    Wait… he’s killing fishermen who might be trafficking drugs, but he pardons a major narco-boss? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?

        What would surprise me is if there is a successful assassination and the GOP doesn’t start another civil war

          I’d like to see him assassinated, but I want it to be slow and painful

          The US isn’t on the brink of civil war, despite how it looks. That’s why Drumpf is using ICE as his personal thugs. He could whip up the rednecks for free, but they’re too useless. They’d have banded together when Obama was president if they were capable

        Eh some arguably are but there are videos of the ones they think they’ll get the least blowback from and those are multi engineer v hulls with dozens of rectangular packages front to back. Those ones would be stopped either way since that’s traditionally been a red flag for drug trafficking. That said normally you stop the boats and arrest and attempt to turn them to get bigger fish in your net not the guys paid like a thousand dollars to drive boats. You want chemists and labs not jose the fisherman who couldn’t pay his bills and turned to crime.

      Of course, he was a head of state. He shouldn’t have even been charged. Duh.

      I hope this strips off more MAGAts from the group.

        If they even hear about this it will be filed under abstract concepts they don’t care about, like Honduras.
