Great Betty Bowers' Bluesky post today

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up.

But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

The ones that will bow to Orangina get pardons and freedom.

From Google:
In December 2025, President Trump granted a full pardon to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who had been convicted in a U.S. court for large-scale drug trafficking and weapons offenses. Hernández had been sentenced to 45 years in federal prison in June 2024 for conspiring to import hundreds of tons of cocaine into the U.S.

Mrs. Betty Bowers @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social‬

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela,
but not enough to run our own country?

There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people,
but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

It's the Monroe Doctrine (singular). It bars European powers from aggression in the Americas; it does not give the US that right. And Donald has no idea what the Monroe Doctrine is.

Time to trot out the cartoons of the giraffe and camel again.
