This year, Trump cancelled recognition of World AIDS Day, today, & cuts to funding worldwide have consequences.

We are also supporters.

Splendid.

a surprisingly cogent case that the trump administration is significantly tied to the sinaloa cartel and especially their cryptocurrency fueled money laundering operation

ah, the “we believe we will prevail on appeal” exception to following the law

Ok but what if the president was part of a conspiracy to traffic 400 tons of cocaine from that country into our country?
