President Trump is pardoning a convicted Honduran drug lord who openly boasted that he would "stuff the drugs right up the noses of the gringos," and push drugs into America. This is the most pro-crime, pro-corruption administration in our country's history.

Which cartel does Trump have the United States of America siding with?
Surely not the fishermen being slaughtered in our name.
No, not them.
But this guy and his buddies?
Suits and ties, good to go, fit right in.
And what, exactly, is Trump getting from this deal?
Because with Trump it's always something.
Asking for a friend.

Asking for a friend.

Top of the Morning, Doc Sarvis:

The US is the largest Foreign Direct Investor (FDI) in Honduras and jointly operates the Soto Cano Air Base with the HAF.
So, business is good.

Most Hondurans still have a favorable opinion of the US and Dummkopf Trumpf did not appoint a political hack to be the US Ambassador, rather a seasoned diplomat with a solid head on her shoulders.

In the new Bizarro 'Monroe Doctrine' of Der Dotard, he wants business-friendly rightwing despots leading Latin and South American countries, regardless of their sordid relationship with narco-traffickers, rain forest destroyers, or death squads.

In Juan Orlando Hernandez, "Old Senescence' sees a potential loyal satrap in the future.

Just a stab in the dark with my first cup of coffee and smoke, Doc Sarvis.

It's an Ugly American face with which the peoples and histories of the region have long been cursed.

Trumpers don't question a Trump Decision.

They just think what they are told to think.

From The Guardian:

Trump's pardon of Honduras's ex-president shows counter-drug effort is based on lies and hypocrisy'

Latin America correspondent
Why has Trump blown up alleged narco boats in the Caribbean and at the same time decided to let a big time trafficker off the hook?

Hey, an orange menace pardon I have no problem with at all.

If he pardons EVERYBODY in prison for drug 'crime' he'd have actually accomplished something good. The stupid 'war on some drugs' has been one of the darkest chapters in American history, and it needs to end. There are FAR too many people in American prisons because of this 'drugs are bad, mmmkay' garbage.

And this one is particularly egregious, the former president of another country should NEVER be in an American prison. If they committed war crimes or other crimes against humanity, ship them to The Hague. Otherwise, it's not our monkey, not our circus.

The majority of people in prison are there for possessing drugs, selling drugs, or doing something to get money for drugs.

What a waste of resources.

We could educate every prisoner - or send them to rehab - for what it costs to incarcerate them.

Meanwhile, Trump pardons a huge drug trafficker, responsible for tons of cocaine reaching the U.S. ...

Trump loves his cocaine. That's why he can't control his bowels.
