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

[Concerned American]

Oh, okay. So there’s an extra step. Declare a foreigner to be a terrorist, then you can kill them.

My bad. Forgot that step.

Same difference.

Was there a break in your supply?

 

[martybegan]

Congress passed a law that says the president can kill any foreigner if he just happens to decide they’re part of a terrorist organization?

There’s ZERO accountability here.

They passed laws detailing what is a terrorist organization and who are unlawful combatants. the 2nd is also covered under international law.

You went from bitching about murder to whining about accountability. Nice goal post moving there, ****-o.

 

[justoffal]

You’re just making shit up. Nowhere does SCOTUS say any of this shit in their decision.

It’s murder.

Meh....Not in international waters it isn't....
There's a jurisdiction problem there.
Additionally you can't guarantee that it's not covered as a military action which is exempt from examination by civilian law....

You may not like what's happening but it is protected.

 

[justoffal]

If it isn't murder, then what is it? Trump killed these people in an overt, intentional and premeditated manner.

Looks like murder to me.

People do get dead in military strikes.
If you can prove that they are not drug runners maybe you'd have a point. You're assuming that the administration has no proof and that's a foolish assumption to make.

Just like everything else, you think whatever Trump says is true.

If he says they’re terrorists, they’re terrorists.

There’s nothing anyone can do about it.

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

 

[SurferH2O]

Democrats siding with drug cartels over American citizens... it never stops with those turds.

Those boats are monitored from load to explosion. We know exactly who we are hitting and it's saving American lives.

 

[Marener]

You talk about proof as if there’s anything a court can do about it.

It’s meaningless.

He declared them as such, it's one of the powers he has as President.

Once more with the argumentum ad absurdum.

 

[Marener]

He declared them as such, it's one of the powers he has as President.

Once more with the argumentum ad absurdum.

And whatever Trump says is truth. There’s no second guessing him.

So Congress can make any stipulations they want, but if no one can second guess whether they fit the criteria, then it’s irrelevant.

Trump can declare anyone he wants to be a terrorist.

They can impeach him or change the laws if they don't like it.

Actually the laws have rules and conditions that allow them to be declared a terrorist.

But this isn't about that as usual, this is about your TDS that requires you to side with drug cartels.

 

[Frankenstein]

Jurisdiction would be a hard sell since we’re commiting an act of war without having declared war.

International waters

Change the laws? They don’t apply to the president anyway.

The president can get away with literal murder.

 

[martybegan]

Actually they do. All of Trump's EO's are based on laws passed by Congress.

You keep saying those trope SJW things like just saying them makes them real.

the law is meaningless if Trump is willing to abuse it and no one is allowed to second guess him.

Your opinion is meaningless when it's obvious SJW rote trope tripe.

If Trump says someone is a terrorist and what’s to blow them up, he can. Right?

 

[martybegan]

If Trump says someone is a terrorist and what’s to blow them up, he can. Right?

If the person is a terrorist and unlawful combatant as per the law which was passed by congress, he sure as hell can.

The most recent previous Presidents have all done this. Evidently, it's only a problem when Trump does it.

 

[TimFitz]

Those boats are under surveillance all the time. They know what's being loaded, and who's loading them.

You made that up.

 

[Marener]

If the person is a terrorist and unlawful combatant as per the law which was passed by congress, he sure as hell can.

The most recent previous Presidents have all done this. Evidently, it's only a problem when Trump does it.

And how do we know if this person actually is a terrorist “per the law”.

 

[TimFitz]

If the person is a terrorist and unlawful combatant as per the law which was passed by congress, he sure as hell can.

The most recent previous Presidents have all done this. Evidently, it's only a problem when Trump does it.

Congress passed no law authorizing the President to launch random attacks against “alleged” terrorists.

This has nothing to do with law enforcement or fighting drugs.

It’s all for the Fox noise cameras.

And the suckers are rising to the bait.

It isn’t as if Trump’s henchmen have offered a single t piece of evidence to support their claims.
