They have no idea what boats they blew up in the Caribbean!

They didn’t care either! Just like Iran, which hardly made an impact, Trump and his war monger Hegseth just did what they wanted! Well, Venezuela gave Trump a surprise when they flew planes over our Navy ships off the coast of Venezuelan territory!

On one hand I am not shocked because of the regime that is our administration presently--their utter incompetence and arrogance. Don't even get me started on their 'ideology' and grievances. They remind me of the Stanford Experiment, but done with guys who are stupid and egocentric to begin with. This is a worse outcome and their are no stops in place.
We need help.

Insane FelonTraitorTrump’s unlawful orders
must be immediately Court Martialed.
👇🏻
According to the Uniform Code of
Military Justice (UCMJ) and Military Law,
U.S. service members are required to disobey
“patently unlawful” orders and can be Court Martialed for obeying them.

How long before enough people hear the voice of conscience for this nation to stop tolerating the intolerable?

...
Maritime law

The US is not a signatory to United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, but the Department of Defense has previously said the US should “act in a manner consistent with its provisions.".

“Force can be used to stop a boat but generally this should be non-lethal measures,” said Luke Moffett of Queens University Belfast, and the use of aggressive tactics must be “reasonable and necessary in self-defence”.

Human rights law

Prof Moffett also says the use of force could amount to an “extrajudicial arbitrary killing” and “a fundamental violation of human rights”.

Under Article 2(4) of the UN charter, countries can resort to force when under attack and are exercising their military in self-defence.

But Prof Michael Becker of Trinity College Dublin told BBC Verify the US operation “stretches the meaning of the term beyond its breaking point”.

“The fact that US officials describe the individuals killed by the US strike as narco-terrorists does not transform them into lawful military targets,” he said...

Mission is too formal of a word. How about the clown show killers.
We know nothing about you, but we will kill you anyway. Say good bye to the family.
Assholes.
Trump and lackey's must go...

The are perpetrating countless horrors across the executive branch every f-ing hour.

Only a fraction of what they are doing reaches the headlines.

How many good people were forced out of their federal job this week?

How many demon clown posse hires this week?

How many people seeking help with social security or Medicare issues were unable to get someone on the phone?

How many weather events in the making are going undetected?

How many people snatched by ICE?

And the list goes on.

Someway, somehow, we need to figure out ways to track and tally the cruelties too small to make headlines, but far to numerous to be tolerated.
