    It’s murder even if someone is likely involved in drug trafficking. Nobody involved has been tried or convicted, and the penalty for drug trafficking is not death in any civilized country.

    Usually you have this thing called due process that helps you figure out whether or not the accused are actually criminals.

      Not in international waters, you don’t.

      There, the US gets to kill brown people indiscriminately.

    Way to be 8 months behind, dipshit. As one of my two senators, what are you doing about it? As one of the senators who voted to reopen the government when everybody was on board with keeping it shut down until the right shit got funded, are you starting to understand how fucking wrong you were? Do something of value or fuck off.

      He wrote a letter to Trump!

      What do you expect him to do? Loudly demand that this war be ended TODAY, and loudly demand that his fellow Democrats join him, and vote against EVERYTHING until this war is fully ended, close down the government, close down everything until we stop committing world-class terrorism?

      Nah, a letter should do it.

        A letter that gives Trump an out by saying he didn’t order anything illegal. About as useful as herpes.

      The government’s reaction to the Trump regime reeks of weaponized incompetence.

      Tbf, that’s almost 34 years further than the “every election takes place in 1992” Clintonite “Centrist” bastard usually is 🤷🏻

    Aside from the whole No-Shit-Sherlock aspect to this…

    The strikes have killed at least 218 people, according to ABC News’ count.

    The Pentagon has spent over $820 million on the campaign

    Really? More than 3.75 million dollars per “enemy” killed would be a complete boondoggle even if they were valid targets.

      The double-tap was definitely a war crime. Attacking people in the water after their vessel was hit is literally the example they use in the part of the US Navy’s manual in the section where they define war crimes.

    Elect conservatives (regressives), get war crimes.

    And higher costs of living.

    And more transmissible diseases.

    And infringed rights.

      Every day. That isn’t even new for this administration, although they’re more open about not giving a fuck that it happens, and that it’s part of the plan.
