Dem Rep. Jim Himes tells "MAGA" they better think twice about supporting strikes on drug traffickers because they "need to imagine who gets killed ...

[Zincwarrior]

I seriously doubt if China approves.... Those boats cost several hundred thousand dollars a piece and probably are being bought with Chinese money.

Now they can do it too. Maybe around Taiwan.

 

[westwall]

No, they prove nothing.

They prove you are losing the culture war. When you idiots side with the drug cartels, who are killing tens of thousands of Americans, the normal people pay attention.

And they are rejecting your bullshit.

So, by all means keep it up.

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

If a nation dusted a boat full of Americans on mere suspicion of illegal activity, you guys would be singing a different tune.

If those United States citizens were smuggling drugs into that country? Neh, ****'em. Blow'em out of the water.

See how that shit works?

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

Look up the AUMF.

You’re saying Trump can use the military to kill anyone, anytime.

Right?

Pirates don't rate protections under international law.

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

Sure... usually you have to prove that in court. But you guys don’t bother with the whole innoncent til proven guilty stuff, do you?

Those drug smugglers aren't United States citizens and they aren't in The United States. Hence, they aren't protected by the Constitution.

 

[kyzr]

You left out that requires a national emergency created by an attack on the U.S., its territories, or its armed forces.
Words have meanings. We are not under attack. The president is warping every act that says emergency and declaring EVERYTHING an emergency. It is an illegal act. It wont pass any legal test of an emergency just like the Tariffs wont.
I get you WANT him to do things you like. But you HAVE to do it lawfully. Have you read Lord of the Flies? Read it my friend. You’ll see.

100,000 dead a year and you say we are. not under attack? WRONG.

The courts always defer to the Executive for what are or are not emergencies. Its legal, no one will say otherwise.

It is LEGAL, you'll see.

 

[Thinker101]

We are the US and used to be bound by the constitution. How quickly we’ve shed ourselves of those shackles for a fat old guy.

Good one, next time you're in a foreign country tell them that.

 

[candycorn]

Yeah, next time you're in a foreign country and get caught doing something illegal, tell them you want due process....moron.

I’d likely get it but lets play your game.

You want to “Make America Great Again” by being like what you think other nations are...lawless????

You guys are rather dim.

 

[candycorn]

Research piracy laws.

Exactly...being in international waters doesn’t excuse possible crimes.

 

[candycorn]

There are no judges either in state or federal court systems that have jurisdiction over those particular geographic locations. In short none of them have any standing to bring any charges.
The international Court may have an angle.
But they won't get any cooperation from the US for prosecution or extradition.

In the meantime maybe you can come up with a pretty good reason why those votes would be violating maritime law and speeding through clandestine Waters heading undeveloped areas of the United States Coast.

Okay....

are these attacks happening in the US territorial waters or in International Waters?

 

[Concerned American]

Exactly...being in international waters doesn’t excuse possible crimes.

Including drug running. Thanks.

 

[candycorn]

If those United States citizens were smuggling drugs into that country? Neh, ****'em. Blow'em out of the water.

See how that shit works?

What if they were just suspected of running drugs and got sunk by a gunboat? Should we just accept the word of the foreign nation?

 

[candycorn]

Including drug running. Thanks.

If that is what they were doing.... thanks.

 

[justoffal]

Okay....

are these attacks happening in the US territorial waters or in International Waters?

Hundreds of miles? International most likely

 

[IM2]

We’ve been blowing people up for 2 decades and everyone was cool with it. President Obama targeted and killed a US citizen and not a peep. So no usually we don’t go through the courts

Another stupid false equivalence.

 

[justoffal]

What if they were just suspected of running drugs and got sunk by a gunboat? Should we just accept the word of the foreign nation?

Unchartered, unscheduled and aiming directly for the US coast....Try that with China.

 

[IM2]

Why is it that the democrats never put up anyone intelligent, capable, or qualified for the position? They just go for the most extreme people in their party that they can find and choose them to be the party candidate. Are there even any real democrats left in the party or have they all been chased off?

You support Trump and you ask this?

 

[candycorn]

Hundreds of miles? International most likely

A few minutes ago, they were...

speeding through clandestine Waters heading undeveloped areas of the United States Coast.

Now they’re “hundreds of miles” away?

Beyond all of this business about distance....are you seriously stating that we couldn’t just capture these guys instead of murdering them?

 

[justoffal]

They prove you are losing the culture war. When you idiots side with the drug cartels, who are killing tens of thousands of Americans, the normal people pay attention.

And they are rejecting your bullshit.

So, by all means keep it up.

The noise from DC is very likely subsided by Cartel money.....not just Dems either...

 

[candycorn]

Unchartered, unscheduled and aiming directly for the US coast....Try that with China.

So...you want to be like China?
