Seth Harp: "The fishermen targeted for summary execution by the CIA had been boarded, searched, and cleared by the Ecuadorian coast guard earlier in the day. But the Americans' garbage AI drone technology decided for some unknown reason that they were drug traffickers who had to die."

This is a serious problem that Sen. Tim Kaine called murder and that I called #CaribbeanSlaughter. Many people in the United States are ignoring it, paying more attention to other deadly blunders by Trump, including the #IranWar.

"Sen. Tim Kaine sounded the alarm about the death toll of dozens of strikes the United States military has launched on alleged drug trafficking boats in the last year. 'A careful review of the available evidence suggests that the United States has killed individuals who are not involved in narcotrafficking,' Kaine wrote in a letter to Pres. Donald Trump. 'They are murder victims'.”:

The Trump Administration engaged in murder and terrorism in an attempt to stop illegal drugs, but "the United States' military’s deadly strikes on alleged drug-trafficking vessels have done little to curb the supply of cocaine in the United States":

Why would Trump and Hegseth take the extreme action of trying to reduce the retirement pay that a Senator receives? Because Sen. Kelly reminded people in the #military that they should not follow unlawful orders, and Trump and Hegseth may plan to issue unlawful orders to our military personnel.

Trump's unjustified aggression towards #Venezuela
is a real setback to his hope of being
awarded the #NobelPeaceaPrize.
What Donald Trump deserves is a war crimes trial.
#CaribbeanSlaughter + #terrorism = #Trump

Stephen Miller (now a top Trump White House official) tweeted on November 1, 2024:
"This isn’t complicated. If you vote for Kamala, Liz Cheney becomes defense secretary. We invade a dozen countries. Boys in Michigan are drafted to fight boys in the Middle East."

Donald Trump is acting more aggressively than what Democrats would have done.
Examples: #Venezuela #Iran #Nigeria #CaribbeanSlaughter. #politics

REPORTER: "Mr. President, do you have a New Year's resolution?"

PRES. TRUMP: "Peace. Peace on Earth."

Chris Menahan: "Soon afterwards, Trump ordered the bombing of Venezuela."
#TrumpLiedPeopleDied #politics #CaribbeanSlaughter

A good #NewYearsResolution for Donald Trump would be: "No more coldblooded killing of petty criminals after blowing their little boat to smithereens in the Caribbean" according to Bob Garfield, but it looks like Trump prefers those killings to continue.

As Clay Bennett pointed out in his new #PoliticalCartoon,
it is hard to win the #NobelPeacePrize when you
have as much blood on your hands as Donald Trump has.

I enjoy watching #Survivor on #television. My favorite contestant won this season's competition.

Here are tough but fair comments that Survivor's host could say to the bloodthirsty Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
#recklessness #CaribbeanSlaughter #WarCrimes

Rev. Dr. William Barber asked: "How is it that someone accused of drug trafficking gets executed without a trial but someone convicted of the same thing gets a pardon?"

The answer appears to be that for Donald Trump, bribery opens all doors, including prison doors.

The hashtag I use for those executions by Trump is: #CaribbeanSlaughter.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said about the second strike in the Caribbean: "Of course we're not going to release a top secret, full unedited video of that to the general public."

Joyce Vance wrote: "Translation: We know what we did was wrong."

More than wrong: experts said it was either a war crime or murder. If our government killed them during a war, it is a war crime. If this was not part of a war, it is murder.

You, @wesdym, wrote about Venezuela: "That might be Marco's motives, but he's very weak in this regime, and I doubt his interests are worth much."

Sen. Rand Paul, a Republican, opposes Trump's military action against Venezuela. On #MeetThePress today he blamed Secretary of State Marco Rubio for Trump's aggressive (and I think illegal) military actions against Venezuela and nearby boats. I agree with Rand Paul about this.

What a spokesman for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth might say:
"Drugs = bad. Cool boat bombing video = good. We look like warriors. Case closed."

"No matter its ill effects here at home, cocaine trafficking is not an act of war against the United States, and it is not terrorism. Under longstanding U.S. law, it is an activity that is deterred and punished via criminal prosecution in our courts. Drug boats are appropriately interdicted by boarding them on the high seas and seizing their cargo, not via missile strikes":

Jamelle Bouie: "Even under the most expansive vision of the unitary executive, Article II does not grant the president the right to make a unilateral designation that someone is a terrorist and is going to be murdered by the state. That’s not a power the president has. They blew up this boat but we have no idea who these people were. They could have just been innocent fishermen."
