I doubt that Trump would ever pardon Brian Cole, but make no mistake
There is little difference between one person who plants bombs in support of a coup
And another who heads a militia engaged in a seditious plot-complete with deadly weapons-who is trying to enact that same coup

there are of course many examples of political constituencies that have in fact killed scores of children (en route to some other evil goal), but I can't offhand think of any historical examples of a political constituency organized for that specific purpose
Breaking: After contentious debates and three failed attempts at a vote, a federal vaccine committee decided on Friday to end the decades-long recommendation that all newborns be immunized at birth against hepatitis B.

They watched 2 wounded struggling men for an HOUR before they murdered them.
An HOUR was more than enough time to rescue the victims.
An HOUR that proves the murder victims were not a threat to those cowards on that US ship.

European reaction to the new American national strategy document
The headline, the main takeaway from a European viewpoint is this:
The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a sppech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.

Narco-Terrorist is a fictional name, made up by the Trump administration. It’s inflammatory, and drug smuggling is illegal. However, anyone suspected of crimes, is allowed to due process. It’s not an instant death penalty. Drugs can be apprehended, thus preventing any trade. They aren’t bombs.
