As a son of Appalachia, I understand the opioid crisis better than anyone. That's why I'm proud to stand with the Honduran president who delivered drugs to needy Americans with such efficiency.

When it's thought out; Do Supreme Court Justices have the same type of apathy for their children/grandchildren's future as the CEOs and major shareholders of Big Oil.

The Supreme Court’s Ethics Code Is a Joke. Big Oil Knows That.
Oil companies want the Supreme Court to intervene to dismiss lawsuits about climate change. Amy Coney Barrett and Samuel Alito both have big conflicts of interest on that front.

WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

It is also EXACTLY what Trump wanted and was waiting for.
No POTUS has ever so premeditated getting our troops shot at for the sake a personal ambition as brutal as it is demagogic, dictatorial, and illegal.
