The Constitution Does Not Allow the President To Unilaterally Blow Suspected Drug Smugglers to Smithereens

“Somewhere off the coast of Venezuela, a speedboat with 11 people on board is blown to smithereens. Vice President J.D. Vance announces that “killing cartel members who poison our fellow citizens is the highest and best use of our military.”
When challenged that killing citizens without due process is a war crime, the vice president responded that he “didn’t give a shit.”

But over 20,000 people are murdered in the U.S. each year, and yet somehow we find a way to a dispassionate dispensation of justice that includes legal representation for the accused and jury trial.

Why? Because sometimes the accused is actually not guilty.

As passions subside, a civilized people should ask: To be clear, the people bombed to smithereens were guilty, right?

The administration has maintained that the people blown to smithereens were members of Tren de Aragua and therefore narcoterrorists.

Certainly, then, if we know they belong to a particular gang, then someone must surely have known their names before they were blown to smithereens?

At the very least, the government should explain how the gang came to be labelled as terrorists. U.S. law defines a terrorist as someone who uses “premeditated, politically motivated violence…against non-combatants.” Since the U.S. policy is now to blow people to smithereens if they are suspected of being in a terrorist gang, then maybe someone could take the time to explain the evidence of their terrorism?

Few independent legal scholars argue the strikes are legal. Even John Yoo—a former deputy assistant attorney general under President George W. Bush, who infamously authored the Bush administration’s legal justification for “enhanced interrogation techniques”—has criticized the Trump administration’s justification for the strikes, saying: “There has to be a line between crime and war. We can’t just consider anything that harms the country to be a matter for the military. Because that could potentially include every crime.””

Tylenol is the Cause of Autism! (According to Trump and RFK Jr.)

RFK and Trump are spewing bullshit about autism and misinforming the public.

RFK and Trump are spewing bullshit about vaccines and misinforming the public.

RFK and Trump are spewing bullshit about medicine and disease, misinforming the public.

RFK chose two less rigorous studies to justify his advice on Tylenol while ignoring larger, more rigorous studies that find no association between Tylenol and ADHD or autism.

Fever can harm the unborn child and even cause miscarriage. Tylenol can prevent that by lowering the fever. Because Trump told women to not take Tylenol, some women won’t take it when they should, with bad consequences.

Why Trump & Vance Are Suddenly SILENT About This Church Shooting

When a shooter can be viewed as of the left, or is an illegal immigrant, or Muslim, Trump and Trump supporters talk about the shooter and jump to conclusions about what this means about their political opponents or groups in society they don’t like. When the shooter is a Trump supporter…crickets.

Attack at a Mormon church in Michigan leaves at least 1 dead, 9 injured

“At least one person was killed and nine were injured when a gunman attacked a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints service in Michigan on Sunday morning, police said. The shooter was killed by police.

Authorities say the 40-year-old male suspect rammed his vehicle through the front doors of the church in Grand Blanc Township, about 60 miles northwest of Detroit, before exiting and opening fire with an “assault rifle” on the hundreds of worshippers inside.

Grand Blanc Township Police Chief William Renye said investigators believe the suspect also deliberately set fire to the church, which appeared engulfed in flames in photos and videos shared on social media.”
