Paul Krugman notes the bizarre juxtaposition of the Trump administration sinking small boats while claiming with no evidence that they're smuggling drugs, and at the same time Trump declaring his intention to grant “a Full and Complete Pardon” to Juan Orlando Hernández, a former president of Honduras who has been convicted of conspiring to import cocaine into the United States.

Trump: Pro-crypto or Pro-crime?

Or are they the same thing?

"But there is a pattern to this murderous madness, once one connects the dots between Trump’s mob-boss persona and the billionaire crypto/tech broligarchy. ...

Why would Trump, whose poll numbers are cratering, generate even more negative headlines by pardoning Hernández, who was duly convicted of conspiring to send more than 400 tons (!) of cocaine to America?"

"The answer is the influence of the crypto/tech broligarchy. In fact, many of Trump’s pardons of the most egregious criminals are closely linked to their influence. ….

Whatever libertarians were in the past, they are now an extremist party, opposed to laws against drug smuggling, money laundering, any type of prudential government regulation, and – in the case of Thiel – opposed to democracy itself."

"It should not go unnoticed that Trump saluted a party that proclaims 'Become Ungovernable' as its guiding principle, written with the anarchy a-symbol."

"World-Eaters. Cannibals. Parasites.

All suitable synonyms for the Wall Street vultures, insecure, racist Silicon Valley bros, and Trump’s broligarch friends who are drinking all of our milkshakes as veterans and government employees line up at food pantries because they can’t afford groceries."

The Venture Capitalist Cannibals Destroying Our Economy

The broligarchy is reckless, dangerous and unethical, with billionaires using their wealth to dismantle democracy & railroad economic justice, however there's a path for the majority to demand reform.

"Curtis Yarvin, where democracy is incompatible with capitalism. And now Peter Thiel, with all of his money, has groomed J.D. Vance, who agrees with it. And now you have Mark Andresine and Mark Zuckerberg and all all these folks, Elon Musk, just openly going full authoritarian and in some cases with Musk and others going full fascist and flirting with Nazis."
