"And the declaration calls to end military deployments into American cities since 'America is not at war with Americans.'”
But TRUMP HAS declared war on Americans. It began on June 1, 2020 (the day Trump was carrying that bible), when he wanted to have the military break up a peaceful demonstration. I think that was the same day he asked if it was OK to shoot demonstrators in the legs. Trump has gotten bolder in his present term as regime leader, since there is no one who will say NO to him.
One good thing is that this whole issue brought to light what a reckless hyperpartisan Tom Cotton is and always has been. His comments after the briefing he was in were beyond the pale of simply making it up as he goes along to suit the criminal Regime in our White House. I believe warmonger would be the right term for Cotton!
AB, your moniker carries a much better punch than mine. Living in Louisiana, we have an abundance of shameful characters in Congress: both senators, Little Mikie "Bible Thumper" Johnson, Steve "Sleazy" Scalise and let's not forget the embarrassment Clay "No to Releasing Epstein Files" Higgins. Even if Dems have decent candidates, I'm afraid it would not matter in your state or mine although our former governor, John Bel Edwards, beat a Drumpf-supported nominee (Eddie "Phoney" Rispone) to win a second term. He was far better than the current Drumpf clone and deplorable Jeff Landry.
Thank you. You know, your congressional members are better known than ours.
Yours do more to crawl into convicted felon Drowsy Don's ass, especially your pipsqueak Johnson, who is a typical example of a short man with the Napoleon Bonaparte complex. Scalise, I think> still has a bullet stuck in his brain.
Ours, other than Cottonmouth, are all hiding and doing nothing, other than to collect their paychecks and benefits. Cottonmouth obviously thinks he is presidential material and this is the way to go about getting it. I am rolling on the floor laughing at that idea. 🤣
I saw in the news yesterday that The Coast Guard interdicted a boat off Florida and removed a large amount of drugs and arrested the crew... The lethal shows of force need to end.
Exactly. The Coast Guard is a model for dealing with drug importation the correct way - stop the boat without violence, search it, and if drugs are found remove them and arrest the crew. Why don't we fund the Coast Guard adequately so they can patrol a larger area, and get the Navy out of the Caribbean? We are not at war with these countries.
tRump has a deeply seated need to swagger and show he can kill people just as well as his Daddy Vlad can and his macho man 'Secretary of War' has the same needs.
I believe this is all in line with his new world order. He wants Venezuela's resources; he wants to dominate in the Western hemisphere, with Putin taking charge of the Eastern hemisphere. Two corrupt mafia bosses. He won't succeed. The American people are not dumb, just believed a con man; but seeing through a con becomes easier, in time, as prices rise. This is why media is so important. When the press chooses not to cover major stories, and give their fuller context for fear of being sued or losing their jobs, ... we are in trouble; our democracy needs them.
That’s why the Founders protected them in the first amendment. Their fatal mistake was relying on government by honorable men constrained by norms. We’ve learned that a mob boss profits by just ignoring norms.
Stephen, it's all show and a clear demonstration of Trump's cruelty. He takes pleasure in hurting people and what better way than unjustified murder on the high seas. Impeachment long overdue!
Absolutely. Wouldn’t set well in the club house. My dad & his wife lived south of Naples in a very nice gated golf community. As closet Democrats. Being from the PNW, it felt pretty bizarre to me. Loved the alligators, though.
Our FIFA peace-prize winner (??) wants war. He NEEDS a war to make him feel powerful. And he thinks he can use a war as a means of derailing the midterm elections. He can't negotiate effective peace deals in Ukraine or Gaza; does anyone think he'll do a better job in South America?
On top of that, his Secretary of State (Little Marco) is out of his depth and ineffective. Peace is just a word, not anything that he or his department know how to achieve.
Poor little Marco! He can't do one job effectively, so the Dumper has assigned him two additional jobs that he can't do effectively. He may not earn the title of "Worst Secretary of State of all time", but he is likely to earn the title as "Most ineffectual Secretary of all time". Of course, he is a solid member of the worst cabinet of all time.
In a chapter right out of the James Bond movies, Pete Hegseth (a/k/a “Blofeld”), the heavily tatooed former Fox News celebrity and currently our Secretary of War, upon the authority of Donald J. Trump, anointed Admiral Frank “Mitch” Bradley with a license to kill. Whether Bradley thereby inherited the 007 title or became 008, NBC News reported that Bradley testified that “Hegseth ordered the U.S. military on Sept. 2 to kill all 11 people on a suspected drug-smuggling boat in the Caribbean Sea because they were on an internal list of narco-terrorists who U.S. intelligence and military officials determined could be lethally targeted.”
While most of the current debate surrounds the legitimacy of murdering survivors of an attack who thereby became “non-combatants” under International Law, U.S. Laws and the U.S. Military Code, which strictly forbid such summary executions, the first issue that needs to be addressed is whether the U.S. had and has the legal right to patrol the high seas and summarily kill anyone on a boat whom our military suspects may be intending to smuggle drugs into the U.S.
Let’s not overlook the fact that these targets were previously referred as “drug runners”. Donald Trump and his junta of thugs and misfits miraculously converted them into squads of “Narco-Terrorists” which sounds a lot more threatening than “drug runners:” and creates the semblance of a greater threat and excuse to kill them in cold blood
.
Here, in a twist of role reversals, Trump, with his passion and obsession to be surrounded by gold, has become the modern day Goldfinger, who has invested himself with a license to kill and to appoint a double-0 killing team to execute on it. (Perhaps the code-word for this assassination squad is SMERSH or SPECTRE).
As for the second issue, the killing of the two survivors, per the NBC News Report: “ Bradley told lawmakers the second strike killed the two survivors, but did not sink the boat, so he ordered a third and a fourth strike to complete the mission... Bradley, referencing the approved list of targets, said Hegseth told him to kill everyone on board and to destroy the vessel, the official and person familiar with the briefing said.”
The law on this second issue is patently, and blatantly, clear that prisoners of war, injured survivors and other “non-combatants” are not fodder for killing and that it is illegal under International law, the Geneva Convention, U.S. laws and the U.S.Military Code to kill them in cold blood.
In Bradley's self-serving testimony, which was heavily contoured after the fact to justify his murders, he volunteered that the 2 survivors didn't surrender, without adding that he made no effort to seek their surrender because his orders were clearly to kill them.
Bradley is a disgrace to the U.S. Navy and to the American people.
“ Bradley, referencing the approved list of targets, said Hegseth told him to kill everyone on board and to destroy the vessel, the official and person familiar with the briefing said.”
I thought the reporting about that testimony (not under oath) was updated, I thought Bradley testified Hegseth did not give the “kill everyone” order?..
My understanding is that Hegseth originally issued an order that all boats and people on them were to be killed. I don't believe that this Bradley stated that Hegseth intervened on September 2 after this boat was blown up to kill the two survivors, because there was a standing order to do so even though Bradley ventured into the world of double-talk to try to extricate himself from being entwined in International Law, etc. etc prohibiting the summary execution of non-combatants.
The Nixon-era war on drugs has not been won after fifty-plus years and a trillion dollars spent. Since George W Bush declared war on terror twenty-five years and eight trillion dollars ago, that war is a failed fiasco also. So the current president has declared war on narco-terrorism, thinking his double-barreled name-calling will be more persuasive? His cruelty, his deluded visions, his madness has to be stopped.
"Narco-terrorism" is an idiotic term. Those who produce, traffic, smuggle, and sell illegal drugs are not engaging in or threatening violence to achieve political goals, the definition of terrorism. They're criminals making money illegally. The American markets they serve are not innocent people being forced to do something against their will. They're everything from casual occasional users to hopeless addicts, but no one is forcing them to seek out and buy illegal drugs.
Whatever the personal and societal costs of drug abuse, supplying that demand simply doesn't fit any accepted definition of terrorism.
So, because we have not been able to eradicate drugs after fifty years and trillions spent, I guess it is time we tried something different, like murder.
Jen, the word you are searching for here is MURDER!
But, like so much else that Trump does, he still walks a free man and continues to reduce our democracy to a cynical joke. He and Hegseth daily make a mockery of justice and justice in this country (as with the statue) is blindfolded!
When will someone with a spine stand up and arrest them?
If you click through to the VoteVets petition, you'll find that the petition is by "VoteVets and our elected veteran leaders in Congress." By my count there are currently 19 veterans in the House who are Democrats. That means two-thirds of them have already signed.
Apparently there is an Office of Legal Council memo that says these strikes are legal. So no one can prosecute anyone!? Maybe the drafter of such memos should not be immune? It will be hard to hold people to account for the second strike, but it is good people are trying, and we will see where folks stand. (Listen to the NYTImes Daily podcast for analysis of this situation and the OLC's (like the torture memo) get out of jail free cards . . .
Oh they forgot Trump's pardon and release of the President who is responsible for huge amounts of drugs into this country, as Conway said call it what it is, the Trump crime family.
I am sure there are hundreds of ways to squirm out of a murder rap. But, guess what? Whatever you do the casually observant immediately peg it for what it is.
Two quick and related points. First, in the law enforcement realm, you need the "little fish" to turn on the "big fish" so you can take down the entire drug operation. Killing the guys on the boats prevents that. So, as far as protecting Americans from drugs, these strikes make it harder to to do that because the "big fish" get away.
Second, there is an insidious effect of these extra-judicial killings based on a pretext. It is to habituate the American public to the fact that the president gets to kill people arbitrarily. Make no mistake, when he thinks he can get away with it, Trump will order Americans to be rounded up and executed. That's mostly what deploying ICE and Border Patrol is about.
Also note the DOJ making a list of "extremists" in which extremist is defined in a way which would include protected political opposition to Trump, i.e. just being a Democrat.
I agree, wholeheartedly with Rand, Paul, and that’s a rare thing. What I find especially egregious is that Admiral Bradley followed illegal orders. I think a Court Martial is called for in the near future for Admiral Bradley.
Interestingly, at the time of this incident, Bradley was only a vice admiral; a month later, he was made a full admiral. Hmmm.🤔
I have my doubts about whether the Admiral told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. He wasn't under oath, for one thing; maybe he thought he could cross his fingers and hope for the best. And even though members of the military have a code that tells them not to follow illegal orders, they also have a strong tradition of following orders and protecting their superiors from looking bad. Brady's account of what Hegseth said needs independent corroboration.
In just 11 months, Trump has managed to destroy the US government and everything it has ever stood for - replacing competent, dedicated agency heads with incompetent sycophants; proceeds with the wholesale destruction of the Health Department and our leadership in medical research; the reckless firing of vast numbers of civil servants causing agencies like NOAA to no longer have sufficient staffing for weather alerts in cold weather states; corruption at the highest level as Trump sells pardons and political favors to the highest bidders, courts criminals in the Oval Office, and attempts to humiliate fledgling democracies as he sides with Russia and turns his back on European allies.
Now he has ruined the reputation of our military with his campaign to bully Venezuela by blowing up possible drug running boats which is both illegal and unnecessary. All this does not even start with the slap in the face he has given to Americans by declaring “affordability” to be a hoax and “fake” as his tariffs have done nothing but increase the price of goods. Wake up people! Trump needs to go, NOW!!
This piece should be published in every US newspaper, every church newsletter and every community board. It should be read aloud to new military recruits as well as serving members, as an additional reminder of their oaths. Newscasters should read it to their audiences. Heck, let’s get it posted on X and Untruth Social.
We can thank the 6 fascist SCOTUS members for the July 1, 2024 ruling on giving the administration full immunity and putting the country in the position of a continuing take-down of the Constitutional rules and laws and the obvious elimination of the normal Rule of Law that Americans would expect out of the branch of Government that is supposed to be the enforcer of those general rules. So, the CFP and his cronies do what they want with zero guardrails. His elimination from power cannot come soon enough.
"And the declaration calls to end military deployments into American cities since 'America is not at war with Americans.'”

You mean, there is no REPUBLICAN who will say no to him.
My opinion is that if we don't stop it now, by the time 2028 come and it will be too late.
The convicted felon and his administration IS at war with any state or city that goes against him.
will the next step be drone attacks be on Democratic states and cities?
One good thing is that this whole issue brought to light what a reckless hyperpartisan Tom Cotton is and always has been. His comments after the briefing he was in were beyond the pale of simply making it up as he goes along to suit the criminal Regime in our White House. I believe warmonger would be the right term for Cotton!
And an accessory to murder. Lets not forget that!
Def. "accessory" Someone who gives assistance to the perpetrator of a crime, without directly committing it, sometimes without being present.
Just look into Tom C’s eyes. There is nobody home.
Cotton, like Vance, is a weather vane. He'll point whichever the way the wind is blowing.
William, I can think of a host of other terms to describe Tom Cottonseed but they are too X-rated to list here.
I call him Cottonmouth, because everything that comes out of there is poisonous. Every Arkansan should be ashamed of him, I know I am.
Incidentally, I did not vote for him. The Democrats make it very easy for him, since they never put up a decent candidate against him.
AB, your moniker carries a much better punch than mine.

Both Hegseth and Trump are bullies, and no doubt about it. The are also small, weak men who wish to be seen as strong.
Both are also murderers.
No doubt about that either.
They are indeed, and if we had a functioning Department of Justice and (properly) functioning supreme court, there would be charges and prosecution.
I believe this is all in line with his new world order. He wants Venezuela's resources; he wants to dominate in the Western hemisphere, with Putin taking charge of the Eastern hemisphere. Two corrupt mafia bosses. He won't succeed. The American people are not dumb, just believed a con man; but seeing through a con becomes easier, in time, as prices rise.

Stephen, make that Vlad the Impaler and the Secretary of War Crimes.
Why? Because Lethality Pete revels in killing.
The only way for it to end is to arrest them. Arrest both of them.
Stephen, it's all show and a clear demonstration of Trump's cruelty. He takes pleasure in hurting people and what better way than unjustified murder on the high seas. Impeachment long overdue!
Let’s imagine Pete ordering a kill order on “a boat off Florida.” Yeah, no. Those Republicans in gated golf communities on the Gulf would flip out!!
Especially if it was one of their GOP buddies. That would be a certain irony, wouldn't it?
Absolutely. Wouldn’t set well in the club house. My dad & his wife lived south of Naples in a very nice gated golf community. As closet Democrats. Being from the PNW, it felt pretty bizarre to me. Loved the alligators, though.

Strong-arm negotiators cause more resentment which leads to more revengeful reactions. Like the classroom bully everyone ends up resenting. Sad…
Thank you for the clarity, Jen. This cruelty,lawlessness and murder must be called out for what it is.
👏👏👏👏👏👏‼️You speak for me as well, & many other Americans I’m sure…
ADMIRAL BRADLEY WAS GIVEN A LICENSE TO KILL

Hallelujah for saying it! These may be narcos (who knows, they had no due process !) but how are they terrorists?
From your lips to the president's ears? No, I guess not.
So, because we have not been able to eradicate drugs after fifty years and trillions spent, I guess it is time we tried something different, like murder.
Such as the case when desperate, malignant narcissists run the executive branch of our government.
That seems to be the (il)logic at work here.
I guess we didn't learn anything from Prohibition. The same scenario played out.
Extrajudicial!!??
Jen, the word you are searching for here is MURDER!
