Obama Drones = Cheers.Trump Boats = War Crimes.Apples to Oranges

The far right hypocrisy!  I don't recall the right calling for strong public and congressional support when another POTUS used Drone's to kill in the name of terror.

 

Republicans in Congress challenged Obama’s drone program during his presidency.

 

Senate Republicans pressed the Obama administration to justify the legal basis for targeted killings, including of U.S. citizens abroad.

 

Concerns centered on:

Lack of transparency

Executive power without oversight

Civil liberties implications

The precedent it set for future presidents

Sen Ted Cruz opens up a can of worms! in a Oversight Committee hearing as he questions a ex federal judge in the past.. The can of worms ,rules for thee  not for me. The radical Marxist dems threw out the rule book for their hero who conspired with his intel cabal  to thwart 46. They are trying hard to do it again.

That's a perfect example of AI slop and slanted AI training.  That's never been debunked.  Just squelched.  Most of the court cases were dismissed based on standing, not on evidence.

 

All GOP recounts and audits failed, and confirmed there was no massive fraud! 🤣

 

The big lie is a ridiculous conspiracy theory for the gullible!

5 years later, they're still fighting to get access to ballots and records.  If there was nothing to hide, why are they working so hard to hide it?

In other words, 5 years later, you still have nothing!

 

BTW, who are "they" (those who work so hard)? In most cases formerly targeted by MAGA propaganda, elections were supervised by Republicans.

The greatest conspiracy in the history of the world, and 5 years later still no evidence or witnesses has come forward.

Should we try again but base the post in reality?

Sorry can't follow your logic ?

The boats were about fifteen  bus or petrol stops away from the US .
Nothing to do with industrial scale cartel smugglers  - just day trippers unless you can prove otherwise ???

Ok JimBlue/Jim1000 very subtle dual accounts there mate🤣

 

And why, pray tell, do these boats rammed with hundreds of kilos of cocaine need bus stops? If they were out daytripping probably better to leave the $50 million worth of cocaine at home because, you know, getting atomized kinda ruins an afternoons fishing trip🤣

Totally delusional due to their hatred of Trump totally unwiring their brains.

 

The drug boats are clearly rammed to the gills with contraband. This isnt some Boston Whaler with grandma and gramps and the grandkids heading off bag a few blugill for dinner. And they know it yet still act dumb.

Killing smugglers in international waters, smugglers who're not even heading to the US. Random murders on the high seas. To be added to the list of crimes committed by the traitor in the WH.

 

Merry Christmas!:thumbsup:

Good idea to inspect those oil tankers instead of blowing them up.

1. Environmental concerns .

2. It wouldn't be the first time Narco drug runners smuggled drugs in oil tankers.

This is a dumb  Dem Senator.

Which is what he is saying: seize the drug boats in stead of sinking them.

When the Somalis are doing it, it's called piracy, and rightly so.

Why does it seem  like Dem's sympathize with foreign Terrorist organizations?

Google ai overview:

"The perception that some Democrats sympathize with terrorist organizations generally stems from specific statements or policy positions of a small number of progressive lawmakers, primarily concerning the Israel-Palestine conflict, which have been amplified by political opponents. These views have caused significant internal debate within the Democratic Party, and official party platforms explicitly condemn terrorism".

Article II gives the Commander in Chief the reins to stop sudden attacks and protect American interests. No need for a congressional approval when narco terrorists are flooding  streets with fentanyl or plotting hits on U.S. soil( CBP Bovine). Thank goodness he declared the cartels ,FTO.

 

The White House truth bombs the WP hit piece.

"The Washington Post’s Alex Horton and Ellen Nakashima published an article from two unnamed sources claiming Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a Joint Special Operations commander to “kill everybody” during an anti-terrorist operation in the Caribbean Sea".

 

"The Truth

The Department of War killed 11 narco-terrorists in a coordinated strike designed to “kill the narco-terrorists who are poisoning the American people.” This attack was the first in a series of lethal kinetic strikes against Designated Terrorist Organizations. The Washington Post published this unsubstantiated claim in an attempt to discredit the United States’ warfighters and inflame anti-American sentiment".

No need for a congressional approval when narco terrorists are flooding streets with fentanyl 

 

Fentanyl -- in open boats?

 

17 Nov 2025 -- Experts believe the campaign – while officially about halting drug trafficking and attacking groups such as the Cartel of the Suns – is fundamentally designed to pressure Maduro into stepping down with the threat of military force.

 

Many Venezuela specialists are skeptical that the Cartel of the Suns even exists in the same way that Mexican cartels such as Sinaloa or Jalisco New Generation do. Rather, the name is seen as a dramatized description of the way in which Maduro has allowed criminal groups, including senior military figures, to exploit illegal industries including cocaine smuggling.

 

“They know it doesn’t exist,” said Phil Gunson, a Caracas-based analyst for Crisis Group, who called the “fictitious” cartel “convenient shorthand” for Maduro’s power over the world of crime.

Ya got to wonder why past admin never took the opportunity afforded to them . How else are Narco Terrorist going to be stopped from being  a criminal enterprise.Take away their finances.

 

"The Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control published the list of sanctions on Thursday.

The sanctions are meant to deny them access to any property or financial assets held in the U.S., and the penalties are intended to prevent U.S. companies and citizens from doing business with them. Banks and financial institutions that violate that restriction expose themselves to sanctions or enforcement actions".
