If the military still runs decisions to the top one Hellfire at a time, bypassing on-site command, it is still Biden-era broken.

There are admirals there to clear actions.

I never said it was real.

In general, if you are talking about killing people—especially if you are going back to do it after successfully eliminating the threat—you shouldn’t talk about it.

If he didn’t do that, that’s fine.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You absolutely said it was real. See, that is the problem. You automatically assumed it was real because of your all things Trump blind spot.

You have learned nothing in 10 years.

You just don’t like getting called out on it.

but not extend Constitutional protections with it.

Constitution only applies in the US.

No. Reading is important.

I said he should not say that stuff out loud.

It sounds like the stupid shit he says. My point was not to say it.

You love “fighting” on the interwebs don’t ya? Gets your heart going. Be careful, that stuff will give you a heart attack. Temper your hate.

LMAO. You literally are twisting yourself into a pretzel to say you didn’t say what you said.

Probably been doing that since you were seven and now don’t even realize you do it.

You aren’t nearly as smart as you think you are Joe.

“Constitution only applies in the US. “

So do laws against smuggling but that doesn’t stop the US from killing civilians while enforcing it’s local laws outside of the US territories.

“Ever hear of in-country surveillance and intelligence? “

I have heard of Intelligence agencies lying like rugs right to the face of the people or do you suppose Trump getting elected magically makes the government(and Trump) into tellers of truth?

Of course not, but I trust President Trump and Pete Hegseth to make sure that the intelligence they get has been verified before they issue orders, and that they know a hell of a lot more facts than the media does. You should realize by now that if the intelligence wasn't good, the RATS and their Rino friends would have been leaking it to the press long before now.

I see when numbers come up in reports if Trump doesn’t like them he applies pressure until they say what he wants then says because lawfare was used against him, all bad new is lawfare.

And? No other President ever questioned report numbers?

Like saying the entire government is against him, putting out bad numbers to undermine him, because the, oh say, inflation numbers aren’t lining with how he expected the economy to go.

Is that all you can find to bitch about Trump over? Go whine to someone else who gives a crap about your pettiness.

I’m just wondering what will it take for you to see it also. You know I voted for a Trump who wanted to end foreign wars. But the Trump I got is very war like.

Sounds like you need to see a psychiatrist. Maybe they’ll give you the response you’re looking for. You won’t find it here.

You’re the one with superiority complex. You forget there is a sea of voters out there who don’t think Trump walks on golden water and would give up their values they claim to hold dear, like the Constitution, to let Trump run amuck on the democratic party and it’s support structure regardless of what other lasting damage it does to the country.
