“No War on Drugs. Just War for Oil.” 🛢️💸
Midnight strikes. Missiles fly.

It will be press and media malfeasance if they don’t ask Trump and friends why the President of Honduras got a pardon for drug trafficking while we literally invade a sovereign nation to arrest a President for supposedly drug trafficking.
