Does Trump Have the Authority to "Unleash Strikes" on US Territory?

Unless you don’t support Israel. Not supporting Israel means anti-semitism.

Great point, as usual.

and oddly enough, here I am supposedly a hyper partisan MAGA guy and I fully supported killing terrorist enemies regardless of citizenship and questioning whether blowing up drug running boats (lets no kid ourselves, that is what they are) is within the Presidents authority because I recognize one was definitively authorized by the Congress using its Constitutional authority, and the other is a rather questionable stretch of the Presidents Constitutional war powers.

That’s all you got left, name calling.

If anything you’ve learned about me you’d know that I have no fuse on my mouth.
Calling me a name is pretty recless, darling. :clap:

That includes Obama?

We don’t know if this is done “at will” and what proofs of a crime or imidiate danger there was.

It is a legit question.
I also asked it.

Yes, of course.

Good post.

Of course it was “at will.” If it wasn’t at the administration’s will, whose was it? Congress certainly didn’t approve it.

And I’ve answered it on this board many, many times.

What’s good about it? Where does the Constitution delegate the authority to execute people extrajudicially?

there is nothing extra judicial going on.

A group the President has declared invaded or was conducting incursions into the US is being repelled or prevented from further incursions or invasions. This authority is a constitutional issue between the executive and Congress and has nothing to do with the judicial branch.

The question here is at what point in repelling or preventing and invasion or incursion does the President need Congressional authorization. I believe we’ve past that point. It is however reasonable to believe otherwise. Its between the executive branch and Congress, and unless Congress decides to sue, has nothing to do with the judiciary that has ZERO war powers. Should have nothing to do with them then, as Congress has its own remedies.

“Invasion”

7 guys in a speedboat. :rofl:

Drug running is a crime, not terrorism.

incursion

MAGA worm brain

I will edit to explain under duress.

MAGA worm in the brain is my medical diagnosis for those who have surrendered their ability to critically think, to doubt, to question any lame-assed excuse that comes out of this administration.

It is a parasite that eats the brain and soul of what were once probably decent people.

For Donald J. Trump.

This post was not a reply to any specific member, as evidenced by the lack of use of the reply function.

It is a “if the shoe fits” diagnosis and nembers are free to ignore it.

what does that have to do with the President designating TdA a foreign terrorist organization, which he has the authority under the law to do.

Terrorism is a thing.
Drug running is a different thing.

Trump Inc declared them terrorists because they can’t get drug convictions.

Now he’s blowing up them (somebody) in international waters over drugs. With no evidence.

you have no idea what evidence they have. You only know that you don’t know it. And why should you? I’m sure their are intelligence assets and procedures involved in collecting that evidence that neither you, nor I, nor the drug cartels need to know. I too believe Congressional authorization is needed at this point, but I’m not going to assume and make things up because I hate Trump. (I don’t, but it wouldn’t matter.) Additionally, you have no idea why Trump declared anything. You assume, based on your fee fees.
