Yeah. It does.

What did I tell you pussies about half measures?




And how many times now have I said that if Trump said don't drink bleach that Ted and Second would start chugging it?



Now you're shedding tears for death merchants. Well... Pretending to anyway.

Oh! Not the poor foreign drug dealers!!!



You Democrats keep doing exactly what you're doing.

America hates you.




We've done it your way long enough, and excluding illegals that's lead to nearly 1 in 10 Americans over the age of 12 currently suffering from drug addictions. And that's just the ones who admit to it and/or can't deny it after being hospitalized for it.



Meanwhile...

Note to Venezuela: Send another fucking drug boat to my shores and see what happens.

I dare you.


And that goes double for you, China.

Legality

Several experts have questioned the legality of the strike under U.S. law and international law. Adam Isacson of the Washington Office on Latin America said the strike "looks like a massacre of civilians at sea," stating that "'Not yielding to pursuers' or 'suspected of carrying drugs' doesn't carry a death sentence."[16] An expert in U.S. constitutional law from King's College London stated to the BBC that it is not clear if the strike would fall under the presidential powers granted by the Authorization for Use of Military Force of 2001, but that the administration's use of the term "narco-terrorists" may hint at this being their legal justification.[17]

The Trump administration has not stated what legal authority or justification the military had to carry out the strike.[18][19] The Atlantic suggested that Trump was relying on his Article II powers. Political scientist Peter Feaver noted that every presidential administration since Ronald Reagan's considered deploying military force in the war on drugs, but only the second Trump administration followed through.[20]

Aftermath

President Trump hinted towards further military action, stating: "There's more where that came from."[10]

The U.S. Navy has increased the size of the patrolling group, to include USS Gravely, USS Jason Dunham, USS Sampson, USS Iwo Jima, USS San Antonio, USS Fort Lauderdale, USS Lake Erie, USS Minneapolis-Saint Paul, and USS Newport News along with an undisclosed number and type of aircraft surveilling the area.[21] Part of the Marine Corps contingent includes the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit.[22]

GOP Senator Warns Trump: “Sometimes You Have To Figure Out Who People Are Before You Kill Them”

U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) said: “The reason we have trials and we don’t automatically assume guilt is, what if we make a mistake?” Paul added: “Off our coast, it isn’t our policy to just blow people up.”

Note: Trump’s Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the speedboat was likely headed to Trinidad or another country in the Caribbean, not the U.S., as President Trump said in the Oval Office.

171 Cartel Members Busted—In Boston’s Backyard



Quote:

The DEA just delivered one of the largest cartel takedowns ever seen in New England, arresting 171 members of the Sinaloa Cartel, the most powerful drug trafficking organization in the world. Federal agents seized over 500 pounds of fentanyl, m*th, and c***ine, along with more than 22,000 counterfeit pills designed to look like legitimate prescription drugs. These deadly fakes indistinguishable from real Adderall and oxycodone contained lethal doses of fentanyl.

The bust revealed a disturbing reality: cartel members were using social media apps to target young people, advertising fake pills, accepting payments through mobile apps, and even arranging delivery services. Lawrence, Massachusetts, was identified as the epicenter of cartel distribution in New England, showing how deeply Mexican cartels have infiltrated U.S. communities far beyond the border.



Tell me how we should be protecting these people, Second. We know you love them.

6ix, you are crazy and evil. Funny part is that you have no idea how wacko you are, but then neither do other Trumptards I know. They never blame themselves for their problems. They blame anybody and everybody, except themselves and their own weird mental illnesses.

Shut the fuck up dude.

This is the new world you're living in. You don't like it? Tough shit. Move out of my country if it bothers you so much.

You did this. Pat yourself on the back.


Your party is dead, and nobody listens to you or any of your Left Wing "intellectuals" anymore.

America hates Democrats.

Libtards were all aghast and flummoxed when 9/11 happened, thought nobody could predict such a thing.
Because they are illiterate, they were unable to read Debt of Honor by Tom Clancy, about 6 years prior.


Now Trump's War on Terrorists caught them flatfooted again. Clancy's Clear And present Danger helped spell out some of what we are seeing in the news now. That was around 35 years ago.

A better (IMHO) book was Cobra, by Fredrick Forsythe IIRC, about 15 years ago. Technically, Cobra is a sequel, with characters established in Avenger. But Avenger is not really required reading before Cobra. Both titles refer to code-names, like CIA practice. I enjoy both, have read both numerous times.

Trump Family Amasses $5 Billion Fortune After Crypto Launch

https://www.wsj.com/finance/currencies/trump-family-amasses-6-billion-
fortune-after-crypto-launch-567faec5


Updated Sept. 1, 2025 4:24 pm ET

The Trump family notched as much as $5 billion in paper wealth on Monday after its flagship crypto venture opened trading of a new digital currency.

The launch is akin to an initial public offering, in which the cryptocurrency, called WLFI, can now be bought and sold on the open market like a listed company’s shares. Beforehand, people who had privately bought WLFI from the Trump venture, World Liberty Financial, hadn’t been able to exchange their tokens.

The trading debut was most likely the biggest financial success for the president’s family since the inauguration. The Trump family, including President Trump himself, holds just under a quarter of all WLFI tokens in existence. Trump’s three sons are co-founders of World Liberty, while it names the president a “Co-Founder Emeritus.”

World Liberty says founders and team members’ tokens remain “locked,” meaning they still can’t sell them. But the trading launch now puts a real-world valuation on their holdings, which previously were valued based on private sales.

WLFI is likely now the Trumps’ most valuable asset, exceeding their decades-old property portfolio. While the president’s family has continued to pursue property deals around the world since taking office, the fast-moving crypto business has had the biggest early impact.

President Trump helped launch World Liberty a year ago, while campaigning, saying it would help make “America Great Again, this time with crypto.”

World Liberty’s rise this year came as the president drove the growth of the crypto industry from the White House, reining in regulation and touting the potential of private, digital currencies to invigorate the U.S. economy.

In advance of the WLFI trading debut, World Liberty this summer took over a publicly listed firm and raised $750 million in cash from investors to buy the cryptocurrency.
