President Trump said that he will order bombings of land targets as part of his campaign of summarily killing people suspected of smuggling drugs. There have so far been eight known strikes against boats in Latin America.

“We will hit them very hard when they come in by land,” Trump again said of those his administration accuses of drug smuggling. “They haven’t experienced that yet, but now we are totally prepared to do that.”

He added that the Trump administration would “probably go back to Congress and explain exactly what we are doing” before launching strikes against land targets. But the president also appeared to suggest that he did not need their permission to act, adding “we don’t have to do that.”

Precisely whose "land" is he talking about striking them on? I want to not take his lunacy seriously here but he's running amok completely unchecked or challenged by the GOP led Congress.

1. They must be hiding in the East Wing

2. Getting the military to kill whoever he wants.

3. He

has no problem bombing certain parts of the USA. If he bombed other countries, I would have to think it would be considered an act of war. Of course his supporters would approve no matter what.

4. War crimes are us

Attacking other nations with no declaration of war.

5. Paging Congress! - oh, Congress, ya out there somewhere?!

10. No, they're not.

They literally just let him tear down an entire wing of OUR White House without a peep. Not to mention he's blown up 8 small maritime targets killing approximately 34 civilian targets and the only blowback I've seen from the controlling parties side has been from Senator Rand Paul.

11. The PAUL pop & son are the 'tarians we can & can't count on.

12. Isn't that a mess?

I never expected to be here now.

[UTUSN]

13. We just gotta keep on.

[herding cats]

14. Yep.

Until we can't we just keep on fixing the good fight.

It's good to talk with you.

6. I hope some judge advocate has warned these commanders that they are being ordered to commit murder,

that obedience to orders is not defense, and that there is no statute of limitations for murder.

8. You don't commit these kinds of crimes if you

ever plan on leaving while vertical.

9. I think he's dying, too.

I think he knows it and he's seeking revenge on any and everyone who doesn't worship him. I have a really bad feeling about the next year or so here in this country.

15. He knows no one will build monuments to him when he's gone

so he's trying to stay ahead of the curve.
