Another drug running boat obliterated by our military on 10/14/2025.

Committing a crime is no excuse for murder.

If I run a stop sign, the officer writes me a ticket, he doesn't shoot me.
This wasn’t a stop sign….but we are in danger of derailing the thread.

Extrajudicial killings. On other thing about about these bombings that the right seems to adore…if they are indeed drug runners, these are low level people, not the big players. What are you gaining?
 
We have previously intercepted these boats, there is no need to bomb them.
Intercepting them takes a lot of time, risk and manpower. We can bomb them from high overhead with little time, risk or manpower.

This is a man that loves violence as long as he is directing it,
This is a man who loves good results.

We have done successfully over and over, and in the process been able to determine whether they drug runners or fisherman.

I think it is very dangerous to our humanity when it becomes too easy to kill at a distance far removed from the results of our actions.


This is a man who loves good results.
No. He just likes using using violence, whether it is to intimidate people exercising their First Amendment rights or murder presumed unindicted drug runners.
 
the military personnel carrying out the strikes have the Intel and they know what and why they are destroying the drug boats ..

You made that up. No evidence has ever been presented to back up Trump’s claims.

And why are we blowing people up instead of intradicting them, as we have done for decades?

Of course, we all know the real reason.

it’s “good tv” for the jingoistic Fox crowd.

If we have already done so successfully over and over, we wouldn't need to still be doing it. Bet people are a lot more reluctant now! And Trump already told you that they are able to determine without a doubt that these are drug boats.

I think it is very dangerous to our humanity when it becomes too easy to kill at a distance far removed from the results of our actions.
So I can put you down as one against ICBMs and one for a return to the sword and rapier?

No evidence has been presented to YOU
Why do you believe this proves there is no evidence?

Safer for our people.
 

One moment the six narcoterrorists were minding their own illegal business and one instant later they were blown to pieces.

If this keeps happening, pretty soon some of the narcoterrorists may start to consider this job they do as being just a bit too risky.
NPR keeps reporting "Trump offered no evidence" for his claim these were drug runners.
Only Republicans are required to provide evidence to satisfy leftwing new agencies. Democrats can claim whatever they want.

Dear NPR, If our government shares with you techniques they use for determining whether boats are drug runners, for you to announce to the world, the bad guys might find it out and change their MO.

that doesn't matter the rejects want the drug runners protected so leaking how it is done is what they are about. Look what happened when the pentagon said no more reporting leaks and demanded a signed agreement to that effect.
 
She was in the process of committing a crime as part of a violent mob that broke into the Capitol calling for the VP, Pelosi and others to be hung.

So no. No comparison. No moral equivalency

If you want an equivalency go back to Obama. When he did that in Afghanistan, I was pissed then for the same reasons.
Trespassing is not a capital crime. Also, summary execution is not due process. Try again.
 
Weird that they didn't capture the "enemy combatants", and instead just released them back into the wild in their home countries.
 

The issue of the legality of stopping these drug boats has come into question by many people and I concede that legally, it might not be the best thing to do. But as a practical person, I applaud the simplicity, directness, effectiveness of Trump's actions. In one fell swoop, he eliminated a problem completely with the absolute minimum investment in time, money, risk, and resources while sending a dire message to Venezuela to knock it off.

My biggest concern with what Trump did is what happened to all those drugs? Did they get blown out into the ocean or are they dissolving on the ocean floor impacting marine life? Of course, the intent of the law is to limit prosecutorial abuse in order to protect the innocent, but we all know that really translates into just more convolutions for litigators to play with in order to conceal criminal activity and to delay justice.

But I like Trump's Get 'Er Done attitude of taking the shortest and sweetest path to resolution until someone proves him wrong and forces him to otherwise change his MO. Unlike Biden and endless others, at least Trump is addressing the problem and getting measurable, real results instead of playing politics again.

You better not sneak into granny's kitchen stealing some of the family recipe homemade butter-rum fudge around Christmas time with that story, Buster! :smoke:

Also, summary execution is not due process. Try again.
Do not forget, Ashlee was not even armed, Ashlee had not damaged or broken down the door herself, Ashlee was in a PUBLIC government building ostensibly FOR the public, Ashlee made no threatening moves or actions against anyone, Officer Byrd had issued no prior warning before firing, and Byrd had a HISTORY of doing such off-the-wall half-cocked stuff with his service revolver.

Byrd was a repeat offender, a DEI hire, and Ashlee was only his latest victim due to the government putting DEI hires as more important to them than people's lives, and this continued coverup of Byrd while blaming Ashlee for her death is just more of the same ongoing defense of the whole DEI program.
 
If someone was bringing into your home pure poison by boat which would ruin your kids lives and eventually kill them in some dirty alley.... wouldn't you want to blow that boat up?.... I sure would...

Depends on which kids we are talking about . . . :smoke:
