Hegseth BRAGGED he killed helpless survivers

@Suzianne said
I'm sorry for that, but y'all need proof of concept before you start murdering Venezuelans.

Venezuelan drug smugglers.

@Suzianne said
Care to show us these drugs coming from Venezuela?

You're the one trying to justify murder.

Head buried in the sand?

There was one fishing boat. And these are war crimes.

disagree.

You for one should personally be against illegal drugs coming in.

Family members and all that.

Drugs are ruining families and lives but go ahead and stick up for the dictator who ate a sandwhich on TV while his citizens are starving.

@AverageJoe1 said
No, your interpretation, such as it is, says differently.

You must have missed my missive that the perpetrators (in this case) must be 'within' our country.

You're wrong. In a series of cases starting more than 20 years ago, the SCOTUS ruled that persons captured on foreign soil who the US government claimed were "enemy combatants" were entitled to hearings with due process protections to dispute such allegations even though they had never been transported inside the US.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boumediene_v._Bush#:~:text=In%20a%206%E2%80%933%20decision,classified%20as%20%22enemy%20combatants%22.

And that was in a military action specifically authorized by Congress unlike Trump's illegal war.

Then people should stop taking them.

That people in the US keep insisting on doing so doesn't justify the government murdering people on the high seas or anywhere else.

Are you suggesting that Venezuelan drug smugglers are not Venezuelan?

Whatever, nit pick it to death. Hey, every human on earth.....educate us and tell us, at what light-bulb point does the due process right affix thereto?

No, I am saying these ones are.

If it were that easy...wouldn't that be great.

Why don't alcoholics just stop drinking?

I presumed your intellect was higher than you are showing.

I think anyone that threatens the lives of American's should be killed, high seas, low seas or on land.

It is not up to you our anyone else here to make criminal or defense claims against Hegseth. The investigation folks will do that and OF COURSE a nice tame Trumpette will defend ANYONE associated with Trump with ZERO defense data, ONLY the word of your Lord Trump, your mentor and partner in crime.

TDS, TDS, TDS

I never mentioned Trump.

You however ignored, went around what I said to you. Family members and all. What a shame how little you really care about their struggles.

Wrong. I was showing your ignorance and stupidity in your statement. Keep deflecting

What was shown was that you made a statement you thought made a nice sound bite but that you don't really believe. Voluntary consumption of tobacco products kills almost 5 times as many Americans per year as voluntary consumption of recreational drugs and alcohol consumption about twice as many.

Problem is that our government has deemed tobacco a legal substance. Cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl are all illegal.

Do i think tobacco kills more people? absolutely. The problem is that our government is greedy and can tax that product. They only care about the almighty dollar.

You are the one who made a stupid statement by saying they should just quit doing drugs, and I pointed that out.
