Assuming every boat Trump and Hegseth blew up contained the amount of drugs they claim, Hernandez was responsible for bringing more drugs into the US than every one of them had combined. By far. And yet, Trump murders 80+ people and counting while pardoning the narco kingpin.

In sworn testimony during his trial, a witness testified that former President Hernández once said that he wanted to “shove drugs right up the noses of the gringos.”
Now he is going to be granted a pardon by President Trump — not even a commutation — and be freed from a 45-year prison sentence.

The president is such a bumbling idiot he thinks tweeting out the word "hereby" a couple times on his white supremacist social media site is the same thing as making an actual law.
The only story here is the one about a mentally diminished, increasingly erratic president who thinks he's a king.

It should go without saying, but the president has no authority to do this, and anyone reporting the story needs to say as such.

Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates.
“I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said.

The Trump regime granted the suspected shooter asylum earlier this year.
Now they are taking his alleged crime out on all Afghan nationals seeking entrance to the US.
Another ban. Another excuse for violence and deportation.
