The War on Drugs- Hypocrisy

Posted by Soccer User icon on December 2, 2025, 12:09 am

Why has Trump blown up Venezuela alleged narco boats, but at the same time he has pardoned Juan Orlando Hernandez who just last year was sentenced to 45 years in prison for creating a cocaine superhighway to the United States?

Trump says of Hernandez “The people of Honduras really thought he was set up and it was a terrible thing,” Trump told reporters on Sunday. “He was the president of the country and they basically said he was a drug dealer because he was the president of the country … and I looked at the facts and I agreed with them.” Total BS

Why would the Trump use his “war on drugs” as a justification for overthrowing Maduro –while simultaneously offering a Get Out of Jail Free card to a man already found guilty of such crimes in a Manhattan federal court?

If you are in Trump's favor, he will believe anything you say as long as it doesn't implicate him.

Trump said that Hegseth told him he did not give the order to "kill them all" referring to the survivors of one of the attacks on the boats. Trump said he believes him, enough said.

Both Republicans and Democrats are pushing for an investigation into this. My guess is Hegseth gave the order and he is so incompetent that he didn't know it was a war crime.

Since the Trump Administration is anything but transparent about what the mission is.

Hegseth has barred most reporters from the Pentagon.

I think Trump will have to fire Hegseth because both Dems and GOP want this "kill them all" policy investigated.Trump will not be able to cover this one up like he has so many others.

Congress needs to get to the bottom of why all the military buildup in the Caribbean..

As far as Trump and his pardoning of criminals...there is always something in it for Trump or his family..He misuses the pardon power as a political tool and for self gain.

Well, he answered your question here: “The people of Honduras really thought he was set up and it was a terrible thing,”

So apparently you’re thinking Maduro would never do such a thing, eh?

As for blowing up Fentanyl drug runners in the water, no, they are not carrying cargo of sardines, would you rather they reach our shores for equal opportunity distribution?

When scared & ignorant white trash and self-hating POC reinstall the measurably dumbest SOB who’s ever held the office, dumb shit is inevitably going to happen.

As long as fatass gets to cosplay fry cook or trash man, he’ll be happy.

He just wants to ride on the float at the parade and cut the ribbon when stuff opens.

He’s spent 80 years not learning anything. Improvement isnt going to start now.

His followers will lap this up, hot & straight from the diaper and grovel for more.

Blu says- "As for blowing up Fentanyl drug runners in the water, no, they are not carrying cargo of sardines, would you rather they reach our shores for equal opportunity distribution?"

Better do you own research as opposed to anything the Trump administration says.

Fact:

Experts and U.S. intelligence reports indicate that Venezuela plays virtually no role in the production or trafficking of fentanyl to the U.S.. While some drugs like cocaine may be trafficked through or from Venezuela to Europe, the fentanyl pipeline is a distinct network.

What is the real reason behind going after Maduro? Vast oil reserves maybe?

So the original question was why, if Trump is so focused on the war on Drugs, is he going after a bit player that has virtually no role in making or distribution fentanyl, but he pardons a man convicted and sentence to 45 years for drug trafficking.

Oh, like you and he said... "the people of Honduras really thought he was set up"

Give me an effin break.

I think the basis for the Democrats protest here is that they are worried that the prices they pay for party drugs will make their raves unaffordable.

Defund the police, emasculate the military, both sides of the same coin. These scumbags want social workers at crime scenes and therapists in combat zones.

The Seditious Six makes a video and with perfect timing the WAPO conjures up a story claiming Hegseth gave an illegal order. Like nobody could have seen that coming, right???

Blu - that (whatever it was supposed to be) was truly cringe worthy.

Trump is unhinged and out of control.... he's gotten to the point where his true motives are so obvious and he doesn't even care because he feels invincible. He's appointed a mixed bag of unqualified, incompetent people who will do whatever he says to stay in his favor. Some of his loyal MAGAts are seeing the truth, but it seems most will defend his every move.

Trump cares nothing about the war on Drugs and nothing says that more than blowing up boats that don't even traffic in fentanyl while simultaneously pardoning a convicted drug trafficker (by an American jury) :

At the federal trial of Juan Orlando Hernández in New York, testimony and evidence showed how the former president maintained Honduras as a bastion of the global drug trade. He orchestrated a vast trafficking conspiracy that prosecutors said raked in millions for cartels while keeping Honduras one of Central America’s poorest, most violent and most corrupt countries.

He was sentenced to 45 years in prison which Trump wiped away because "the people of Honduras felt he was set up"

It's all starting to fall apart after less than a year in. Trump is already falling asleep in televised cabinet meetings.

Obama used over 500 drone strikes killing nearly 4,000 people, including 325 civilians and 4 Americans. Just a wild guess that the resident leftists were fine with that.

Yet today Trump is the bad guy for killing Venezuelan cartel members smuggling drugs on speed boats. Its interesting what these people can piss away as no big deal and what they work themselves in a tizzy over. Its almost as though they dont have an ounce of actual integrity.

Joe loves to engage in "whataboutisms" also known as deflection and it's usually an irrelevant comparison. It's part of the MAGA playbook and it's as old and tired as Trump himself.

It's expected and not difficult to see it for what it is. For good measure, Joe always throws in a "why didn't they react to what (insert Democratic politician's name) did. Probably because it usually has little if any relevance to current events.

Oh nonsense.

You folks simply turn a blind eye to it, just like the allegations of Sharpton’s sexual misconduct, Clinton’s predatory deviance, Swallwell’s close (intimate?) relationship with Chinese spy, Fang Fang. All freaking taken to backrooms and buried in private committees, none the less. Swallwell probably pillow talked with Fang Fang on MPG’s counterfeit pillows.

You can continue to treat these criminal behavior as all non issues until the cows come home, but it stills doesn’t take away the stink of corruption and hypocrisy.

You find a portion of POC’s dialect as “cringe worthy”?

That’s RACIST!

Yet, when Crockett uses tidbits of AAVE publicly speaking, you consider it all cutesy and delightful, when actually it is plain old in your face, code switching.

BTW, that’s hypocritical.

That was "people of color"'s dialect? Wow. You, attempting to replicate what you feel is the way people of color speak, is what is truly cringe worthy.

When have I ever characterized Crockett's speaking as cutesy and delightful (I don't know that I've used those adjectives to describe anything).

I don't find the natural speech of any particular person cringe worthy. You, imitating it in a derogatory way is cringe worthy.... and some might say racist.

Yes, that was an example of “Ebonics”, a term referencing African American Vernacular English (AAVE)! Would calling you a dumbass be appropriate here?

Since you have no clue of anything that occurred pre- Trump, the term was created in 1973 by a group of African American scholars!

I'm unimpressed by your extensive knowledge of irrelevant facts when talking about current events. Knowledge, by the way, which is accessible to anyone with internet access, so please don't try to represent yourself as some kind of wise historian.

If you think I'm a "dumbass" it doesn't mean much coming from you.

C’mon now, we all know one of the tenets of Ebonics is calling people “mastah” and referring to one’s home as a “crib”.

JK - I like when this one or Wally tolls the bell of pure ignorance and are too backward to see where they got off the path of normal behavior.

When they see Trump in his never-was-smart, increasingly dementia-riddled, ignorant and disengaged, they say “wow! He gets me! There’s someone I can get behind!”

Best to treat them like the rest of the world - occasionally just go “yeah” or “sure thing” and then ignore them and do what you want because time has left them on the shoulder of the highway called Progress.

Dearest rock in a box,

Definition and context:

Crib: in rap lyrics primarily means a home or living space, usually implying status, wealth, or personal style. Usage and connotations:

Basic meaning: house, apartment, mansion, pad. Example: “kickin’ it at my crib” = hanging out at my place.

Status marker: often signals wealth or success (e.g., “crib” used for elaborate houses or luxury residences).
Variants and slang nuance:

“The crib” — one’s primary residence.

“Cribbage” or playful forms appear but still reference living space.
In some contexts it can mean a place to crash temporarily (guest space) or a base of operations.

Origins: African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and broader hip-hop slang dating to the late 20th century; popularized by rappers and urban culture.

Related uses (less common): a “crib” can metaphorically mean a refuge or creative space; outside rap, “crib” also means a baby’s bed (crib), or a cheat sheet (to crib), but those senses are distinct and context-dependent.

I grew up after Civil Rights were established.

I grew up listening to what the scared & ignorant called gangsta rap.

I’ve had black teammates, classmates and co-workers.

Not one of them has ever uttered the moronic see-and-say vernacular that lives in your brain.

Unpack this for us, as these are words you wrote:

“I'm good wit' Trump, ain't no boot outside my crib. He's been droppin' it like a boss for my peeps, showin' some love, you feel me? You, on the other hand, got me rollin' anywhere from a vagabond, treatin' me like a guinea pig, ya dig?”
