“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

Look, again, one very easy way for the New York Times to escape the constant criticism which it has found itself subject to these last years would be for it to stop acting in ways that <completely justify> all of the constant criticism which it has found itself subject to these last years.
How did the @nytimes.com editors let this sentence appear?
"Critics have likened Mr. Trump’s approach to extortion, while others have chalked it up as a cost of doing business with this administration."

If you want Pete Hegseth to be able to kill anybody he wants anytime he wants while serving up “trust me bro” as justification with zero oversight from Congress, who gives the Trump admin a blank check to do whatever it wants, then vote for the cowardly Republican enablers.

It’s clear that the primary interest of the US in “peace negotiations” is to create opportunities for Trump, Witkoff, their family members, business partners and cronies to make billions from business deals with Russia, and Ukraine is just the annoying nuisance in the way.

1. we don’t do royal decrees so, sorry, no
2. the reason the government respects decisions made by prior administrations is so that the decisions made by the current administration will be respected by the next one. that’s less of a concern if you don’t plan to leave office.

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