Honest answer: we are accustomed to lies from the CIA, lies from the executive branch, a politicized DOD/DOW.
I understand this is a different administration but, I'd like to see the evidence. I'm good with seeing the evidence after the fact assuming it is there.
Regardless of who is in the executive branch, I no longer will give the government a blank check from my "trust" account.

Not unreasonable. It could be boats that will negatively affect the Pelosi Portfolio.

Is bombing boats we suspect have drugs on them really the best way to save lives? Kill a few to save many?

Reports on Nancy Pelosi's investments, including financial disclosure forms, do not indicate any investments in companies that make panga boats.

You really expect them to agree with this statement? Even Communist Spock would say, Yes...

According to Captain Leonardo Vega, instructor and fishing companion of murdered fisherman Alejandro Carranza, the video clearly shows that the boat was adrift, with one engine raised:

While i understand we cannot treat druggies in inernational waters the same way as we would in the United States, to just resort to bombing them is the exact kind of murderous foreign diplomacy I expect from the Houthis. Or insert any given terrorist group.
The United States will absolutely make a mistake and kill innocents. Might have already. That should be completely unacceptable outside of wartime.

Was the Nazi takeover of the world comparable to some druggies in ski boats?
This is so bad. The President of Colombia is directing the families and victims of the mass murder campaigns to come under the protection of the Attorney General and initiate legal proceedings against the United States for mass murder. What have we become? https://t.co/FGeNzbDN1a

For what its worth........son # 2 living in Columbia has long said this current Columbian president is a narco.
That he is hated by the locals.
Don't forget, this 'president' had his opposition candidate killed a few months back.

No, but we better damn sure use all resources to determine who is on those boats. If we are going to treat them like terrorist than we better use the same Intel (human and tech) to make sure this is a targeted hunt. Not it was going fast and didn't heed our calls there are too many reasons that fall short of a Hellfire why they don't want to get stopped by the US Coast Guard. Living in FL, NO ONE wants to be boarded by the Coast Guard. Good way to ruin your day over a 6 pack...

Agreed. It is a very thin line. I am actually not really sure what I think about it.
I guess I need someone to lay out why one might use these particular boats ... are they for fishing? Are they moving Nintendo games to MIA for BestBuy? What exports might Venezuela be sending to the United States on these boats? Can the country produce the bill a lading for the cargo? Seems like these are not difficult questions to answer.
I suspect the objection - as usual is - TRUMP! If Barry was doing it, the TDSers would be cheering him one as a visionary, and he'd probably get another Nobel Prize.

Well, that is true. It really doesn't matter what he does, it is right. Doesn't really matter what Biden/Obama did, they were wrong. Obamacare is a great example, all we hear is how bad it is, yet they can't get it killed in Congress because too many Republicans want it.
As for the boat thing, I would have a easier time if you made the crime a death penalty, had a trial and if guilty hang em. At least they were proven guilty of a crime on the books with the death penalty. But, I am a process person... Most on here are gut feel, they read a few macro economic books and now get tariff's better than anyone. Or anyone of a thousand subjects.

Honestly, not really sure what the Obamacare detour is supposed to posit ... but since you brought it up: has it significantly lowered health care costs as Barry and Pelosi promised?
What crime would they have committed? Whose laws would they have broken?
Speaking of tariffs, were the economic experts right on how they would impact the stock market and economy?

shows that even with the House snd Senate the GOP can't get the votes to kill it. so woth all the rhetoric when it comes time to vote, they don't. it must he needed and the constituents must want it or it would be gone. But it can't serve a purpose, or even God forbid good policy, because it was founded by a Dem. it was an example of how polarized we have gotten. Dems are just as bad. i could use border as an example, Trump did a great job. but it has to be bad to the Dems since it was Trump.
we decide on if something is good or bad based on who was behind it, not on its need or function. really is a sorry state of affairs.
