So, they are easily tricked into following whatever narrative the gop is pushing.
Right now, everybody is focused on :
1) Was striking a second time to kill survivors of the Venezuelan boat attack a war crime
2) Were the people on these boats drug traffickers .
Both of these are besides the point. The act of striking a civilian boat in international waters is already a crime.
They can intercept and board the boats ( even that is questionable in international waters) but definitely not slaughter people arbitrarily.
Likewise, the president can not just declare a group , a terrorist group and then use that to say he is authorized to kill them. No guards and barriers.
Anyhow, as usual the magats are going to get away with it.

If stopping drug influx were the point, he wouldn't have just pardoned that shitbag

That was mine but thanks for putting it up. I lack the ability. The rattles are a nice touch.

Always pay attention to what they don't say, if you are of a mind to watch them lie

Yeah if any used their brains they would realize this was murder. No proof they are drug dealers,
