Who employs the illegal aliens, and who buys the illegal drugs?

 

Meanwhile Batshit-crazy Ungar-Sargon wants you to know that illegal drugs are Chemical Weapons of Mass Destruction justifying you know what lol

 That's another OMG, and it's not even lunch yet on this snow-packed 4-degree F second Monday of December.

The Uniparty's military kills civilians in righteous strikes

 Days of Infamy, and all that.

The US Navy is obeying illegal orders to delete video evidence of the October 17 boat strike survivors

 

Senator Tom Cotton calling the September 2nd drug boat strikes righteous is utterly contemptible: The US military waited an hour to kill the shipwrecked survivors

 US airstrike survivors clung to boat wreckage for an hour before second deadly attack, video shows: Footage seen by US senators shows two unarmed, shirtless men struggling to stay afloat before they were killed, sources say

Two men who survived a US airstrike on a suspected drug smuggling boat in the Caribbean clung to the wreckage for an hour before they were killed in a second attack, according to a video of the episode shown to senators in Washington.

The men were shirtless, unarmed and carried no visible radio or other communications equipment. They also appeared to have no idea what had just hit them, or that the US military was weighing whether to finish them off, two sources familiar with the recording told Reuters.

The pair desperately tried to turn a severed section of the hull upright before they died. “The video follows them for about an hour as they tried to flip the boat back over. They couldn’t do it,” one source said. ...

The US Department of Defense’s Law of War manual forbids attacks on combatants who are incapacitated, unconscious or shipwrecked, so long as they abstain from hostilities and do not attempt to escape. The manual cites firing upon shipwreck survivors as an example of a “clearly illegal” order that should be refused. ...           

 

These aren't even combatants. The military has no business in any of this. That's why we have a Coast Guard in the first place.  

But they did kill them all, including the survivors which is a war crime, and they're murderers because the drug runners are noncombatants

If the US military is allowed this completely novel idea that it can kill noncombatants, THEY CAN KILL YOU.

 They're also conspirators who tried to cover up their crime.

Admiral says there was no 'kill them all' order in boat attack, but video alarms lawmakers...  

After the September 2nd debacle, they changed their policy about survivors, which shows they knew all along that they were wrong to kill the survivors on September 2nd.

There were survivors of the sixth attack, on October 16th. Those survivors they recovered and repatriated.

That incident was reported as the first known case of survivors because they covered up that there were survivors on September 2nd.

These people know they committed murder on September 2nd and they tried to hide it. Now they're madly spinning.

What Trump is doing is wildly illegal, wildly un-American.

Trump's base is not happy: Strong disapproval of Trump hits new high 46% in Rasmussen Reports Poll, strong approval hits new low 27% for a second day

Trump's total disapproval score remains at a record high 55% for a second day.

His strong approval score is now a record low 27%, lower than his April 9th tariff low of 29%, his only sub-30 score until the last two weeks.

Trump has had a string of eleven sub-30 strong approval scores since November 11th.

Trump kicked off the period on November 11th stating that we needed H-1B workers because we didn't have enough talent in America. The longest federal government shutdown in history ended on Wednesday the 12th. Around the 15th he reversed his tariffs on coffee and other food items which had contributed to their record high prices in the first place. The same day brought the news that he had also stabbed Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia in the back over her criticism of the GOP's refusal to extend the Obamacare premium tax credits. The Epstein files saga came to a head on the 18th requiring their release, but will we ever see them? TikTok was supposed to be sold or shut down by act of Congress, too, and it has not been. On the 19th Trump was kissing the ass of the Saudi killer of Khashoggi, MBS, in the Oval Office. On the 20th Trump's secret 28-point plan with Russia to carve up Ukraine came to light. On the 22nd Democrats went on camera talking darkly about illegal orders being given to the military in the Caribbean. A National Guard soldier was executed on the streets of DC on the 26th by an Afghan refugee let into America by Biden but given residency by Trump. By the 29th we learned that survivors of a Trump drug boat attack in the Caribbean on September 2 were executed in a subsequent strike by the US military, which they obviously hoped no one would ever find out about. They spent the whole time since making up shit about this being a war justifying military engagement when everyone knows it's not a war and killing people for running drugs in the first place is wrong, otherwise the job we give the Coast Guard to do year in and year out has been simply a pointless exercise.

Trump's base is not happy. Pick your reason(s). 

 

 

Trump isn't interested in Venezuela because of the drugs, it's the oil

This entire drug war is a charade. 

Trump, April 2011: "I'm only interested in Libya if we take the oil".

He just pardoned the former Honduran president sentenced to 45 years over cocaine, but he's going after the Venezuelan president over drugs?

Venezuela has 4x the proven oil reserves of the United States, tops in the world, and it's right in our backyard.

Trump isn't interested in peace and freedom in Ukraine, either. All he wants is a piece of action.

All that lizard brain cares about is money. 

 

 

Trump's indefensible kill-everybody-policy in the Caribbean means up to 20% of those he's murdering could be entirely innocent according to none other than the U.S. Coast Guard

Instead of pouring money into the military to kill people, Trump should have poured the money into the Coast Guard, which apprehended, without murdering anybody, about 171 drug boats in the last fiscal year. 

Every American should be ashamed about what Trump & Company is doing. 

This morning's drug boat crime cabinet meeting got one thing right

 

Comrade Karoline claims war crime was legal even as she said Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth knew nothing about it but Admiral Frank Bradley did

White House Throws Admiral Under the Bus on Boat Strike

S.V. Date, HuffPost

 

... Killing survivors of a destroyed vessel is literally an example of a war crime in the U.S. Department of Defense Law of War Manual. “For example, orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal,” the manual reads.

Press secretary Karoline Leavitt, nevertheless, repeatedly stated that it was legal – even as she further claimed, as President Donald Trump did Sunday, that Hegseth was unaware that it had happened.

“On Sept. 2, Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. Admiral Bradley worked well within his authority and the law, directing the engagement to ensure the boat was destroyed and the threat to the United States of America was eliminated,” she said.

At the time of the attack off the Trinidad coast, Frank Bradley was head of the Joint Special Operations Command. According to a Washington Post report about the incident, it was he who relayed the order from Hegseth to “kill everybody” by sending Navy SEALs back to the disabled boat to have them kill the two people clinging to the wreckage.

In October, Bradley was promoted to run the U.S. Special Operations Command. ...

Trump & Company just make stuff up after the fact about the drug boat attacks, which is their modus operandi

 Shoot first and ask questions later.

When Elon Musk went in all gangbusters cutting government willy nilly from January 20th, he was immediately challenged about his authority and the nature of his position until the Trump administration retroactively made him a special government employee on February 3rd. But Musk still controversially operated with unprecedented authority over all of government even though he never submitted to the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate, which is standard for all high-ranking federal appointees. His rogue status was never adjudicated. 

The retroactive appointment is called covering your ass.

The same thing has happened now with the drug boat controversy, twice.

After the first drug boat attack caused an uproar, Trump made up some shit to justify it weeks later, indicating he knew what they were doing was wrong:

... In the weeks following the attack, President Trump, 79, attempted to retroactively insulate those responsible from legal consequences by informing Congress that the U.S. was in a “non-international armed conflict” with “designated terrorist organizations,” and therefore those who killed suspected narcotics traffickers would be exempt from criminal prosecution. ...

Similarly, someone changed the protocol for attacks after the September 2nd incident because they knew killing survivors was wrong. They just hoped we didn't find out that's what they did that day:

The protocol for future suspected drug boat strikes was altered after the Sept. 2 attack, and the military was instructed to detain any survivors. 

This is Trump Amateur Hour 2.0. They don't know what they are doing. It would be amusing but for the bodies left in their wake.

Seal Team 6 disgraces itself and the country it serves, obeys illegal Hegseth order to finish off survivors of already illegal September 2nd drug boat attack

One illegal act leads to another, and another, and another. 

Over 80 alleged criminals are now dead in such attacks, but we'll never know if they really were criminals.

 Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all: As two men clung to a stricken, burning ship targeted by SEAL Team 6, the Joint Special Operations commander followed the defense secretary’s order to leave no survivors.

... The alleged traffickers pose no imminent threat of attack against the United States and are not, as the Trump administration has tried to argue, in an “armed conflict” with the U.S., these officials and experts say. Because there is no legitimate war between the two sides, killing any of the men in the boats “amounts to murder,” said Todd Huntley, a former military lawyer who advised Special Operations forces for seven years at the height of the U.S. counterterrorism campaign.

Even if the U.S. were at war with the traffickers, an order to kill all the boat’s occupants if they were no longer able to fight “would in essence be an order to show no quarter, which would be a war crime,” said Huntley, now director of the national security law program at Georgetown Law. ... "the state using force is judge, jury and executioner," Huntley said. ...

If the video of the blast that killed the two survivors on Sept. 2 were made public, people would be horrified, said one person who watched the live feed. The Intercept first reported that the survivors were killed in a follow-up attack. ... There has been no public release of a subsequent strike video ...

The guys in the military who actually have to do Trump's killing for him in the Caribbean Sea know that what they are doing is wrong

 White House blew past legal concerns in deadly strikes on drug boats

 ... In recent weeks, junior officers in the military, fearing potential legal exposure, asked military lawyers, known as judge advocates general, for written sign-off before taking part in strikes, said two people familiar with the matter. It does not appear that such memos were furnished. ...

Trump knows it, too, which is why he's getting rid of all the lawyers and military officers who tell him so.

Senator Tom Cotton sees absolutely nothing wrong with Trump acting as judge, jury, and executioner of noncombatant alleged criminals in drug boats

They don't believe in the rule of law.

They are a law unto themselves, no different than Democrats have been.

Mad King Ludwig rages against the machine: When Trump pardoned the J6ers, figuring out who deserved it and who didn't was just too hard for him, and so is figuring out Obamacare

 He has no clue what to do about Obamacare, so he proposes murdering it.

It's his solution for everything else, so why not?

Kill the lawfully allocated federal spending, kill the federal workers administering it, kill the agencies they worked for, kill the inspectors general making sure you comply with the federal laws you break with every breath, kill Greenland, kill Canada, kill the Houthis, kill the Iranians, and kill the drug boat operators.

Are Venezuelans next? Nigerians? And how many U.S. citizens swept up in ICE raids will die in custody, like the 20 foreigners who already have? 

Bankrupting the insurance companies overnight as he is suggesting is simply the political equivalent of what Luigi Mangione did to the United Healthcare CEO.

These pronunciamentos he keeps uttering are piling up into one great heap of nothing more than a mountain of irritable mental gestures, if you don't count the actual bodies left behind.

Republicans repealed Obamacare 37 times after 2010, but it's still alive.

They still have nothing.

A sane person observes that the options are limited with a five seat majority in the U.S. House and a three seat majority in the U.S. Senate, but sane does not describe Mad King Ludwig. He is intent on shoving down the throats of the American people whatever he can no less than Democrats did with Obamacare fifteen years ago. The Uniparty, folks.

Everything Trump does is done with the subtlety of a brick. If only he restricted himself to building.

But that is impossible for him, because he has desires . . ..
