In an effort to fight the spread of misinformation, Trump didn’t bankrupt a casino.

He actually bankrupted 5 casinos, one of them twice.

Interesting. Adam Boehler & President Juan Orlando Hernandez announced the DFC would back a $1B private investment in Honduras in July 2020. Boehler, who is close w Kushner, did a few squirrelly deals in 2020.
I suspect the ultimate reason for the pardon is related to Adam Boehler's work during the first term, which might have been what the feds were investigating Bukele for re: diverted aid.

Ed Martin is Trump’s pardon attorney. He is close with Roger Stone who previously recommended that Trump pardon Honduran ex-president Juan Orlando Hernandez to facilitate Prospera, a “Tech Bro” colony & aspiring “network state” in Honduras. ⬇️

Former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández—pardoned by Trump while the counting in Honduras’ current presidential election is still in progress—-was accused not only of drug trafficking, but also of election fraud during the 2013 and 2017 Honduran presidential elections. 1/

“‘With respect to the strikes in question on Sept. 2, Secretary Hegseth authorized Adm. Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes,’ Leavitt said.”
“Leavitt told reporters at the White House press briefing that Hegseth authorized Adm. Frank Bradley to carry out the second strike, which reportedly killed two people who were hanging onto the burning vessel after an initial strike.” Wow. 12/1/25 thehill.com/homenews/562...

Roger Stone on 1/24/25: “A well-timed pardon of former [Honduran] President Hernandez…cld be the final death blow to Castro w/ national elections set to take place later this year. Castro’s regime cld be upended” in a major “victory for…Próspera” (the network state project backed by Peter Thiel) 1/

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

Wilhoit's Law...

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Elections have consequences.

Today's Republicans abhor consequences for themselves, and remain oblivious to the source of their ills.

Wilhoit's Law remains valid.

In August, Alt5 Sigma announced Eric Trump was joining the board. Two weeks later, it announced he wasn't which was around the same time the auditor secretly resigned. Expect to read more stories like this one.
Scoop: They tried to bury this news on Black Friday, but, well...

Trump crypto partner Alt5 Sigma told the SEC its auditor quit in Nov.

We called the auditor.

He resigned in August.

That's the second SEC filing with an apparent conflict that Alt5 Sigma has made in recent weeks.

The Trump administration believes that the rich and powerful should be pardoned for their crimes, even after judges and juries determined their guilt.

But if you’re a non-white guy in a fishing boat, there’s no need for a trial or even an arrest. Murder from above, no questions asked.
When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not
