We are not at war with Venezuela, yet. The boats are civilian craft. The U.S. criminal code does not maintain a death penalty for drug smuggling. Due process is required before conviction or sentence.
All of the 80 people killed thus far are wanton murders slain under illegal orders. All of them.

So many of us are looking at this type of situation, to our own extremes.
I am on state insurance and have a complex form of epilepsy.
My three medications if not covered would cost more than my rent. Not to mention testing they have me do, visits.
No one survives alone.

the U.S. government illegally killed him. His relatives say Alejandro Carranza was on a routine fishing trip, and his wife told reporters he left home to fish and had no ties to drug trafficking.

Here are US military lawyers stating clearly that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's "kill everybody" orders are either (1) war crimes or (2) murder.
Either way, expect prosecutions in the future.

1st, you've probably heard this before, but pay in cash when you can. Every time you swipe or tap it costs the store, eh, 2-4% of the total of the transaction. That may not sound like much but for small businesses 2-5% can be the difference between being nervous & comfortable, even open or closed...

It’s a pattern.
Nov 14, aboard Air Force One, Trump told Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey, “Quiet. Quiet, piggy.”
It’s not new. He called Miss Universe Alicia Machado “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping.”
He’s called women “fat pigs,” “dogs,” “slobs,” and “disgusting animals.”
This from 2016…

Just so were clear - its not even debatable ...you can not order the Military to attack American citizens for political reasons - they have a right to protest and a right to express their political positions & grievances even against the governments & Presidents wishes that they shouldn't

Soldiers who believe they’ve been given an illegal or unconstitutional order should consult with the GI Rights Hotline at 1-877-447-4487. This applies to all branches of the military, including reservists and National Guard members.
