Maybe these are decoys......................

[FlingWingFlyer]

They blowed up real good. They may have better luck buying lottery tickets.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Sitting ducks?

[Karliner]

They should ask politely for samples before blowing them to kingdom come./s

Also ask how they’re feeling and if we could provide services and therapies, maybe a new job, family outreach like we do in ‘Merica

[HIDEK6]

…”falsely?”

[iamgalt]

“Mr. Trump has falsely asserted“

That’s President Trump scumbag and the assertion is plausible.

[ChuckHam]

The Times loves criminals and commies. What’s new?

[Red Badger]

I bet the kingpins never tell their subordinates that the others were blown to bits. They probably tell them they were arrested and sitting in an American jail............

[tumblindice]

A federal district court judge appointed by FDR just today ordered Pete to stop blowing up her suppliers.

[Tell It Right]

The Times applauded when Obama used drones to kill American citizens.

[ridesthemiles]

SEEMS TO ME THE FLOATING BAGS ON THE WATER SURFACE IS EVIDENCE.

NOT PAMPERS

[NorthMountain]

The Slimes can take its phony “fact checking”, roll it all up, and stuff it.

The relevant facts here are that another drug boat bit the dust. That is all.

[NorthMountain]

I bet the kingpins never tell their subordinates that the others were blown to bits.

If these idiots listen to the radio or watch TV, they'll start finding out.

If "Voice of America" was worth anything, it would be broadcasting these strikes worldwide. They're not secret.

“Mr. Trump has falsely asserted“
------------------------------------------
That’s President Trump scumbag and the assertion is plausible.

Referring to the President of the United States alternatively as "Mr." is a perfectly acceptable journalistic practice. Has been since the early days of the Republic. The custom is that, after the first mention of the President in the article where he is referred to as President __________, after that "Mr." can be used. This is considered a respectful form of address, as anybody else can simply be referred to by their last names alone.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

The druggies are all sad and stuff.

[Red Badger]

“They’re not secret.”

In Venezuela I bet they are................

[toddausauras]

76 less criminals coming here.

[central_va]

The “far left” New York Times never ceases to protect evil.

[JBW1949]

I would safely bet that the President and his administration knows much more about if these are “drug boats” than does the New York Slimes...
