TRUMP IS A TERRORIST

Deborah Jones's avatar

Thank you Aaron. Question: Does Trump make any explanation of how he could pardon and release the ex-president of Honduras and still try to claim he is fighting against drugs to protect Americans….while he has our military killing fishermen…this makes no sense at all! Can congress or the Supreme court (anyone?) ask him to explain that?

Hernandez made a fortune from coke, more than enough to buy a pardon.

Louise Purfield-Coak's avatar

And we all know who can never get enough of that!

Dana Bennett's avatar

That’s how Trump operates — just on money. Obviously Hernandez paid a BUNCH of $$$. T is DISGUSTING!!!

John Christopher's avatar

Trump, is FOR💲 SALE as is America, welcome to world according to Trump and with daily heaping doses of chaos, cruelty and destruction and it's like former Republican Rick Wilson said in his book entitled " Everything Trump Touches Dies"!

Thomas Moore's avatar

He said "some people" in Honduras told him the president was set up.

Louise Purfield-Coak's avatar

Yeah, like The Orange Orc was set up like E Jean Carroll or Jeffrey Epstein, or Duetcha Bank or however you spell it! Or for that matter Jack Smith? Trump is nothing but a con man.

Dana Bennett's avatar

Jack Smith is CLEAN.

Louise Purfield-Coak's avatar

Instead of like E Jean Carroll it should say by

Eric Glover's avatar

Was that before or after Hernandez's paid trump $2m for the pardon?

Sharon's avatar

And we always believe “some people”?

Louise Purfield-Coak's avatar

I heard an cynical comment on MS Now. " Everyone knows that Right Wing Cocaine is good for you! " Of course, the unspoken part is Left Wing Cocaine has to be destroyed by all means possible, even if by murder!

Christine's avatar

That means he didn’t talk to anyone, but I’m sure money was involved.

This pardon was all about buying the Honduran election. There is no reason to do it otherwise. The drug lord (he was never president, was he?) has many corrupt tendrils in his country that he can control better once pardoned. And Trump is interfering in the Honduran election by "encouraging" some candidates over others. Certainly NOT the left-wing candidate, who they will try to kneecap if he gets close to being competitive.

I heard the tech bros have their own city in Honduras

S. A. Linden's avatar

"Prospera," a city funded by venture capitalists according to Wiki:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Próspera>

I had read something about that, but I couldn't recall the name of the country. Thx for the reminder. It's probably 100% relevant.

Amy L's avatar

Thanks for the info!!

Geoffrey Fox's avatar

Sadly no on will ask. This regime doesn’t care

Kristina Harris's avatar

He is using the excuse that their president was set up and it was all a ploy by Biden to get the Hondurian president out of office, for the gain of the US

PIA FRIDAY's avatar

He freed that man bc someone paid it to him. I wish I was a government auditor!!

Eric Glover's avatar

No you don't? Trump would have fired you a long time ago!

PIA FRIDAY's avatar

True!!! I can't even argue that😂

Snoozer's avatar

It seems to me Trump has a bucket list of all the negative descriptors he wants to accomplish before he kicks that bucket. Terrorist, murderer, con man, extortionist, rapist, abuser, pedophile…ad nauseum (literally!).

Karen Close's avatar

And all with Presidential immunity.

Snoozer's avatar

That’s why he is doing this stuff so blatantly.

John Christopher's avatar

Indeed and in all caps!

AVee. (Alexia)'s avatar

Outstanding Reporting Aaron!

Aaron Parnas's avatar

Thank you so much!!!

AVee. (Alexia)'s avatar

🇺🇸👏

Jill's avatar

Yes. From a Jewish mother, get sleep and eat nourishing foods.

AVee. (Alexia)'s avatar

☺️☺️☺️🎵🎵👏We have him pretty well covered then!☺️

Sue Smith's avatar

At today's cabinet meeting Hegseth said they knew exactly who was in the boat on September 2.

Skitealwedrop's avatar

Fishermen unfortunately.

Mary Makofske's avatar

Then they can name them and say how they know these people were running drugs. Congress needs to demand it.

AVee. (Alexia)'s avatar

Hmmm

Thanks

I will wait for proof

Patricia Bartos's avatar

Aaron my question is if there was war fog, you apparently can't see, then how would you know there are survivors? How long after the first strike did the 2nd strike occur?

Chrissyleeb's avatar

This is what happens when imbeciles elect other imbeciles to lead our country. The rest of us knew that Trump was not capable of leading a homeowners association, let alone country. Why didn’t you? Because you’ve been dumbed down by years of Fox entertainment television as your news source. STOP WATCHING FOX, OAN, Newsmax, and other dishonest news sources.

Dana Bennett's avatar

Thank you for cogent statement. Excellent word choices imbeciles electing embeciles- YES!!

Diana Faith Adair's avatar

Lively writing! Points well made.

Vickie Thompson's avatar

Well said! Thank you

Linda Maldonado's avatar

I hope all the people file claims against the US against human rights!

KC's avatar

First ... but probably not last under this administration

Mike Hammer's avatar

So many people being thrown under the bus. They are going to need a bigger bus.

S. A. Linden's avatar

That was pretty good, Mike.

Roberta Truesdale's avatar

All others would be smart to follow suit!

Andrew Nduati's avatar

They’re so fucking stupid that they’re boasting about committing war crimes and demonstrable neglect

Chris's avatar

And not a damn thing happens to any of them. Shit gets old. If it was any democrats they'd call for their heads.

M Garcia's avatar

They literally get away with murder. So sick of this.

S. A. Linden's avatar

All while "Sleepy Don" sleeps through it. Until it becomes about HIM, and then he's wide awake. It's shameful and his physicians should have their licenses removed for refusing to be honest about his condition.

Black Raven's avatar

More families need to come out and give a report/ complaint. because I'm most if not all those killed in those boats were not drug traffickers/ smugglers. Even criminals are given due process. These people were given none! This republican fascist corrupt regime needs to pay for what they did, which is MURDER. They need to also be impeached for treason.

Peter Tey's avatar

Numerous murders, i'm sure. Others should follow the Colombian family. Even if some were trafficking drugs, killing them without proof in open waters and without due process is a CRIME

Louise Purfield-Coak's avatar

Those boats weren't big enough to carry much Cocaine in the scheme of things. Petty traffickers at best! Then Trump released the Narco Terrorist like Hernandez!

Peter Tey's avatar

The whole set up is BS, we know that

But killing people in the process is unforgivable

Louise Purfield-Coak's avatar

Yes! Everything this Administration does is BS. Just a reality TV show based on fantasy.

Peter Tey's avatar

The difference—— unlawful killing

Claire Woody's avatar

We knew they'd never take ownership of it and pass it off to a scapegoat

Jamie Bradburn-Kilcline's avatar

This is what happens when we have unqualified people running our government

1WhiteTree's avatar

Unqualified and immoral….

Peter Tey's avatar

Exactly, unqualified and with evil intent

Nancy Arnold's avatar

Sounds like the story keeps changing to fit whatever narrative Pete thinks he needs.

S. A. Linden's avatar

SOP for Fox. Ditto for Petey.

Lulu's avatar

The buck stops NOWHERE

Dana Bennett's avatar

It’s about TIME!!! This has been a RIDICULOUS strategy. But in the meantime - NOW the US military is KILLING people who WE don’t know WHO they are AND worse, do NOT WHY they are targets. It’s INSANITY!

Peter Tey's avatar

Immorality thy name is This Regime, from top to bottom

S. A. Linden's avatar

I just went to Wikipedia to check a another detail on Hegseth and couldn't stop reading their section on his sexual assault charges. He has pulled the same trick w/ those accusations that he's pulling w/ these war crimes charges, gradually shifting stories and admitting certain things in favor of others. It makes very interesting reading, that Wiki section. And shocking, considering where he is now and what he's in charge of.

Peter Tey's avatar

I admire you for taking the trouble to educate yourself in this Low Life.

Nancy Eddy's avatar

I had immediately thought that maybe these people were fishermen trying to feed their families. Not any danger to us. And frankly if they were smuggling drugs no one is forced to take them. What a cruel bunch we have at the top.

S. A. Linden's avatar

There ARE more drugs coming out of Colombia, but that makes liars out of Trump anyway.

Sue Saunders's avatar

so if there was fog and they didn't see the two people why did they strike again?

Francesca Cee's avatar

They really think we're stupid. The Trump cult may be that stupid, but the rest of us are not

Ruth's avatar

Hegseth is so illiterate he used the idiom The fog of War incorrectly we are not at war.He ment confusion but he thinks the fog of war makes him sound intelligent . The fog of war was first used by M Clarke in 1836 and is also the name of a documentary. What an ASS he is. But I am not the first person to call him that!

WonderWoman's avatar

And immediately stated “ This is what you people don't understand “ .

Wendymae's avatar

I was totally shocked to learn that he has degrees from Princeton and Harvard, proving that an ivy league education doesn't mean you're smart.

Danuta's avatar

Exactly! They also said that the “boat”, which was literally blown to pieces was “still considered a threat”. The Admiral that decided to retire knew exactly what he was going to be asked to do. Admiral Bradley is going to be their scapegoat. There is a chain of command though… the President and Hegseth!

Diana Faith Adair's avatar

Don't ask silly questions! Seriously, Well put. I was thinking that, too.

Rosemary Smekal's avatar

I can’t believe Hegseth said that. We’re not dumb. “Fog of war”. It’s not war😡😡

Jamie Murray's avatar

Exactly! He’s Mr Big Stuff … when really, he’s a weekend Fox News STAND IN! Who does he think WE think he is? A competent Secretary of WAR!?! This is getting out of hand. His antics are dramatic & comical … too bad they lead to awful places: the firing of top brass & lecturing on being FAT!

How DARE he say ANYTHING to these patriots in high places where he’s NEVER BEEN. He’s a dangerous walking talking JOKE of a man!

Emily Melander's avatar

Right! The boat was in flames. It wasn’t going anywhere anymore. The second strike was a war crime and also irrelevant.

Hell, the first strike was criminal.
