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

A few minutes ago, they were...



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?

There's a reason they use speed boats..
But yes I would much prefer interception and inspection. Then arrest if necessary.
I Think the coast guard has high speed interceptors that are air gliders.
Capture might be logistically more difficult but aesthetically it is of course much better.

He didn’t target the kid. The citizen was a iiimember of al qaeda, so yes he did have approval.

The same approval Trump is using to blow up these boats. That’s the problem with operating this way. The President can just name X group as a terrorist org and voila let the killing begin. Can’t be ok with one and not the other.

Another stupid false equivalence.

Yeah targeting and killing a US citizen is far worse.

By the way. If I accidentally kill your kid you’d be ok with that?

You can stop this dishonest garbage. That US Citizen was a member of ISIS. Trump has declared something as terrorist with no evidence.

So after nearly five years of claiming that trespassing is a capital crime in the case of Ashlii Babbitt, you are shedding crocodile tears for Venezuelan drug runners that are targeting Americans. Scum.

So why do you think Trump just blows them out of the water if it isn’t to appeal to his base who seem to love this sort of thing?

 

[Bootstraps]

You support Trump and you ask this?

I support Trump? When did that start? Another accusation made by you that you can't back up.

Really?

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?

 

[Bootstraps]

Really?

Yeah, really.

 

[IM2]

Yeah, really.

When you said what you did about Hines you showed yourself. Hines is no extremist, and you along with the idiot OP took what was said out of context, then you decided t run your mouth about Democrats, even though we're looking at a Republican president violating international law. So you can whine all you want, but if you ain't right wing don't sound like right wing.

So he didn't say AOC would someday be president?

 

[scruffy]

Ha! It absolutely was not the SC case.

Trump has total immunity for anything solely under their executive authority, such as commanding the US military.

Even after impeachment, he can’t be prosecuted for ordering the military to murder people.

The Republican Party now had the ability to kill anyone. That’s what SCOTUS did for us.

lmao

You guys are totally, completely, full of shit.

You are really truly DANGEROUSLY stupid.

 

[scruffy]

So you’re saying the president has the authority to kill any foreigner he wants?

Pretty sure that’s still murder.

Stupid leftard.

By your definition every president in history has committed murder.

Libtards are very damn stupid.

 

[scruffy]

The whole point is that Trump can literally murder people without any accountability. This is why we call you guys fascists.

Obama did the same thing, bleeding heart shit for brains leftard.

If you met a real fascist you'd put your tail between your legs and scamper.

 

[scruffy]

Complex issue, no one has the answer as both sides are guilty.

But this time the other side is dead.

 

[IM2]

So he didn't say AOC would someday be president?

No, he didn't. He used AOC s an example to make a point about the possibility of what a Democratic president could do in the future.. Man, you guys are dishonest.

 

[Bootstraps]

No, he didn't. He used AOC s an example to make a point about the possibility of what a Democratic president could do in the future.. Man, you guys are dishonest.

So he said it then. Okay. Example or not, he said it. Talk about dishonest. That's rich coming from the race baiter and someone who keeps making false accusations against people.

 

[justoffal]

Salsa.. extra spicy.

Lol

 

[Marener]

By the way. If I accidentally kill your kid you’d be ok with that?

I understand that happens in active war zones.

Trump got Al Awlaki’s 8 year old daughter killed on a raid in Yemen, but no one talks about that.

 

[Correll]

False dichotomy.

There’s another option.

No, there's not. There is MAGA, which is what we are doing now, and the other choice, AS DEMONSTRATED BY EVERYONE BEFORE US for decades now, is just to let them in.
