Trump has never met a corrupt politician he didn't want to pardon. Most corrupt president ever.

Some perspective

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami.

They are lying to us.

We are not at war with Venezuela, yet. The boats are civilian craft. The U.S. criminal code does not maintain a death penalty for drug smuggling. Due process is required before conviction or sentence.

All of the 80 people killed thus far are wanton murders slain under illegal orders. All of them.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.

But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

The infestation is real. It’s all of them.

Thou Shalt Not Murder Fishermen While Pardoning Drug Lords This is evil.

Trump has become more and more nasty, hateful, and abusive to reporters with each passing day. They are just trying to do their jobs, asking questions Americans deserve to know. If he were an ordinary person, we could blame it on dementia.

An FBI dossier assessing the leadership of Kash Patel and his team has deemed them "in over their heads".

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

It’s that simple.

Totally corrupt and a bully.

In the Upside Down (again):
Trump/Hegseth blow up *alleged* drug smugglers in fishing boats, yet pardons *convicted* former Honduran prez Juan Orlando Hernández — who conspired w/drug cartels that sent 400 tons of cocaine to the United States.

Felon47 said he will pardon a former Honduran president sentenced to 45 years in prison on drug and gun charges, a clemency move that comes as Trump regularly speaks about the need to crack down on illegal narcotics.

Crooks flock together.

Pure corruption.

NYT headline: Trump Announces Pardon for Honduran Ex-President Convicted in Drug Case President Trump said he would pardon Juan Orlando Hernández, who prosecutors said partnered with cocaine traffickers as Hondurass president and is serving a 45-year sentence.

trump: “no see we HAVE to blow up those boats in the caribbean, they could be carrying drugs!”

also trump:

Juan Orlando Hernandez was convicted by a jury of conspiring to traffic 400 tons of cocaine into the United States.

I'm not saying Trump wanted him in America to shoot people. I'm saying Trump granted asylum in 2025 because he'd been fully vetted, and Trump supported the program that brought Afghan allies to America in 2021. I'm absolutely *not* suggesting some conspiracy theory that Trump organized the shooting.

I will shop at Lowe’s, not Home Despot (no, that’s not a misspelling.)

So, Hegseth illegally ordered everyone killed in the first alleged drug boat strike on Sept. 2, prompting a second hit to finish off survivors in the water. — This is the real reason why Trump & Hegseth absolutely freaked out about the video against illegal orders.

“Many of you have asked my position on redistricting. I have been an unapologetic advocate for people with intellectual disabilities since the birth of my second daughter. Those of you that don’t know me or my family might not know that my daughter has Down Syndrome. This is not the first time our president has used these insulting and derogatory references and his choices of words have consequences. I will be voting NO on redistricting, perhaps he can use the next 10 months to convince voters that his policies and behavior deserve a congressional majority.”

Michael Bohacek, an Republican state senator in Indiana, says he is a “NO” on Trump’s redistricting push, pointing to the president’s use of a slur

Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

If you want to know why Hegseth is panicking about reminders that there is accountably for giving or carrying out illegal orders, it’s likely because he knows he has given illegal orders to murder people.

Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

Hegseth issued an illegal Caribbean strike order: “Kill them all.”

SEAL Team 6 hit the boat and saw survivors clinging to the wreckage.

Commanders then ordered a second strike to finish them off.

Killing survivors is blatantly illegal.

This plaque is posted at West Point. Alcoholic TV talk show chatterbox Pete Hegseth wants to court-martial Arizona Senator Mark Kelly for repeating what is written on it.

If telling the troops not to follow illegal orders is “sedition,” what do we call colluding with the Kremlin to manipulate the U.S. President into advancing Russian interests over America’s?
