Now that you have unloaded all your half-truth, half-baked Democrat talking points, you may address the post you responded to, and the substance in Post # 162 (first paragraph), unless you are too clueless about it to do so.

Also, at least some of your half baked talking points are FALSE.
Examples >
1. "ordering the murder of non-combatants in international waters"
Drug runners in any warers are enemy combatants able to be killed

As I already mentioned, I read your post, # 162, and rejected its premise for the reasons already given.

Venezuelan Boat Attacks: Utterly Unprecedented and Patently Predictable​

Venezuelan Boat Attacks: Utterly Unprecedented and Patently Predictable

The unlawful policies and practices of the previous post-9/11 administrations laid the foundation for the Trump administration’s current legal overreach.

The Situation: I Never Signed Up for This Kind of Targeted Killing​

The Situation: I Never Signed Up for This Kind of Targeted Killing

And it’s a profoundly dangerous power for any president to have

A mistake played a major role in unraveling the Trump administration’s legally dubious efforts to ignore due process and send undocumented migrants to a brutal El Salvador prison. Specifically: the wrongful deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Could it now be happening with another legally dubious and highly punitive Trump effort in Latin America?

We learned last week that one of the most recent Trump administration strikes on an alleged drug-carrying submarine in the Caribbean failed to kill two of the people aboard.

The situation has now cast a spotlight on the holes in the administration’s justifications for the strikes, which were already suspect. But now the dilemma over what to do with the survivors has crystallized that fact and injected the situation with new urgency.

These extra legal killings remind me of when the OLC's John Yoo, during Shrub's admin, decided it was legal to torture detainees, essentially for the sake of expediency. The trump regime has offered no legitimate legal rationale for the killings nor any evidence the deceased were involved in drug smuggling.

BTW, if you want to continue conversing drop the vitriol. It makes you look like a punk.

You ae the one who is too lazy to post words and state your case. Strike 2.
So far, it looks like you have no case.

US releasing survivors of strike on suspected drug vessel to their home countries​

Thursday’s strike was the sixth known strike on a boat allegedly involved in drug trafficking. It came as the US has deployed scores of military assets to the Caribbean as it promises further strikes on alleged drug boats, part of the administration’s effort to drive down drug flow into the US and pressure Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela’s authoritarian president.

The situation was potentially going to set up a legal and policy dilemma for the administration because it was unclear under what legal authority the US military can hold the prisoners, Brian Finucane, a former State Department lawyer who specializes in war powers issues, previously told CNN.

There would be no dilemma if they were actual enemy combatants.

Archived from the original on July 14, 2024. Retrieved July 15, 2024. So far, investigators haven't found any evidence on social media or other writings by Crooks that might help identify his motive for the attempted assassination, law enforcement officials say... And a review of public records suggests he may have had divergent political leanings, with Crooks registering to vote as a Republican but making a small donation to a Democratic-leaning group.

Authorities are still investigating his motives, but Ryan Routhe's online presence shows shifting political views and frustrations. In a rambling, self-published 2023 book, Ukraine's Unwinnable War, he voiced strong support for the Ukrainian fight against Russia, urged Iran to assassinate Trump, calling the former president a "fool" and a "buffoon," and criticizing his role in the January 6 Capitol riot and the Iran nuclear deal withdrawal.

In the same book, Routh described himself as politically unaffiliated. As of 2012, Routh was registered as "unaffiliated" in North Carolina and voted in the state Democratic primary earlier this year, voter registration records show. Routh has donated exclusively to Democratic causes, making 19 donations through ActBlue over the past five years, totaling $140. His contributions ranged from $1 to $25.

There is no dilemma. Unlike you, I dont accept Brian Finucane as a credible source. Yeah, I know what he said. I know exactly what he said, He's wrong. Here's what he also said >> “Given that there is no armed conflict, there is no basis to hold these survivors as law of war detainees.”

What an absurd statement - of course there is an armed conflict. The war on drugs and the drug runners has been going on for years, with the cartels using all sorts of miltary equipment.

In addition, President Trump has designated several drug cartels and criminal organizations as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs), to address their violent activities and drug trafficking, which pose a national security threat to the United States. This designation allows for increased law enforcement powers and sanctions against these groups

Nope. Pretty much everything you pointed to shows that they were not politically active they were just sad, depressed, unbalanced, lonely mostly young men. It is a fact they were raised in MAGA households with MAGA values and embraced a gun culture. These were gun culture murders not political murders. There were no politics connected by any of them. Raise your people better.

trump, and you apparently, seems to think he possesses unilateral powers under Article 2 that he does not possess. Waving a magic wand does not make extra legal killings legal.

AI Overview

No, a U.S. president cannot unilaterally designate a domestic terrorist group due to a lack of legal authority under federal law. The legal authority to designate terrorist groups is limited to foreign entities and involves a formal process managed by the Secretary of State.

Moreover, the obama admin made it clear that yes the president can conduct extrajudicial
killings of Americans, so long as the president or other upper level members of his admin deems the American a threat

They all grew up in good families but sadly were radicalized by the left and took orders to take out Trump

You let a machine tell you how to think ? Bad. Bad.

And you also say that how a US president conducts foreign policy is supposed to be determined by FOREIGN ENTITIES ? Are you nuts ?

But then again, if you are a full-blown internationalist, globalist leftist, you would have no national allegiance, and would instead, submit to dictates emanating from God knows where, around the world.
This is how sick a minority of people in this country have become.

This reminds me of the speech in Germany, in In 2012, when Obama the GLOBALIST, proclaimed himself to be "a citizen of the world".

He got sharply contradicted and chewed out, by conservative presidential candidate Virgil Goode, who said "You're supposed to be a citizen of the United States, and as a US president, representing the American people, not the world."
