    Still don’t see why it’s necessary to blow up a drug boat in the first place let alone kill everyone on board.

      it’s a bad idea but I think they think it’s a strong deterrent. “You try to traffic drugs here - you will die” sort of mentality

      This obviously is a poor strategy for a dozen of other reasons but they are simple, stupid people so to them simple stupid solutions are very attractive especially if it scratches their need for cruelty and racial superiority.

      Because they’re not drug boats. They’re alleged drug boats. But “innocent until proven guilty” doesn’t fit the project 2025 agenda.

        This is just a spin on Obama’s drone strikes, it’s not unique to Republicans or project 2025.

        Project 2025 is about turning America into an authoritarian fascist country, but the worldwide terrorism is bipartisan.

        They think that if someone commits a crime they have moral immunity and are free to do whatever they want to prevent it. It’s very telling that they take that false assumption and commit the worst possible crimes they can come up with in response.

        This man is a “Christian” by the way.
