Nothing proves the Trump administration is made of mean whims based on lies better than a president who is murdering people in boats "because I am so strongly against drug trafficking" pardoning someone who trafficked more drugs than a hundred fishing boats could carry.

Only those with a killer’s mindset would rant against laws designed to protect innocent lives. If someone insists there are no statutes preventing the taking of a life without due process, you’re not debating a legal scholar, you’re staring straight into the eyes of a cold-blooded murderer!

This regime sees a world full of bad guys (oddly enough, mostly non-white) so evil & unredeemable that they are doing us the valuable service of killing, deporting, humiliating, imprisoning & dehumanizing them without wasting tax dollars on due process. They are bewildered that we are so ungrateful.

But yet, Trump is about to pardon the ex-president of Honduras who was found guilty of sending hundreds of tons of cocaine to the US. I guess poor guys on little boats don't have the funds to bribe the President of the US.

This is a highly unusual order from a Secretary of Defense, and it’s almost certainly a war crime.
In the strike in question, two people survived and were clinging to the side of the ruined boat, and a second mission was spun up to execute them.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.
