Just a hunch . . . but I bet Juan Orlando Hernández, a man known for taking $1,000,000 bribes from drug lords and who, himself, trafficked in billions of dollars of cocaine, had enough money lying around to buy a pardon from the crassly transactional and greedy, Donald J. Trump.

There will be a Pulitzer prize for the journalist who can reveal the details of how this pardon happened.

Because it's not mathematically possible.
Trump claims he's slashing drugs prices by "200 percent, 300 percent, 400 percent, 500 percent, 600 percent, 700 percent, 800 percent. Nobody has ever heard of it before."

According to the US Coast Guard, the year prior to Trump changing our policy to summary execution, only 21% of the vessels interdicted by them off the coast of Venezuela suspected of trafficking drugs had drugs on board. The other 79% had nothing. But now we just kill them all.

Example: I bought the same shredded potatoes at the grocery store this morning for $2.99 I bought just six months ago for $2.49.

That's a 21% increase. And this product is not affected by tariffs. Trump's tariffs are taxing us to death.
Trump: "Since last January we've stopped inflation in its tracks. And there is still more to do. There is always more to do. But we have it down to a very good level."

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 man's brain is so cooked he doesn't realize that having to take a cognitive test is a sign of cognitive deficiencies
Trump: "I took my physical. I got all As. Everything. But they said to me, 'would you like to take a cognitive test?' I said, 'Is it hard?' They said, 'yes.' I said, 'Well, I'm a very smart person. Who was the last president to take one?' 'No president has ever agreed to take one' ... I aced it."
