They are literally just blowing people up for fun. It's so gross. It's all lies.

If the U.S. was at war with Venezuela, this would be a war crime. But the U.S. is not at war with Venezuela, so this is mass murder, pure and simple.

We want their oil. Same old story. Trump wants credit for seizing the oil fields, the world’s richest. So Congress will have selective amnesia, as always.

Edited to remove "We" It's not we, the people, it's they, the US government, who also doesn't want anyone who won't go along with the US empire to be allowed to succeed. They must be made to pay as a lesson to show any other independent-minded nation, which might attempt to do the same, just what is going to happen to them if they do.

Maybe the boat wasn’t even carrying drugs. Has any evidence been presented showing that it was?

These are the big bullies playing king of the hill and masters of the universe, they do it at home in the USA and want to play it all over the world. Trump and Hegseth are the brutal bullies who are due for a beat down by anyone able to deliver their own medicine, they deserve to be slapped in the face like the bitches they are. They will have to answer to a higher authority than themselves and will face real justice, sooner or later.

Unhappily, it is "we." We let this happen.

When has the American government cared about facts, laws, human rights, or democracy...other than when the DNC and RNC can use them to pretend they're different from one another?

Note that both of America's parties agreeing on the same lie doesn't make it truth, though they'd like people to think that.

Thank you for staying abreast of this, Shaun! Utterly disgraceful--murder in the first degree! It's the work of sadistic idiots--I agree with you doing it "for fun!" They're kind of fun. It's pitiful, really.

Even if boatloads of drugs were going to the usa, people don’t have to buy and use them. You should educate the people who are most likely to become drug users. If there’s no market for a product, that product will cease to be offered.

We need an option for a one time donation. Some of us can’t commit to recurring donations but can do so on a sporadic basis.

By a country that's sinking at an astronomical rate...let it drown in its Zionist blood!

VIVA VENEZUELA, fight the terrorists and don't give up, the world is with you! ✊🏽

Oh come on, protecting other countries from drugs is clearly in the US's interest. It needs foreign leaders ALERT so they will give us all their resources in exchange for building trump hotels for them. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

‘Other countries’ neither want nor need the usa to act on their behalf. We would rather the usa minded its own business.

Susan Linehan's avatar

And you would rather we do so in exponentially increasing numbers.

What is the climate effect of detonating and blowing up things

What is the ecological consequences of pollution from drug boats losing cargo into the sea

Are drugs thrown overboard bad for the life aquatic?

🇺🇸✨ Democracy Thrives When Communities Unite✨🇺🇸

In a land we all know, though a bit topsy-turvy,

Three leaders stood shouting—Trump, Rubio, and Musk-y.

“Let’s leave NATO now! Send your dollars our way!”

To private-run buddies who profit each day.

They shrugged at our soldiers, our friends, and allies,

Ignored those who fought ‘neath democracy’s skies.

They forgot WWII, Afghan vets, and our kin,

As they chased personal profits with executive whims.

They stirred up our neighbors with spiteful divides,

With words sharp as daggers, and hate on all sides.

They cheered when our fellow Americans fought,

And spoon-fed the nation conspiracies taught.

But we seniors remember what government meant—

A promise to help every life Heaven-sent.

Back in 1935, under Roosevelt’s hand,

Social Security lifted this beautiful land.

It sheltered the elders, the children in need,

And helped everyday families survive, grow, and lead.

So when they say “old rules,” return to the past,

They’re aiming to shatter protections that last.

Returning America to pre-1935 view,

Means “You’re on your own” for both me and for you.

But we—yes, we grandparents—step into the light,

With truth in our pockets and facts shining bright.

We’ll remind every household what fairness once meant,

What love for our neighbors and freedom once sent.

So gather your families, your children full-grown—

Keep courage, stay steady, don’t walk this alone.

For democracy thrives when our voices unite,

And we pass down the truth with our hearts burning bright. ✨🇺🇸

Ok, they just admitted what we already knew. But what is important will this have any consequences ??? Will anyone (if not Potus himself) be charged for war crime ??? Of course no!!! They admitted it because they know they won't risk anything. They want to look like the good guys who blow the whistle on these crimes.

Let them lie as they wish. Their base (and they really are base) will not care. They will keep power by any means, and kill; and lie. Until the world stands up and says "No mas."
