Trump Boat Bombing Takes Darker Turn as Damning New Info Emerges

As Trump's decision to kill 11 alleged drug smugglers in the Caribbean Sea suddenly starts looking even worse, a legal expert explains how brazenly Trump is stretching the law -- and why it's so unnerving.

DoD officials briefing congressional staff about last week's US military strike on a boat in the Caribbean did not present conclusive evidence that the targets of the attack were members of Tren de Aragua, according to the senior Democratic member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and sources.

Donald Trump murders people.

His excuse is that they are (if you trust him) bad people.

Well, Donald has called an awful lot of people bad, hasn't he?

Especially in the last forty-eight hours.

He is going to murder some more.

As time goes on, the idea that Trump murdered Epstein becomes less a conspiracy theory and more the realization that that's exactly the sort of thing a man like him would do.

Seems to me that they should have been able to collect some drug evidence and/or gang membership evidence at the scene but so far no such reports coming from any government source. Also, they specifically mentionened Phentanyl but isn't virtually all of that coming from China?

"He is going to murder some more."

Truer words have never been spoken.

However, the GOP controlled Congress will never revolt and admit that Trump has gone bonkers.

Maybe they're more worried about which one of them is going to be next, especially after the Kirk murder in Utah.

Look at that boat. There is no way drugs were smuggled on it. It had no storage like at all

It was a small attack to see what he can get away with.

A test of the guardrails so to speak.

If he thinks he can Escalation in inevitable.

I think he's trying to completely destroy rule of Law and become the law himself.

Why anyone would want that is incomprehensible to me.

Why give a vicious Moron absolute power over millions? Tiny hands on the Nuclear football.

Who benefits?

I am sure that lfthndthrds has a ready, and sane, explanation for you.

Now please remember that the question on the table is---

"(Why) he's (Trump) trying to completely destroy rule of Law and become the law himself"

Knock yourself out answering or evading.

I said it before and I'll say it again.

We're never going to know the truth about why that boat was blown up.

Probably putting on his "tough guy" pants to scare the President of Venezuela, Maduro.

With a secondary motive of diverting the media from Epstein, Epstein, Epstein 24/7/365.

#13 | Posted by Twinpac at 2025-09-14 05:28 AM

Maybe.

But I do wonder who was actually on that boat.

According to this slightly dated DEA report, less than 10% of US-bound cocaine flows through Venezuela and the Eastern Caribbean corridor. The UNODC informs: "A majority of the coca bush, from which cocaine is derived, is cultivated in Colombia, followed by Peru and Bolivia. The main routes of cocaine trafficking in 2023 and 2024 into the US passed through Colombia, Peru and Ecuador, rather than Venezuela."

But Venezuela is rich in other resources: oil, minerals, and natural gas.

I almost forgot.
John Roberts and the SCOTUS Coup Coalition gave Trump a Get Out Of Jail Free card.
So killing 11 people in a boat in international waters for, well, we don't know ... .
That's cool with SCOTUS.
Welcome to la repblica bananera.

"But I do wonder who was actually on that boat."

From the picture that was posted it looks rather small to have a crew of 11.

DOC

The immunity decision, if I recall, was only for acts carried out in the line of his presidential duties.

Sinking that ship and killing all on board might need some explanation if anybody cares to delve into the legal battle.

It will be interesting to see if anybody tries to raise that ship from the bottom . . or send divers down to get forensic photo evidence.

Trump is a sadist who gets aroused watching lesser people suffer.

Adolph Trumpf watching the "barbarian" Houthis get "annihilated."
