Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Further proof they know those are just fishermen
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.
Someone in the Hernández drug cartel paid trump, obviously
Those fishermen have not paid the piper.
You gotta pay the troll toll to get into the USAhole
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.
Doubt it, sadly.
I guess he likes his blow with his child hookers
If they even hear about this it will be filed under abstract concepts they don't care about, like Honduras.

It’s just about the money. Once you realize that the more everything makes sense
Either Scarface has dirt on him or this is just more distraction and "flexing" of power.
I had to check the subtitle: yes, this person is in a US prison.
It wouldn't surprise me if Rump tried to pardon a corrupt ex-president in a different country.
He tried in Brazil
“This action would be nothing short of catastrophic and would destroy the credibility of the U.S. in the international community,”
LOL. That ship sailed long ago, on November 6, 2024, when Americans elected a child rapist as a President.

We're going to WAR with Venezula over Drug Trafficking!
I know very little about anything, but I'd bet Venezuela has oil or some other resource and the US is trying to goad them into doing something they can use to justify invasion
I'd bet Venezuela has oil
and win
All while MURDERING people over alleged drug smuggling
