This reckless and illegal bombing in international waters because "Trump ordered it"has got to stop!!!!
We can fact check Trump on some of his claims related to this and bust him (Imagine that, Donald Trump telling lies to support an unhinged agenda)

He has sharedaerialvideos of some of the boat strikes on Truth Social, and no bags of drugs are visible in the videos.
Additionally, most illicit fentanyl in the U.S. comes from Mexico, not Venezuela. It enters the U.S. mainly through the southern border at official ports of entry, and it’s smuggled in mostly by U.S. citizens, according to the U.S. Sentencing Commission.
We rate Trump’s statement Pants on Fire!
There is no credible factual or legal argument that the United States is engaged in an armed conflict with any drug cartel under international law.
+++++++++++++++++
No one is under any illusions that anyone in the administration is likely to listen to the voices across the political spectrum who agree with this conclusion: Vice President (and Yale Law graduate) JD Vance declared he doesn’t “give a s---” whether the strikes are illegal. But it is critical that the rest of us refuse to treat these strikes as a new normal. Everyone who cares about the rule of law and human rights must continue to press for transparency, accountability and an immediate end to this illegal and lethal campaign.
Whatever the government now says in an attempt to cover its tracks does not magically unlock legal authority to use force.

"he doesn’t “give a s---” whether the strikes are illegal."

Exactly HOW KINGS ACT!!!!

"I was elected to have a voice, so I continue to be a voice, like on the bombing of the Venezuelan boats. I think that's inappropriate. War with Venezuela, without Congress weighing in, is inappropriate," Paul said, singling out an area where he disagrees with the president.
This past week, Trump confirmed the CIA is conducting covert operations inside Venezuela, in addition to multiple strikes on boats accused of carrying drugs.
"If our policy now is to blow up every ship we suspect or accuse of drug running, that would be a bizarre world in which 25% of the people might be innocent," Paul said, voicing his opposition to the policy. "It is the difference between war and peace. If [the administration] want all-out war, where we kill anybody and everybody in the country or coming out of Venezuela, that has to have a declaration of war. It's something that is not pretty, is very expensive, and I'm not in favor o the current war on Venezuela. Congress should vote, the president shouldn't do this by himself."

Whatever happened to “Senator” Rand Paul? He was never great, but he went really BAD! I got him elected, TWICE (in the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky!), but he just never votes positively for the Republican Party. He’s a nasty liddle’ guy, much like “Congressman” Thomas Massie, aka Rand Paul Jr., also of Kentucky (which I won three times, in massive landslides!), a sick Wacko, who refuses to vote for our great Republican Party, MAGA, or America First. It’s really weird!!!
