President Hernandez was serving 45 years in prison for a plot to distribute 400 tons of cocaine before Trump pardoned him. Meanwhile, Trump is murdering fishermen in small boats for allegedly smuggling far smaller amounts.
“Additionally, I Will be granting a Full and Complete Pardon to Former President Juan Orlando Hernandez who has been, according to many people that | greatly respect, treated very harshly and unfairly.”

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

NEW: About 90,000 people living near larger chemical plants face an unacceptable risk of developing cancer, the EPA says.
New rules adopted last year could’ve cut that number to 3,000 residents — a drop of 97%.
But Trump has halted those efforts.

The conservatives might say that tax cuts create jobs, but they always seem to buy up more companies and lay off workers when they get extra cash to spend. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

That’s me in the video. And a Fox News host just celebrated me being assaulted by ICE.
If ICE will do this to a congressional candidate with a big platform, just imagine what they’re doing to the people they’re kidnapping.

Anyone who's actually worked for living knows that Government shouldn't operate like a business. It's gross to suggest children should get to work if they want to eat.

There's a stronger case that Trump should be forced to divest from his businesses than last time he took office. Why should the head of a fraudulent enterprise be given the opportunity to abuse government power to commit more fraud?

I don't think the tariffs will actually be put into place, but the important part is that it gives businesses a reason to raise prices now. If everyone raises prices at once, it is not a competitive disadvantage to do so.

Was in the proces of signing up for a failing social media platform as an April Fools, but they asked for a phone number to confirm the account and permission to spam the number. At that point the joke took too much effort to set up a burner number so I gave up.
