I was opposed to extrajudicial assassinations/executions when the Obama administration did them. I'm still opposed.

So with N Korea’s botched mission, Trump is directly responsible for 18 deaths. No wonder Kim Jong Un leans to Russia & China.

📌

Where are the lines for Republicans, How much is too much for them? When will they no longer support this crazy man? Why does anyone think it's ok to police another nation's territorial waters half a world away? What law gives America the right to use military force on criminals not on US soil?

Oh yes, as a 15-year military veteran, I totally understand that. I'm just not sure that the current batch of enlistees understand that.

If ya ‘teach’ at a diploma mill named “Catholic Law”, you’re not appointable to ANY Federal judgeship. ANY

Unless the boat was imminently committing a deadly crime like speeding towards the ship with a load of explosives, there was no cause to shoot at it. They try to capture pirates, not kill them. The captain of the Navy ship does not have immunity, nor does the sailor who pulled the trigger.

it’s cool how there will be no repercussions for this

There is no statute of limitations on murder. The military cannot hide behind the defense of following orders.

The US government is a criminal enterprise.

Bottom line, if there were 11 people on the boat, there wasn't room for drugs. If there were drugs on that boat, there wasn't room for 11 people. So, I'm going to call bullshit on this one.

At least 1500lbs that could have been illicit cargo instead of human? Yeah, highly unlikely there would be 11 people on a drug boat. Nobody believes that bullshit narrative

SCOTUS may say he is immune but the International Criminal Court at the Hague may disagree. Next time Trump goes to Scotland to play golf he may end up in prison. That would solve a lot of problems for Dems and GOP alike.

Charge them, hold them all accountable.

The rational being, 'we smoked a drug boat'.

Came for the clout chasing and stayed for the war criming.

Was Hegseth spotted with a cocktail in his hand as he cooked up his cockamamie story?

There is no possible way this boat could have enough fuel to make it to the US or it's territories. Why would there be 11 people on a drug smuggling boat when that would limit the weight of product? Where is the proof that these people were drug smugglers? Extrajudicial punishment is a crime.

even the army people who love trump hate Hegseth.

Because it is a criminal attack on civilians. Reason #1289 why Trump should be being impeached and removed from Office. But instead Republicans (the party of ‘law and order’) will do fuck all to reign in their Mad King who thinks he can do whatever he wants whenever he wants.

A revelation that will surprise no one anywhere. Everyone involved needs to secure their pardons before Trump leaves office.

Call it what it is. It’s LYNCHING.

Yeah, it still is. What remains to be seen is whether anything will be done about it. I'm going to guess no.

It was a snuff movie campaign ad designed to distract attention from the crimes of a pedophile president. Supreme Court will probably decide these are a 1st amendment right in what will become known as the "Purge" ruling.

But did it tho? Did his rationale "come together"? Maybe in the sense that Democrats and Republicans come together in Congress. We have laws and procedures to keep our politicians from committing atrocities. Ignoring them leads to a pretty shite rationale. One might call it a "pretext" rather.

And yet no one resigned.

When the international war crimes law enforcers come for the leaders of the Trump administration, I hope they end up in a hole so deep even Trump's orange pancake makeup won't be enough to hide the pale.

Some of the folks carrying out the assassination of civilians allegedly trafficking drugs ARE drug users. Make this trump environment make sense.

There will need to be trials. Not for show, but actual criminal investigations and convictions. Or we ain’t shit.

Sounds like an act of international terrorism. War, even. But I guess that's the point under a fascist regime that can now do whatever the fuck it wants. Seriously, American generals, you have a duty to end this bullshit. Step up or be counted among the fascists.

Maybe the higher ups have been waiting to be let of the leash their entire careers? Maybe they're just killers with itchy trigger fingers. Or worse, Nazis, like Hegseth.

They outright murdered people.

It should be repeated all over this topic that the pilot that pulled the trigger could be prosecuted, after rapistrump is out of the way.

They be blowin things up, that's what they want, they have to to the splosions.

Trump fashions himself after Duterte. I hope Trump follows in Duterte’s footsteps right to The Hague.

He’s acquiring the taste for murder…not that it ever bothered him before .

Allow me to make a guess. I'm going to guess that there will be absolutely no consequences whatsoever for this absolutely illegal murderous action.
