But since you put it out there....


if you mean being a neocon warmonger you might be right!! how did Iraq 2.0 work out ... for Iraq?



bahahahaaa

Your repub buddies who pulled the trigger and started that stonewalling answering you?


How do you know it means nothing?

Nothing illegal about being on a boat in the sea.
And what they experienced is totally out of proportion for not having a license if they are fishing.

is the boat illegal if the cargo is illegal?

As I stated and you won't answer (since you'd have a heaping load of 'nuttin:

Got evidence of that?
Nope.

Just had to ask because ima still laughing at that one.

Yupper. When he took the rightful job away from the Coast Guard, he illegally started a vigilantie (sp) group to do his bidding and got butthurt by people who were in the military quoting off UCMJ. At least one Admiral wasn't going to have it and followed said law.

Oh, I love it when a reasoned reply is given to people(s) kneejerk reactions that only follow what they believe is the way things are suppose to be. This is why maggies have such a hard time and whine/rage all the time: they are so 'effin lazy and won't do the legwork because it is too hard for them.

Until congress authorizes action against Venezuela and its supposed drug boats everything Trump has authorized is likely illegal and Unconstitutional. Pete Hegseth is the just the stooge that Trump has gotten to do the dirty work.

Hegseth needs to be replaced but I’m not sure that he would be replaced with someone else who would be willing to tell Trump and his cronies the truth about their actions.

You just keep scoring there TxDot.

Cause it's like that.

Hey Duc, where you been? Don't remember seeing you post of late.

You got the problem nailed with the guy and the whole slew of people surrounding donny. It's a Cult of Personality. They are looking like the guys that yes manned for Stalin more and more everyday.

Schwarzkopf I don't think would have done that... he would have resigned first.

Both guys were fundamentally good people. Can't fail either of them for actions that got an inordinate number of people killed. Schwarzkopf could have probably had a better resolution to the shooting war in Iraq if briefed better on Boyds OODA loop. And you are correct about Powell being an unwilling pawn for Dub-U to justify actions in that country.

Thank you, *AGAIN* for confirming that you know that there is not a source you can quote for what the quick say.

Maggies all renown commend you for following foxy tactics of pushing intentional lies.

Oh. The demanding prissy attitude you keep rearing.
I have been so civil and polite to remind you that I have been patiently waiting to answer such petulant request from you in great breadth and depth *WHEN* you produce the tucky FCC license.

Funny that he always ignore/forgets the media outlets I pay attention to. The big one that has the most news viewers that gave the finger to donny is the one I try to get national news from. Not the oldest news name that the kangaroo kicker bought to give himself faux cred here in the States that fucked themselves in the ass with credibility with that near $1 billion payout.

Hegseth had said he would not release the video of the "kill them all" mop up strike on the burning Venezuelan boat with two people clinging to the wreckage.

Of course.

Lock him up!

[pxmcc]

^^+1 sir..

Heggy's problem is he and the Melange One have clearly stated we're at war with the drug runners whose boats they're sinking. rules of war state that once an enemy has been neutralized and no longer presents a threat, it is a war crime to execute them. so Heggy's argument rests on the 2 folks clinging to the side of the boat still presenting a threat. but he knows the video shows the opposite, which is why he refuses to release it.

we need a war crimes prosecutor in the Hague to subpoena the vid..

[Precious_b]

Oh, it was all show and gloat to pump up those with weak egos.

*BUT* as soon as it involves determining responsibility to prove a supposed war crime, human rights violation, illegal maritime activities, the supposed open door for releasing all videos is not slammed shut.

I can see why petey is running scared. Have a customer who spent many years protecting this country on the high seas and is very intimate with maritime law and his comments do not bear well for the drunkard.

[Yssup Rider]

On the eve that congresss passed a spending bill that compels Hegseth to release ll the Sep. 2 video, he bombed two more boats in the Pacific.

Still no evidence of drugs. Still no explanation.

Lock him up!

[RX792P]

Trump leaks land strikes in Venezuela?

"We just knocked out — I don't know if you read or you saw — they have a big plant or big facility where they send the, you know, where the ships come from," Trump said in the interview. "Two nights ago we knocked that out. So we hit them very hard."

[Yssup Rider]

That was quite the announcement! An, "Oh by the way, we just brought war to the Western Hemisphere."

Maduro may go down, but not before Putin, Iran and others get in the middle of this deal. Not to mention the U.S. Congress (you remember them, right? The folks who need to approve this stuff.)

Of course, the way the Earless Leader talks, who knows what the fuck he was trying to say? Could have been ordering a happy meal.

Can't wait to hear Hegseth's explanation.

Ain't that suppose to be the southern hemisphere?

Falling back on that old imperial mindset that caused all the fuck ups maggies complain about before all this started with the fuck up in chief not giving a shit how things got screwed up in the first place. Here he is doing it again.
