Curious. Support application of laws to everyone, including presidents. Resist fascism. "Authoritarianism substitutes the rule of law for rule by the lawless."

There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented.
ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”.

As I told @cnn.com, there's nothing to justify any of the lethal maritime strikes.
There's no armed conflict.
The administration has engaged in very real killing in a make-believe armed conflict.
And even in the admin's legal fantasy land, attacking the shipwrecked would be a war crime.

Pleased to speak with Fredricka Whitfield on @cnn.com today.
Explained that the legal problems with the killing spree at sea far go beyond the September 2nd incident.
Premeditated killing outside of armed conflict is called murder.

Schiff: "I think that all of these strikes are unlawful. They are a form of extrajudicial killing. These boats are not invading the US in an armed assault ... the fact the administration may put a group of organizations on a list doesn't confer on a president the ability to kill them at sea."

There's an important point here which I also just made on @cnn.com.
DOJ created a make-believe armed conflict to justify the boat bombing scheme.
But in practice DoD may be coloring outside DOJ's lines and could be committing crimes even under DOJ's alternate version of legal reality.

I read the classified legal memo and disagree that military strikes on drug boats are legal (w/o congressional war authorization).
But nothing in the memo would authorize strikes on boats not even headed for the U.S. That’s just straight up murder.
DOJ must open investigation.

BREAKING: Boat blown up by U.S. military in Caribbean waters WAS NOT HEADED TO THE U.S.!
The justification for killing these people was the claim they were bringing drugs to the U.S Not true! The military says they were going to a small country near Venezuela.

A "FIFA Peace Prize" is tantamount to getting an "AutoZone Best Actor in a Dramatic Play" award.
And "I want to really save lives" is rich coming from the homicidal slob who is murdering people on fishing boats in the Caribbean.

When the U.S. commits war crimes, acts of war, and meddles in the internal affairs of other countries, it jeopardizes our national security because it invites retaliation and sets precedence for others to follow suit.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.
