    Hey Maduro, you are one Caracas Trump Tower away from a lasting peace with the United States of Trump. That or buy some Trump Crypto. You know the drill.

    So (started sentence the way @basso likes it.)Trump has no power to close air space. He pardoned a guy connected with drug running, but is attacking Venezuela supposedly because of drug running.

    Not "connected with drug running"...Federally indicted and convicted of smuggling 400+ tons of cocaine into the USA. Pardoned by Trump.

    Also, in May he granted clemency to Larry Hoover, who was serving multiple life sentences in federal prison for crimes linked to his role leading the Chicago-based Gangster Disciples.

    Ron Safer, a former U.S. attorney in Chicago who helped prosecute members of the Gangster Disciples during the 1990s, said he was shocked and dismayed by Trump's decision to commute Hoover's sentence.

    He pointed out that Hoover's gang was one of the largest and most violent drug syndicates in the U.S., operating in 35 states according to the U.S Justice Department. Hoover himself was convicted of state and federal charges including murder and use of a firearm while trafficking drugs.

    "Larry Hoover was the head of perhaps the most pernicious, efficient drug operation in the United States," Safer said. "They sold over $100 million of drugs a year in the city of Chicago alone. They were responsible for countless murders. They supported their drug territories with ruthless violence."
