i'd go even further and say there is a reason even nixon kept this kind of stuff to himself. you would have to go back quite a bit to find a point at which is acceptable for a president to say anything like this *in public*, to say nothing of in the oval office.
I don’t want to be pollyannish about the past, but it was basically inconceivable twenty years ago that a president would say this publicly
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

Seems like the only point for them is so they can blow up stuff and watch it on a big screen. Like juveniles with a video game. If they have any grasp that they're killing living, breathing humans, they don't seem to care. Clearly, they're not interested in the drugs, or the truth. I feel sick.

You’re correct…those exact words will be uttered shortly, it’s his only defense using “war” as an excuse to send out the military.

The entire deployment of Naval ships to the Caribbean falls under the make believe “war on drugs” too.

Trump really wants the Venezuela oil.

I can't get over the fact that they scheduled a televised Cabinet meeting, hyped it as a major event, planned it all out to show how active and in control Trump is ... and then he dozed off in the middle of it. Repeatedly.

22-23 total strikes since September. How many other second strikes have occurred? Is it the same strike team or have they expanded more American military into their murderous ranks?

The USA is not at WAR! Trump makes shit up, Hegseth incites the violence, and innocent fishermen and immigrants die.

Exactly. The alleged war on drugs is in no way a declared war on a country. I say 'alleged' because pardoning the convicted former Honduras president, who boasted he aided trafficking of over 500 TONS of cocaine directly to the US belies this war on drugs crap.
The whole operation is mass murder.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.

But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

The U.S. has conducted 19 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing at least 76 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military.

They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

The boat’s cargo was alleged to have been fentanyl.

Hernandez was convicted of smuggling 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S.. He was sentenced to 45 years behind bars in June 2024. Less than 18 months after sentencing, Trump pardoned and released Hernandez.

As a veteran who served in intelligence, I want to introduce you to EXORDS: the execute order from the President to SecDef. This allows 60 days operations under the War Powers Act. The President must advise Congress and gain approval to continue.
No EXORD was sent to Congress. This is illegal
