The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no evidence they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had proof, they’d face a court, not a drone.

The law still applies, even to suspected drug traffickers, and right now, the Administration’s story isn’t adding up.

“When Trump defeated the GOP establishment a decade ago, the conquered went along grudgingly, maintaining their capacity to be privately appalled. But over the years, acquiescence appears to have bled inward—and before long, they were conquered on the inside, too.”

I just get the feeling that if a Democratic president had a section of the White House torn down in order to build a giant golden ballroom paid for by secret donations from billionaires, there might be more of an outcry than the shrug Trump's getting for doing the same.
