He just locked up my vote

Add Rubio or Gabbard to the ticket and we're Golden.

Tom Clancy wrote a novel about this in the 1980s, called "Clear and Present Danger."

Only in this case, the president and SecDEf will support our special ops guys on the ground.

You like the fact that JD Vance doesn’t seem to care that we might be committing war crimes or that the world might think that we’re committing war crimes.

Good luck with that.

Is it a war crime or protecting American citizens?

Nobody cares what left or the rest of the world thinks. Trump and Vance are protecting OUR citizens from drug dealers who are being allow to run wild by the left and the rest of the world. The left wants sympathy for a bunch of low life scum. Good luck with that. By the way, Obama did the same thing (and murdered innocent American citizens with NO DUE PROCESS). As the left applauded.

Selective outrage is pretty funny.

How about this. Go down to a street corner in a bad neighbor neighborhood, find a drug dealer, you and your posse can haul him down to the courthouse and hang him.

Because that’s essentially what Trump did. The state executed people in international waters without any due process of any kind. Without proof of where they were headed or any proof of wrongdoing.

If you think that’s a good thing then you’re one or more of the following.

1. Misguided
2. Misinformed
3. Stupid
4. A Fascist

Feel free to apply one or more of these suggestions as necessary.

I would like everyone to think about what happened during the drug war in the Philippines under Duterte.

https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/12/asia/...ainer-intl-hnk

How Duterte went from boasting about killing drug dealers to facing trial for crimes against humanity

Rodrigo Duterte ran the Philippines for six turbulent years, during which he oversaw a brutal crackdown on drugs, openly threatened critics with death and tongue-lashed a host of global leaders from the Pope to former US President Barack Obama. (remind you of anyone?)

No. Sorry foreigners are not the same as the drug dealer down on the corner.

Seethe harder. Any opinion on the aforementioned Biden execution of an innocent Afghani and seven kids?

Oh and I’ll go with fascist because hey I’m due my 15 minutes of hate.

There can be no doubt it was an extra-judicial killing!
There can also be no doubt ... they were up to no good!
(They bought their ticket ... they took their chances!)
Me thinks, the caribbean drug traffickers ... are gunna think twice before doin' it again!
(Donnie put the fear of God in them!)
Donnie's got a pair of balls!
Donnie's gunna tighten them up!

Where’s the line?

Well since he’s on American soil, I’d prefer we don’t drop ordnance. I’ll go with ICE arrest and deportation to that cushie joint in El Salvador. I’m also good with one way helicopter flights for the violent offenders. I’m sort of not a believer in reform, I lean heavy on the punishment/banishment curve.

American society doesn’t have to be like this.

do you really think that high speed boat was simply deep sea fishing at 4 am in the middle of the ocean?

As far as if it’s a war crime or not I am not qualified to speak to that. In my personal opinion I think that it is.

The only thing I get out of this is I am postponing the purchase of the pleasure craft I was planning to buy for use in the Caribbean islands
