Pleased to speak to @nickturse.bsky.social about USG rescue efforts for the survivors of boat strikes.

"It does not appear as if they were eager to rescue additional survivors and then be faced with the question of what do we do with them?'"[image or embed]

"Last fall, the Trump administration produced a classified legal opinion that justified the lethal strikes against a secret list of at least two dozen cartels and suspected drug traffickers classifying them as enemy combatants, CNN has reported."

Sorry, taking the word of these murderous clowns just isn't possible.

In addition, see "Even Bush's Torture Guy Thinks Trump's Boat Strikes Cross the Line" (newrepublic.com).

The Trump administration is murdering Americans in our own streets and lying to cover it up. No reason to believe them about the people on the boats.

Why is FIFA 2026 still on schedule? Who is coming from where to a murderous country that will have heavily-armed, masked ICE goons at every event?

so 11 narco-terrorists are at the bottom floor....hopefully in 20 pieces a person.

that should equate to a couple of thousand lives saved by trump.

that equates to a couple of hundred kids to reenact the hitler youth movement4

instead of being in class.

so the chairwoman of the RETORT ladies auxiliary says that the potus doing his top

constitutional responsibility of defending out borders is 'murder'

--sound right.

This is putting innocent US citizens in more danger in the long term.

#14 | Posted by sentinel at 2026-02-17 04:50 PM

It should be made clear to everyone from Hegseth to the man or woman pulling the trigger that these murders are illegal, murder has not statute of limitations and everyone WILL be held accountable.

#15 | Posted by truthhurts at 2026-02-17 04:58 PM

I was told by many reliable sources that the military would refuse flagrantly illegal orders.

Yet, here we are

During WWII, many of our pilots proudly painted "Murder, Inc" on the sides of their fighters and bombers, except the Tuskegee pilots who painted the tails of their planes red.

The Germans shot down such a Murder Inc-decorated bomber and got a small propaganda piece out of it, saying that all Americans were gangsters.

#3 Coriolanus: If you follow ticket sales at all, it is obvious that the FIFA World Cup has become almost wholly a corporate affair. Regular soccer/football fans even from America are barely welcome.

We get 10% of our cocaine from there.

And that's about it for our drugs.

So how is this protecting us?

And how is pardoning other drug traffickers protecting us?

Hi Moder8

Thanks for that info about FIFA.

Remarkable that a country blowing things up in Africa, the Caribbean, and soon the Middle East, and a nation that abducted the leader of a foreign country, wouldn't be sanctioned by FIFA and the IOC as a Rogue nation and Pariah state.

Look at Russia.
