I don't know, this help?

They're pedaling death.

It's a constant battle.....time for a shot across the bow.

Read my note above. Why are you guys always ok with Trump taking the shortcut?

You didn’t answer my question on what if the boat captain or his crew were not willing participants. You have no idea the situation there. You are willing to kill human lives on a whim but shit bricks if someone wants to end the development of an embryo early. What the ****? Do lives matter to you or not?

I've supported this level of action way before Trump showed up.

Cartel mules. They knew the risks.

There is literally nothing Trump can do to his base. He was right as rain saying he could shoot someone on 5th avenue and not lose a vote. They literally question nothing.

• Submits largest deficit budget in history
• Nationalizes companies buying them with Federal money
• Missile attacks against non-combatants
• Uses US troops against US citizens

If Obama did any of that this place would be unhinged.

You dont know they weren’t forced. You are just hoping/wishing. No satellite image can tell you the boat captain deserved death. We are talking about justice. How is there justice here?

Collateral damage... precedent.

This is a perfect example guys of what I have been talking about for weeks now. The right wing has no grounded belief system. It’s not based on justice or the constitution or even faith. Every single position they take falls into one of 2 categories: 1. Is the victim from a group I hate? 2. Does Donald Trump support it? There is nothing else. Zero. Nothing.

It's given you a new purpose in your life.

Fighting fascism should be every American’s purpose.

 

[Lesh]

So, what is your solution? Do you want drugs out of the US and its cities or not? Taking out production facilities and disrupting supply routes is a great step.

Is there a possibility of innocent casualties? Yes. Will you people from the Left side and otherwise getTrump side try and disrupt its success? Yes..

Use the ******* Cosst Guard stupid

That’s literally their job

 

[TimFitz]

If he can't provoke race riots in American cities, try blowing up a few alleged drug dealers'

Of course, if they happen to blow up a couple of retirees on a chartered trawler, so what? The Trumpsters will have a convoluded excuse for that,too.

Meanwhile, the Epstein case hangs over his head.

He failed in Alaska with Putin, who punked him totally.

Putin is now reviewing troops in China at the parade Trump wanted but didn't actually get.

And the world is settling in to ignoring the US President and the country he represents.

BTW, drug intradiction in these waters has been going on for decades.

You missed the boat on that one.

You haven't been further from the truth.

I don't do hate, not even with you.

I don't necessarily support everything Trump says or does and a lot of His supporters agree.

Your continued rants reveal your hatred for everything from the right.

Get help.

The Coast Guard has been doing this work for decades.

What about Trump do you not support?

His hiding from the Epstein files?

Looking like someone is doing something about it.

You’re justifying blowing up an innocent boat crew when there are other options. Basically you are good with the government deciding who lives or who dies. I guess you should just hope that the person deciding that is someone you will always agree with. Like I said. No belief system.

[Bootstraps]

We’ll see, but the sheeple have been distracted.

We'll see? Then why make such a declaration in the first place if it didn't? Seems rather dishonest. You're not dishonest are you?

 

[Delldude]

Once away from the Venezuelan coast, they had options to dump and flee, possibly ask for asylum.
Looks like they chose door number two.

Basically you are good with the government deciding who lives or who die

That happens daily. Nothing you or I can do to influence that

I guess you should just hope that the person deciding that is someone you will always agree with.

Second time you missed the 'boat'.

 

[BackAgain]

Given the vessel was totally destroyed there's no evidence that a crime was underway nor evidence that anyone on the vessel was breaking any laws. Furthermore no maritime laws in effect there carry a death penalty, this was a criminal act based on everything I've read about it.

The magat regime seeks to overthrow Venezuela's government and install a proxy, trump once complained about far milder forms of this as "election interference" FYI.

Wrong. As usual. That you lack the ability to review the evidence doesn’t mean that there is no evidence.

And many of us have seen military videos (largely, as I recall, from our Coast Guard) in which drug runners with plenty of drugs tried to deny commands to come to a stop and get boarded. Instead, they chose to try to escape with their high speed crafts. Oops.

They must have forgotten that bullets are faster than their boats.

If you really want to make the claim that what President Trump ordered was a supposedly “criminal” act, you can’t do so by merely invoking the phrase, “maritime law.”

Be specific. Cite the applicable law and section, etc. and assemble all the then existing facts (not substituting your own jaundiced speculation).

Otherwise, in the vernacular, your lips are just flapping and nothing more.

This is not that.

In coordination with the US Navy dickhead.

A U.S. Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachment (LEDET), embarked aboard the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Sampson (DDG 102), interdicted a suspected drug smuggling vessel and seized approximately 1,296 pounds of cocaine in international waters Aug. 11.
