Just for muscle memory's sake, it would be fun if everyone thought of one way to make political hay over this. Got a GOP MoC? Call them out for being the party of crime publicly. Got a MAGAt family member? Call and ask why they're freeing cocaine traffickers.
So, seems like we’re not all that serious about fighting the war on drugs after all.

For instance the right has veered towards outright sociopathy because it is essentially immersed in a lynch mob 24/7, in which attention and fame are secured by endorsing ever-more-psychopathic expressions of violence towards a (largely hallucinated) class of subhuman out-group enemies
Megyn Kelly on alleged war crimes: "I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."

The administration may be gearing up for an armed attack on Venezuela that is being justified as part of the war on drugs — even as Trump announced he is pardoning former Honduras President Juan Orlando Hernández, who is serving a 45-year prison sentence for drug trafficking. wapo.st/49LrEvh
Opinion | No wonder Trump is outraged by warnings about illegal orders
There’s a reason lawmakers worry about the military being told to ignore the law.

Yep. People don't seem to realize everyone in this administration is protected from criminality. They'll all get pardons. Don't waste your energy hoping for justice that will never come.
Please focus these posts on winning back Congress and not some abstract tribunal. Congress is the only place these folks will face questions - not in Hegseth’s DoD or Bondi’s DoJ, or the Hauge (we aren’t subject to the ICC). And not in the next administration because Trump will pardon all of them.

"why would Trump, whose poll numbers are cratering, generate even more negative headlines by pardoning Hernández, who was duly convicted of conspiring to send more than 400 tons (!) of cocaine to America?
The answer is the influence of the crypto/tech broligarchy."

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.

The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

these freaks are doing absolutely terrifying stuff on a wholesale basis. probably more horror than anyone will ever really know
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Trump did not say that the licenses of ABC affiliates should be taken away, as much of the media is reporting. Trump said that ABC's license should be taken away. He has believed for years that TV *networks* are licensed. He believes this the way he believes you need ID to buy groceries.
