And here you go..... The difference between a first strike and a second strike is really no difference at all.

[dblack]

The "leak" of this strike was deliberate. Fear and anger are Trump's bread and butter.

Gee, I thought the intention was to stop drug flow into the US..... now it’s to kill people?

MAGA bloodlust knows no bounds.

No, no, the intention is to pardon drug kings for $, like the one he pardoned last week from Honduras or wherever it was.

 

[martybegan]

Again, not even remotely true. For one thing, you have to take the drug on your own. For another thing, when you take the drug, the guy next to you doesn’t die. ISIS kills defenseless people at random.

Before the blob took the escalator trip downto make the announcement...did you ever imagine you would end up making such bat-shit crazy statements as you have made on this thread alone?

You’re now equating drug pushers to terrorists. Just give that some thought for a moment. If you’re still capable.

LOL...

No, just families destroyed, crime increased and government resources drained.

What was being done wasn't working. Trump is trying something different, within the law, and I approve of it.

The intention is chaos and fear. If something like this isn't in the headlines, Trump will do something else to keep the shit stirred up and stinky. All hail the swamp.

Of course you do. MAGA bloodlust knows no boundaries; legal or otherwise as is the case here.

Says the guy who cheered on Kirk's shooting for having "bad" opinions.

Just remember--- these guys in these boats--- they are just like Charlie Kirk--- they asked for it.

The drugs do not transport themselves

Like the man said, the only good drug smuggler is a dead drug smuggler

Those guys now know drug smuggling has lethal consequences.

All on them, none on us.

 

[Mac-7]

Paul is a libertarian an isolationist. Its legal moral and correct to kill drug dealers shipping drugs into America and the proceeds are used to fund Islamic terror.

Rand Pail has been an open borders advocate in the past

And probably pro illegal drugs too

 

[dblack]

Of course you do. MAGA bloodlust knows no boundaries; legal or otherwise as is the case here.

I do believe some people harbor an inner thrill at seeing authoritarian government lashing out, "kicking ass and taking names" - the way they want to, but can't because they're milquetoast pussies.

Trump isn't doing anything different or new. He's doing the exact same thing every POTUS before him has done, enforcing absurd impractical, illegal and futile government policies.

 

[g5000]

I kind of predicted this.... If the entire activity is illegal which is a ludicrous claim in the first place.... then what difference does it make whether one strike or two strikes causes any lethality?

Um...retard?

Stipulating the first strike was legal, it is a literal war crime to murder survivors. It is one of the solid rules of the high seas.

EVERYONE knows this.

Those drugs in those boats aren't getting into the US.

Nothing futile about that.

EVERYONE forgets when it's their bastard calling the shots.

 

[justoffal]

And the drugs delivered by these guys kills people just the same.

They are considered terrorists as per Trump's declaration in line with US law.

Um...retard?

Um double retard.... go back and read the top post. Rand Paul says it's all illegal so I don't see the difference between making a fuss over a second strike or a first strike. It's all going to hinge on whether or not the president has a right to call them enemy combatants and of course he does. Scotus is not going to take that power away from the president. Has nothing to do with trump it has to do with the office of the presidency.

It's totally inconsistent to make a stink about a double tap when you're claiming that the first tap is also illegal. You're not going to be able to separate the two events.

I tend to agree. Our system requires that we prove they are smuggling drugs before we kill them though. I guess you’re not a big fan of the constitution.

The big picture, documented over many decades by many people and facts, is way too complex for your simple mind to grasp.

The US Constitution doesn't apply in international waters unless you are on a US flagged vessel.

There is plenty of proof they are drug smugglers, you guys just don't want to admit it.

I deal in reality, not ivory tower theory and "big picture" bullshit.

So did the Sacklers who created the fentanyl crisis.

I don't see Trump bombing their house. He just gave them a fine, like he always got when he broke the law.

Billionaires look out for each other.

They are considered terrorists as per Trump's declaration in line with US law.

Nope.

Show me the congressional authorization for military force. Show me the named organizations in that authorization.
