Very telling that L’agent Orange wasn’t invited

If this is anywhere near the truth then Trump would have been yelling it from the White House rooftop. Release the files and instead of redacting Trump’s name black out the victims.

Karma is a bitch....

Was having flashbacks to a minor league game I attended about 50 years ago. Freak accident where the right fielder dove for a short fly and collided with the second baseman. The kid's head hit the second baseman's knee (he was wearing a brace). Ironically the infielder, a organizational player, had signed the kid to his first pro contract

The Tiffany Network is now just fake jewelry with bad rhinestones

I trust people who actually know the law than some schlub on the internet or a talk show host with no qualifications to be Sec of War Corn, a law professor at Texas Tech University, noted that critics have condemned U.S. drone strikes since 2001 against militants in Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries as extrajudicial killings, but those strikes were legitimate, he said, because the U.S. was engaged in an armed conflict under the laws of war against al Qaeda and other terrorist groups. Brian Finucane, a former State Department lawyer who is now at the International Crisis Group, said that designation of drug cartels as terrorist groups doesn’t authorize the use of military force against them. Rather it enables the U.S. to levy sanctions and pursue criminal prosecutions against individuals who support the groups. Nor can military action be justified under the law Congress passed authorizing the use of force against al Qaeda and related terrorist groups following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, experts said. For the military to use force, “there needs to be a legitimate claim of self-defense in international waters, an action that is necessary and proportional in response to an armed attack or imminent armed attack,” said Juan Gonzalez, who served as the National Security Council’s senior director for Western Hemisphere affairs during the Biden administration. “That clearly didn’t happen.”

I will type this very slowly so maybe you will understand. What was done was done illegally under International Law. The drug lords, if that was actually on the boat, are not at war with the US. The most expedient thing to do was to keep track of the vessel, and when it came into US waters have the Coast Guard board it, seize the contents and arrest everyone on the ship. In essence we stopped one shipload of drugs, killed a bunch of people.Big Deal. It's why we're losing the War on Drugs because of shortsightedness by people like you. But the bottom line is that was only one shipment. Go after the head of the snake, not the tail. This action only made the Drug Lords more determined.

Maybe if G Man could point out where in US or International Law the President has the sole authority to fire on a vessel in international waters without presenting proof. 1) Last I checked drug smuggling is not a capital crime. 2) Only Congress has the power to declare war Beside the fact it was outside International Law. I’s like using a shotgun to kill a gnat Trump will never get to heaven that way and I pray his apologists don’t either

Now do Fox and OAN

One question was anyone who was involved in the hiring of these individuals charged with anything. And why not?

Good for the NRA for coming out with this

This goes back to 2019

September 5 https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/september-5 During the 1972 Summer Olympics at Munich, in the early morning of September 5, a group of Palestinian terrorists storms the Olympic Village apartment of the Israeli athletes, killing two and taking nine others hostage. The terrorists were part of a group known as Black September, in return for the release of the hostages, they demanded that Israel release over 230 Arab prisoners being held in Israeli jails and two German terrorists. In an ensuing shootout at the Munich airport, the nine Israeli hostages were killed along with five terrorists and one West German policeman. Olympic competition was suspended for 24 hours to hold memorial services for the slain athletes.

In Virginia CVS requires a prescription

I wouldn't say awful, just short sighted. Much like the current administration.

Why go after the low lying fruit. They are expendable, I get it. However it's just theatre. Sinking the boat stops one small shipment. Why not seize the boat and go after the big money cartels and chop off the head. This move by Trump did absolutely nothing in the scheme of things.

Or Cubs, White Sox, Dodgers, pick a fan base. All these out of work arm chair GMs

Meanwhile the real criminals (Big money behind the "drug operations" get off scott free) Just another illusion from the Trump Cartel

I had to laugh...

Anybody find it curious that as Florida works to end vaccine mandates for children they still require all licensed dogs get rabies vaccine. That tells you a lot about these folks Just an aside. Every dog boarding/day care facility I've been to in the past 20 years requires a whole series of shots.

Don't you think possible he left the initial decision to Paddock? We're talking grown men here
