At what point does military action against civilian vessels in international waters become a crime ? Because let's face it, if he had proof they were carrying drugs he'd have paraded it in front of the cameras by now
If he times it wrong, the whole thing could come tumbling down around his ears - so that's probably what will happen. But beware a big false flag attack, i can feel one coming
They're no way he can justify that under his war in drugs rationale, no emergency powers rationale. So he doesn't have the authority to impose it, although obviously that won't stop him.
Anyone remember Reform promising to go into their new councils with DOGE-style units to slash “waste” and stop taxes from rising? Yeah, it went exactly as you’d expect if you put people in charge who have no idea how anything works.
If the victims are Venezuelan, why are they not raising criminal charges ? I know they wouldn't actually end up with an arrest, but surely it would force the US to present their "evidence" justifying the attacks ?
Just flat out threats from Chump. Give me what I want or I'll fire thousands.
"Now, with that being said, we can do things during the shutdown that are irreversible, that are bad for [Democrats] and irreversible by them, like cutting vast numbers of people out... cutting programmes that they like,"
So Trump just grifted another $24M from being the President. It's ridiculous that the President of the US can sue people, its an absolute abuse of power
The biggest harm Trump has/is doing to the US is that it's shown the inability of American democracy to reign him in. That will continue to be a huge issue long after he's gone.
Trump's utterly deluded if he thinks his speech full of lies and self aggrandising rhetoric was "really well received" at the UN. He just embarrassed himself, yet again, on the world stage.
