Shitler Authorizes Military Force Against Cartels

Saturday, August 09, 2025

President Donald Trump has ordered the US military to take direct actions against Latin American cartels, including conducting operations on foreign soil. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has labeled Venezuelan President Maduro the leader of a cartel and is offering a $50 million reward for his capture. The New York Times reports, "President Trump has secretly signed a directive to the Pentagon to begin using military force against certain Latin American drug cartels that his administration has deemed terrorist organizations."

The Sheriff of Bagdad says this is a very bad idea. He believes we're going to hurt if we try this.

"Mexico has said US military would not be entering its territory following reports that President Donald Trump had directed the Pentagon to target Latin American drug cartels.

"The United States is not going to come to Mexico with the military," President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Friday. "We co-operate, we collaborate, but there is not going to be an invasion. That is ruled out, absolutely ruled out."

Time to get rid of the over-abused Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF). The people of the US, through Congress, should decide when to wage war on an enemy to take their lives. That's how a democracy is supposed to work and what the framers of the US Constitution originally wanted. Trumpf will abuse this power for three and a half more years, making more enemies for the US.

Naww. It's ok. Let our big daddy warbucks decide if our children live or die.

I'm busy. I have to get to my pod cast and listen to a master debater explain to me how it all works.

As an aside where in the constitution does it say the president can unilaterally raise massive taxes? It's it literally insane

People aren't even discussing the tariff thing anymore

------- just created a whole REGRESSIVE tax. And it barely gets a mention

Our country should not work this way

Again the magat scum cut the taxes for the wealthy and raised taxes on the poor and middle classes

Thanks magat scum

"People aren't even discussing the tariff thing anymore"

Oh it's being discussed. There is just no point I discussing it with the maga morons here.

It was a big topic on Bill Mahers show this weekend. George Will even mentioned how it wasn't even constitutional for trumpy to do it. But he is doing it anyway.

But you are right in that no one (Congress) is doing a damn thing about it because Congress has given their authority on this over to the president.

Remember this:
www.nbcnews.com

The US military will be used to snuff out the competition of the cartels that bend the knee.
Like every action Trump has ever taken, policy is dictated by what Trump has to gain or lose.
There is no bottom. Nothing is too low or off limits. He'll do anything that benefits him personally; Including but not limited to partnering with cartels.
