Rand Paul (R-KY) blasted President Donald Trump’s overseas strikes on alleged drug boats “insane” and not something “civilized people” do.
Paul joined Glenn Greenwald on the System Update podcast where he called out Trump and his Republican colleagues over US strikes against alleged drug boats in South American waters.
Paul accused Republicans of supporting actions they would be up in arms over if a Democrat were in office. The senator argued the strikes include no due process and could be leading to the death of innocent people.

Oof, pretty telling.
Paul, Putin, Massie, Democrats are all o the same page. Well, at least they can’t claim bipartisanship.
STFU Rand!
Hey asshat Rand Paul, civilized people don't traffic illegal drugs to other countries, in order to get rich, while killing thousands of people with their products.
Shut up Rand Paul. Trump is not ordering civilized people killed. Stop. Now.
He’s become the embodiment and intellectual equivalent of James Trafficant. What has deteriorated inside his head and soul seems to have migrated over to John Fetterman, who should be doing “success and hope for stroke victims” commercials.
Incinerate drug smugglers. Burn them.
Sorry a-hole, foreign criminals brining addictive poison into our country don’t get “due process”.
Where was he when Biden and Obama were droning people?
We nicely asked drug traffickers to stop.
They said “no.”
” not something “civilized people” do. “
What a European thing to say.
100 mph on the water is pretty doggone fast! Our boat, when we had one, would touch 50 and it was what I thought was kind of fast. Although those coast guard boats (and the Cleveland Police boats) could really fly when they wanted to.
And you’re right, with 4 250 hp outboards (or more) on the back, those boats would do more than 100. All we had was a single 305 GM V8 in our boat, not even a 4 barrel carb, and 50 was achievable.
What was Neville trying to do, challenge Adolf to a fencing duel?
“US strikes against alleged drug boats in South American waters. “
We attack in “International waters”.
If you had any concept of Naval protocols
developed over centuries and observed
by most every sea faring nation.
You’d know that.
Defending them. Check out post #4.
What was that about the shores of Tripoli?
Civilized people rid the world of uncivilized people who want to make the civilized people uncivilized, which is what is happening when uncilivized people sell drugs to civilized people.
Right now, we’re so civilized that we observe the rights of criminals to a tee while they rob the citizens of theirs. We’re to the point of losing civilization to the barbarians inside the gates with hardly a peep.
Pirates in international waters don’t get due process. Do you think the US Army gave German soldiers due process in WW2? My dad was there - what we gave them was a lot of 30-06 from the various M1 Garand and BAR rifles. (He never talked much about the war, which is how I know it was a terrible thing, but that’s a different subject).
Nope, there is no due process due these drug runners precisely because they are not US citizens and they are not in the US’ jurisdiction.
I know. Shameful of him.
