The orders would be illegal if this were a war. As it's not, it's just piracy and murder on the high seas. Making America proud.

So far, there's no evidence that he has even begun. First, narco-terroism isn't a thing. Smuggling drugs is not terrorism. Second, the administration has not provided ANY evidence that these boats are even smuggling, much less capable of reaching the US.

To suggest that all cops are well trained and well disciplined flies in the face of stories that appear every few days with regular police officers and Sheriff's deputies violating the rights of citizens and assaulting people without justification. Some are well trained, others should be struck off

If the Democrats don't run on a platform that shows concrete plans on how they will do this, they don't deserve to be elected. When voters say, "We won't go back", that includes the system that got us here in the first place.

At the moment, the Democrats are the only viable alternative to the MAGA Republicans, but that is only because of the collusion of the two parties to maintain a duopoly and just take turns running (ruining) the country. They exist to maintain themselves, not to make the country work for everyone.
