black president.

Just fucking pathetic.

By the way, the real drug traffickers aren’t on the boats. Those are just mules getting paid a few bucks. Trump doesn’t go after the real kingpins, he either leaves them alone or pardons them.

It isn't a war. If it were, the strikes are still war crimes.

The drugs weren't headed to the U.S.

The people killed were likely poor, low-level smugglers, not drug lords.

Most overdose deaths are from fentanyl. Fentanyl doesn't come from South America.

Everything else Marshall says is correct!

So, we're about to watch the Trump administration simultaneously court martial one Admiral for obeying their illegal orders, court martial a second Admiral for refusing to obey their illegal orders, and court martial a retired officer for reminding troops not to obey illegal orders.

Analysis: Trump said he was ‘sharper than I was 25 years ago.’ Then he spent an hour appearing to doze off – again | CNN Politics At the start of a Cabinet meeting just after noon ET on Tuesday, President Donald Trump made his seemingly obligatory reference to “Sleepy Joe” Biden.

If SNL doesn't do a sketch about this on the weekend, they are missing a golden opportunity. It writes itself. www.cnn.com/2025/12/02/p...

I thought it was fentanyl they said they were intercepting, the stuff actually killing those with drug addictions. Trump just pardoned the guy that flooded the US with cocaine. None of it makes any sense.

He discovered the words "affordability" and "groceries" late in life, never having had a need for them, having been born and raised in great wealth, given everything.

Rehearsing her Two Minutes Hate

What an abysmally stupid argument. If they really cared about the drug epidemic they'd be pushing for treatment and understanding root causes. I don't think someone who's loved one has died from an OD has their grief eased by the murder of 80+, some of whom might be traffickers, some fishermen.

One hopes that US military personnel now in doubt about whether to obey illegal orders are watching as these cowards, to protect themselves, throw the pilots under the bus who followed their orders to murder people in cold blood.

Just the fact that he is still claiming to bring down drug prices by 600% and 700% tells you all you need to know about whether he's surrounded by sycophants and yes-folk.

Seconded. That last line hits hard.

Trump Announces Pardon for Honduran Ex-President Convicted in Drug Case

And we have KILLED 80 supposed low-level smugglers. This is as crazy as it is downright obscene.

Trump and his cronies and kin must stand to gain financially one way or another. Still, the contortions a Trump apologist would have to endure to explain this away would be something to behold.

I'd like to know how Trumpists square the pardoning of Hernandez with the murdering of people on boats in the Caribbean, supposedly for alleged drug trafficking. Corruption and fraud can be the only explanations because there could not be two more logically inconsistent actions.

The price of shamelessness.

💯. It's not these patriotic citizens' fault they're being used as performative props by a corrupt, mendacious, and deranged president. They deserve our kindness and respect, and now, devastatingly, our deepest concern and sympathy. 😢

It also ignores the fact that countless *natural born citizens* have committed such acts of violence from the beginning. Miller et al are acting like this is the first time something like this has ever happened. Those poor national guardsmen have literal targets on their backs. Many saw it coming.

Yes, please. It's crass and disrespectful on so many levels.

Democracy dries with snarkness
