Why was the drug smuggling Honduran ex-president pardoned? Probably the rise of techno-feudalism and the corporate city state of PROSPERA, within the Honduran borders, and it was probably done at the support of Trump’s billionaire tech oligarch associates.

MORE POLITICS- Pardoning the former Honduran President, the Tech bro oligarchy, and a place called "Prospera."
Supporting Corporate tech-feudalism may be the motive.

I learned some very, very dark and terrible things from The Skeptical Inquirer, seriously, how they shape my response to the Epstein Sex Crime and Blackmail Ring, and a ranty round up of American politics. Check it out. Be the envy of all your friends.

These are Republicans. Is Donald Trump a Republican, because he clearly doesn’t look or act like them? Has Donald Trump ever been a Republican? If not, why did Republican voters elect him? How the Republican Party became dysfunctional and an outsider took it over.
