"We blew it up...on Trump's orders." [View all]

“We blew it up.” On Trump’s orders. Even Rubio wants a little distance from this.

End snip.

They blew to bits a little fishing boat, looked like a bass boat we might have out on the lake, with 11 people on board. No room for massive amounts of drugs. There might have been a beer cooler. This was a message to the cartels? We're gonna blow up little boats in international waters and tell everyone it was the cartels? We're gonna post the murder death kill porn on our social media for our magats?

The 🍊 🐔 💩 🤡 can add 💣 murderer to his list.
