Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

Make this make sense. The President launches lethal strikes on transporters of cocaine, but then pardons Juan Orlando Hernández, a convicted cocaine kingpin.
In mafia terms, it’s like going after the bagman while inviting the mob boss to dinner.
PS: Ban the presidential pardon.

![“The loss of retirement income has made a significant impact on our daily lives. Our
inability to meet our housing expenses necessitated in us taking on credit card debt to
maintain our home in which we provide housing for our handicapped son. You can
imagine the anxiety this has caused us in providing for his and our needs. We now
have over $100,000.00 in credit card debt in addition to the interest we have incurred
to allow us to maintain our mortgage and remain in our home. At the time of this
investment we had NO credit card debt! As elderly senior citizens at the age of 82 and
76 our ability to find additional income is extremely limited. We are now at a point of
looking at our belongings to sell to allow us to stay in our home. The emotional stress
of this has taken a fiscal and mental toll on our ability to function. We felt we planned
well for our retirement years and feel robbed by the actions of this crime.” D.E. DOJ0002356.
• “Since the GPB fraud stated, we have lost well over half of our family[’]s net worth
[and] a large portion of our income . . . At 74, I have been unable to retire now. My
wife [] has contracted cancer and has ongoing treatment. And our daughter [], who has
cerebral palsy, has had to ensure the ensuring stress from all of that.” M.F. DOJ0001930.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreifj3ulaoxnrnhbrk7z2gnegme22juwnwnj45xuwopak457jjg2kue@jpeg)

2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.
