  1. Civilian casualties are reported abroad as a direct result of the president’s strikes in the Caribbean.

    Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan is telling us as of the last 120 hours that Department of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth AND President Donald Trump are unanimously refusing to present detailed listings of anti-terrorist action strike targets. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY

    https://youtu.be/fnUO0Plcpbo

    NATIONAL SECURITY DIRECTIVE NSPM-7 directs the department of justice to to pursue the free speech and expressions of citizens affiliated with organizations that are to be considered domestic terrorist organizations, now to include under the Executive Order’s directives: “anti-capitalist”, “anti-american” and “anti-fascist” political organizations

    NSPM-7 was drafted by Miller and is being used to justify bringing the full force of the federal government down on american citizens

    call your senators and say “I’m calling about NSPM-7. Please demand full congressional access to any terrorist-designation lists, require compliance with the War Powers Resolution and AUMF limits, and protect civil-liberties safeguards so peaceful advocacy isn’t chilled. I want transparency, oversight, and a public explanation of scope.” 

  4. Election results not going notorious paedophile protectors way? Get those distractions firing!

  5. Ugggghhhh. Okay, I’m officially tuckered out. One of you needs to continue groaning for me.

  7. All the MAGAs cheering this on are gonna be singing a different tune when one of our soldiers gets captured alive down there and they see what the cartels do to people who fuck with their money. Trump is gonna get some poor bastard tortured and dismembered. Probably a bunch of poor bastards, cause we all know he won’t let suffering Americans sway his decision making.

  9. “But a deployment to Mexico is not imminent” because “a final decision has not been made,” three NBC reporters write.”—from the article so nobody gets freaked by the title.

  10. The fact theyre even talking about this is fucking nuts. As a Canadian im terrified

  11. >And that’s why the White House reportedly now claims war powers restrictions do not apply to President Trump’s actions against these alleged drug traffickers. The New York Timesand Washington Post both reported that new legal wrinkle over the weekend. 

    Can we please stop sane washing the Trump admin. This isn’t a “legal wrinkle”. The Trump administration is illegally bombing South American boats.

  12. Wait wait wait
    I was told that the laughing lady would drag us into wars and trump was the peace president.

    Was it a lie?

  13. Cool, can’t wait to be killed by cartels in indiscriminate retaliatory attacks.

  16. Wow…those Epstein Files must be absolutely horrific… War with Mexico..?

  17. “Trump has threatened more than a half-dozen countries with military action….” The president of peace, ladies and germs – the jokes on us.

  18. They saw the blue wave tonight and said fuck it, kick off the illegal ass wars.

  21. He’s mad that the election results were shitty and needs to make new news. Not gonna happen grandpa, nobody gives a shit about you anymore.

  22. Trump: “No more wars!”

    Also Trump: *“No, more wars!”*

  23. It’s full-on crazy in Yankland these days. The only ray of sunshine was the election results yesterday.

  24. These extrajudicial bombings were never about ending drug smuggling or whatever talking point the Trump administration is going with, it’s always been about toppling the Maduro regime and interventionism south of the border. At least Trump says the quiet part out loud now, agreeing that “Maduro’s days are numbered” in that recent 60 Minutes interview.

    But why not take it a step further and admit that you don’t care about the thousands of Americans dying of drug overdoses, or the addiction crisis; your administration’s policies have been dismantling and defunding the agencies, programs and community support structures in place that are designed to monitor, manage and address these issues.

    In fact, none of Trump’s policies confront the underlying, root causes of our nation’s problems.

    The extrajudicial killings and war crimes aren’t being executed out of a sense of duty or sympathy for Americans, they’re being carried out so Trump can justify military escalation and war. And if you can’t see this for what it is, then I have some Trump meme coin to sell you.

  25. After tonight’s election results, you know he’s going to do something insane in the next 24 hours. Or, I guess, more insane than usual.

  26. > Developing: The U.S. military is planning operations to send troops into Mexico to fight drug cartels, NBC News reported Monday, citing current and former U.S. officials. “The early stages of training for the potential mission, which would include ground operations inside Mexico, has already begun…But a deployment to Mexico is not imminent” because “a final decision has not been made,” three NBC reporters write.

    So is this allegedly at the *invitation* of Mexico or is this just **invading** Mexico?

  27. So this 🤡 doesn’t win the Nobel Prize so now he is going to start 6 or so wars. This guy is completely insane and America better invoke 25th Amendment pretty damn quick.

  28. I dont get it. How are they even going to get into the country, what with that big beautiful wall in the way?

  32. The “No More Wars” President that changed the Department of Defense to the Department of War is now starting a war and people are surprised?

  34. Invading Mexico would be dumber than Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

  35. This is sounding suspisciously like a special military operation…

  37. Anything to detract from the GOP getting its ass kicked, the government shutdown, and the unrelenting clamor to release the Epstein files. Literally anything from these people. Wait until they get truly desperate, we’ll Reichstag-Fire a shitty red state and they’ll blame the Deep State to avoid losing in 2026.

  38. Cool, I predicted this.

    It serves two purposes.

    A) if there’s a war he can try to stay in office forever.

    B) it’s like his best bro in Ukraine, trading to get more land.

  39. All the wars he starts will not save him from the people’s justice, the world will demand justice for his criminal acts.

  40. The cartels are not effectively being fought by the Mexican government, I can agree with that.

    However, *what the fuck are we talking about here!? Why is this on the table???*

  41. Mexican here, honestly got briefly my sould scared the fuck out of me because I’m military age and 2nd army reserve but thank God is just a lot of “if”.

    Now I’m curious to ask the people, in and out of Mexico, would you think cartels will remain with arms crossed allowing themselves to be attacked or will they do something across the border? Because I wouldn’t be surprised if they have death squads on the other side of the border.

    And for my cynical take on this: I don’t understand why cartels haven’t send a representative or representatives to Mar-a-Lago to spend millions or give them millions to Trump businesses, I’m quite sure with the way he acts if they did so he would say that cartels are a bunch of for profit organizations full of decent rich people that are being disturbed by the Mexican government who doesn’t let them do their business

  42. Well how is Trump supposed to stay in office after his term ends, without a manufactured crisis?

    President of peace? Sounds more like Emperor through force by the day.

  43. If you can’t solve problems at home, cause more abroad.

  45. So in the last week he has deployed a large force to the Caribbean to threaten Venezuela, threatened war in Nigerian because he saw a segment on Fox “news”, and now Mexico? Ok, got it-

  46. So instead of money for our own people during a shutdown, he is using money to fund and start a conflict with our neighbors. This is gong to end in such a disaster
