Totally agree with you Stuart and I'm from the "other" side. But "bragging" about blowing up a drug boat? First what if they weren't hauling drugs? I doubt that they weren't! But the "usual" way to deal with these guys is you surround the boat, get on board and arrest them. Because you don't even know now how many drugs were on board (which usually determines their conviction) and I guess there is no "due process" because they were vaporized by the blast!

I heard there were three female hostages on the boat as a humane shield.

This Not so Supreme Court should hang up their robes and go home. They no longer represent justice and the guardians of the Constitution. Heart breaking and they have sealed their fate as a stain on our history.

So, Stuart, here's my question. Assuming JD Vance wants to kill drug smugglers in international waters, HOW DID HE KNOW THEY WERE DRUG SMUGGLERS? They could have been anyone. Were drugs found? Was DNA collected from the victims linking them irrefutably to TdA? There was no VBSS [visit, board, search and seizure] operation. Or is boating in the Gulf of "America" a capital crime justifying extrajudicial killing now?

It was a small, open boat. It did not have any cargo space. Where were they hiding the drugs? I think it was just a fishing boat but that doesn't matter. There is a process for interdiction of drugs. USA doesn't just murder people and try to justify it later. That is not us!

Apparently, it is us now. Perhaps those who voted for these criminals might think harder if they get another chance to vote.

Thanks, Stuart. They are all vile, evil, cowards and crooks. Not one person of this administration would you want with you in a foxhole or anywhere for that matter.

The question should read: does Shady JD know anything at all? He doesn't even know what his real name is.

I wish they’d understand that 98% of the world sees them as weak little cowardly men, larping as tough guys. They are the truest definition of pathetic. Just a mess of neuroses and stupidity.

Military hits ARE campaign ads. Trump's rube voters *love* this. Due Process is for pansies, real men pull out their six-shooters and just KILL the varmint! Your rhetorical question about Rubio's brother in law is laughable. Of course they would kill him. And Rubio's all bought in to this shit. It matters not that there are human lives being snuffed out, it's for Trump's power, which is all that matters.

By the way, Rubio and Bessent had best watch their step. Latino and gay are not good looks inside today's MAGA party. Likewise with all the women (so many women in that administration!). A purge may be a-coming. Just sayin'.

How do we know that these were drug smugglers?

The Trump maladministration is not known for telling the truth.

Marco Rubio's brother in- law was a cocaine trafficker. Everyone in the republikkklan party is a criminal.

There are legal processes (sotto voce: Due Process), ahem, which could determine that. But given the dire emergency that our brave nation is under, ain't nobody got time for that. A Hellfire missile launched from an Apache can efficiently kill scores of suspicious brown people, and it only costs about $100,000. That's a bargain compared to paying for all those commie courts and lawyers to establish "facts".

BS it would not have cost 100k to find out. All they had to do was stop the boat. Killing them was just mass murder. But Trump is the biggest mass murderer in our recent history. Trump murdered 1 million Americans with his incompetent handling of covid.

Yes, of course he is and of course he did. Stay with me on this: slaughtering brown people is a campaign ad investment for him, the bureaucratic tedium of legal due process is not.

SCOTUS Reform Is An Absolute DNC Mandate

The current SCOTUS is a Nazi engineered judiciary created by Mitch McConnell in collusion with the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation By nullifying norms the formation of the current court clearly does not represent the opinions of Americans which is essentially their constituents But the Nazis got their way and here we are

As the country’s highest judiciary it is absolutely out of control as exemplified by the overturning of Roe, then granting Cheeto complete immunity of any crimes committed while in office, and now giving Cheeto and his Nazi allies power to continue their illegal mass deportation process This will be a court that will give askance look at any authoritarian move that the Nazi regime wants to do

SCOTUS reform needs to dilute this corrupt court There is no way that the DNC as part of its platform should not be angered by such illegitimate decisions By expanding the court to 13 members which is constitutionally allowed the court’s power would be muted and less consolidated Some argue that it needs to be done in a step wise fashion but it needs to be done all at once in order to stop this Nazi takeover of the court Some argue that this will lead to every administration to increase the court’s number and that’s ok….the more SCOTUS judges the merrier diluting the influence of these conservative nuts that are currently serving
