President Trump: Making America Great Again...

[dabrockster]

If denying a bedrock constitutional principle like due process by killing suspected drug runners isn’t illegal, it sure as hell ought to be.

We are in a bad place that government-sponsored extrajudicial killing of suspected criminals is not considered the biggest scandal of Trump’s presidency.

There are many but the fact is. It is not unlawful. No matter how you feel or what you think, doesn’t make it unlawful.

I have said my peace. I think our entire branches of govt to be full of corrupt, self-serving POS. The only one I have any ounce of respect is our Military, so any attempt to throw them into the fray is complete bullshit move.

I like many other Americans, just want an adult to step up as a leader to work on a path where the ultra right and left are not running things into the ground. Sadly, there is none.

Thanks for the response Brock.

Why Support it? Really? Sorry, but I find it irresponsible and is a tactic used in 3rd world countries to usurp a President. On a global scale, the actions of both parties are equivalent to a petulant brat who does not get his way. The infighting is not cooling but increasing. Truthfully, these bully-bubba and color revolution tactics only solidify everyone in their opinion on or against President Trump.

I believe the reason why these congressmen and women made the video is because they see a significant and growing chance that Trump, or Hegseth, or Noem, or JD Vance WILL issue an illegal order. You may not agree with that view, but if you don't, I would take a look at the extrajudicial killings going on in the Caribbean. The U.S. has killed over 80 in these on-going boat bombings, which the administration says are narco-terrorists. Yet they haven't released ANY actual justification for that claim and don't appear likely to do so at any time in the future. Of course, I am cannot say those are "illegal" order to kill these people, because I don't have the info to make that evaluation. Because the administration won't tell us. But so far, I haven't seen any constitutional justification that would pass muster.

I hope you can see how in that situation, an illegal order could be given and we wouldn't know about it. An illegal order may already have been given.

And to lessen what they did to a speed limit sign seems rather disingenuous..

Oh no, I am not lessening it to speeding. Far from it. All I meant with that comment was that surely you must agree that it is not problematic to inform people of the law before any law has been broken. Mark Kelly and the others telling military members what the UCMJ says is a kin to the city posting the speed limit. Vance is trying to sell some bullshit argument that reminding servicemembers about the law is somehow a crime in and of itself.

Name another time in American history where sitting congressman has made such a statement. Only one I can think of is right before the south pursued succession.

Why? Is something only valid if it has happened before? We've never had anyone like Trump before. I don't understand your argument here. If you are saying it is unprecedented, well, we absolutely live in unprecedented times.

So yeah. I find it reprehensible to engaging in political theater with our soldiers (Who should be above this). What they have done is placed us no different Argentina, Chile or other countries that have instigated such actions.

Do you also find it reprehensible for Trump and Hegseth and Vance to engage in political theater with our soldiers? Because I haven't heard a PEEP from you when they do it. This take sounds a little biased, if not hypocritical.

Whoa, what? You are claiming it is not illegal? Now you need to cite your sources.

[frank ryan]

Comey and James had their cases dismissed. Can Trump refrain from acting like a dictator and drop the punishment persecutions?

[frank ryan]

No worries. The Department of War is on top of this.

That's just vile. Hegseth does not belong in any position of public trust.

Of course not. I am expecting him to rage against the lunatic liberal leftist judges who are ruining America.

I have asked for sources and for unlawful action. Have gotten zilch. Don’t flip the coin on me here. No one has yet to tell me an unlawful order has been given.

As for Trump and Vance is in the military. Give me an example. Happy to tell you my opinion. But again, you may see that I find it in bad form too. Not to the level I see this but who knows..

Assessing the Facts and Legal Questions About the U.S. Strikes on Alleged Drug Boats

It is reasonable to question whether or not the Trump administration is putting military personnel in legal jeopardy.

Beyond the military, there is this:

Judge dismisses Comey, James indictments after finding that prosecutor was illegally appointed

https://apnews.com/article/comey-jam...0ade15e20745b5

"The orders do not concern the substance of the allegations against Comey or James but instead deal with the unconventional manner in which the prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, was named to her position as interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. Defense lawyers said the Trump administration had no legal authority to make the appointment. In a pair of similar rulings, Currie agreed and said the invalid appointment required the dismissal of the cases."

I get the "innnocent until proven guilty" assertion here, but when the people who would be in charge of charging and proving guilt are Kash Patel, Pam Bondi, and Todd Blanche, there isn't much chance the question of guilt is ever even asked.

If the killings on the Caribbean Sea are legal, why did they chose to release and not prosecute the two survivors? It definitely brings into question whether they actually have the evidence they claim to have that these are narco-terrorists, as gray as that term may be.

That's the incomprehensible part. Doesn't that prove their assurances false? If only 'narco-terrorists' are being targeted how come they've sent innocents back?

All the people who rightfully kvetched about the Iraq war, here is an opportunity to call out an unnecessary disaster before it starts.

[dabrockster]

I am curious to know what the opinion of the María Corina Machado (Noble Winner) is on our Military stance on Venezuela as well as the Narco Terrorist actions Trump has been doing.

Seems she is in support of our military action and has also spoken out in favor of what she calls a “Transition” of power from Maduro.

To me, I think it is just another inch towards what I think is WWIII actions or a prelude to all our war. These are mini-actions to position ourselves better for when it become Lana war against China.

Russia invading Ukraine, China visiting Venezuela, and now the possible movement of regime change at the action of America. Will we actually send troops. I think Trump is posturing and hoping Maduro exits and goes to Cuba to live out is life or in some safe-haven country.

But, I won’t put it past him to take him out by Assassination. I mean, he blew up Irans facilities. I just hope all the ducks of the post power-struggle is in place to ensure we don’t have him replaced by another dictator.

Lastly, this is not even comparable to Iraq. This is not the Middle East.
