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.

"I co-wrote Trump's first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-2018. He's not trying to stop "left wing" terrorism. He is staging it.
His troop deployments are a false flag – meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.
This is now very obvious."

The idea that a country and the descendants of its colonizers who committed mass genocide of native people – while kidnapping and enslaving countless millions of others – treats recent immigrants as criminals while indiscriminately kidnapping and deporting them is beyond words hypocritical and evil.

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.
