The vice president and a Republican senator clashed over a U.S. military strike that killed 11 people on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean.
Paul, a fellow Republican from Kentucky, then took up the gauntlet. He questioned on social media how Vance could justify killing people accused of a crime without a trial.
“Did he ever wonder what might happen if the accused were immediately executed without trial or representation??” Paul asked. “What a despicable and thoughtless sentiment it is to glorify killing someone without a trial.”
The Pentagon hasn’t released information publicly justifying the destruction of the boat. The Navy and Coast Guard have traditionally intercepted suspected drug smugglers at sea.
Got it: Trump and Vance don’t care if civilians are killed based on only an accusation and without trial.
Remind me, are Trump and Vance both civilians?
I have to point out here that the Obama administration laid down the legal reasoning and set a precedent for killing accused civilians without trial.
no, they’re god, or something, idk
Well, apparently Trump is not an officer since it was confirmed that he engaged in insurrection against the US but was still not barred from running for president by section 3 of the 14th amendment. Imo, the President is a civil officer, but here we are with an insurrectionist who was allowed to run and be elected as president, so I guess I must be wrong about that.
Or the Supreme Court is corrupt.
