Trump's daily assault on the Constitution is...a lot. It can be hard to keep up with. Let's not let all the domestic stuff distract us from the fact that Trump is committing war crimes in the Caribbean. As Campos notes, even if these people were drug runners, you cannot simply vaporize people who are not an active threat to life and limb. This is extrajudicial murder even if there was evidence of criminality. As of now, Trump has produced exactly zero evidence to corroborate his claims.
The odds are that Stephen Miller is behind this to try and scare the shit out of anyone from South America to come anywhere near the US. Or maybe Trump is pissed that a Venezuelan got his precious Nobel Peace Prize. Hey, Donnie. Killing people without due process isn't going to get you a Nobel Prize.
Meanwhile, his signal achievement - the one every Fox News and Congressional fluffer has gotten on their knees to polish his tiny knob - seems to already be falling apart. The Gaza peace deal was basically the deal Biden had on the table last fall. Trump and Netanyahu scuttled it, so that the IDF could kill more Palestinians, Iranians and maybe a few Qataris. The hostage deal is good, the ceasefire will hopefully alleviate suffering in Gaza. But this is not "solved" because Likud will not let a Palestinian state exist and Palestinians will not stop fighting to get one.
One of the things that drives me craziest is how Trump says something, and the press corpse reports it as somehow being true. "Trump announces peace deal" or "Trump strikes trade deal".
No.
Stop it.
He's a liar and an idiot. He's likely senile.
