Trump administration 2024-2028

Returning the survivors of the latest strike is really making it seem like it might have very well been a random boat (which also brings into question of the validity of the other strikes), and not of the criminal variety.

There is no validity to what he is doing. Even if they are drug trafficking there is no right to shoot them dead randomly in international waters. That is called murder.

Hah! He did, too. I just went to check against the original and he deleted it and reposted it corrected.


The most recent video I saw was consistent with a smuggling submersible, FWIW.

That said, from the moment this started I don’t think I was the o my one who said they’re inevitably gonna screw something up and smoke some innocent civilians. If it hasn’t happened yet, and if this continues, they will.

Drug dealers are going to force a family with kids onto a boat and leak that it is full of drugs and high level dudes. They will make sure a rescue boat is nearby to film the bodies of kids.

Are we angry because international law is being broken and people died without a fair trial? Or are we angry because it's trump doing it?

There's a lot of dead civilians at US and allies hands who were collateral damage.

On August 29, 2021 the US dropped a hellfire into a residential compound in Kabul they "suspected" of being the mastermind behind the airport attack that cost 13 US service membere lives. Their intelligence was shoddy at best.

On the 17th of September the Pentagon admitted the people killed had nothing to do with ISIS or the bombing. They killed 3 innocent adults and 7 children.

The US government was under pressure to get revenge quickly for the 13 dead service members and ended up smoking a bunch of kids. I don't recall a lot of outrage over that one.

Playing fast and loose with 'habeus corpus' can have unintended consequences...

Trump's Homeland Security Advisor Is Going Viral For Claiming The White House Is "Actively Looking" Into Suspending "Habeas Corpus"

"Reinterpreting the Constitution on a whim in an effort to grant authoritarian powers is unpatriotic and un-American."

Playing fast and loose with 'habeus corpus' can have unintended consequences...

Bad idea. The only possible good would be to settle a couple of legal questions: whether the executive has the power to suspend it at all, and what exactly "invasion" means as a pretext.

The arrow of time is replete with decision points at which "playing fast and loose with X can have unintended consequences" went unheeded. I wonder if anyone protesting will take on board the meta-lesson.
