MSDNC and the Democrats are sad that fentanyl flooding into our country and killing thousands is being stopped. They love violence and chaos in our streets and violent criminals released back into the streets.

These aren't fishing boats. Open boats with at least 1,000 combined horsepower from those outboard motors, aren't fishing boats. Y'all know what they are. Quit playing dumb

Well start identifying the kids that die from those drug gangs. My gosh the left is insufferable .

How about you go eat Crow

CRIMINAL IN THE WHITE HOUSE

Quit driving drug boats toward United States and they won’t get killed

Killing hundreds of thousands of Americans by drug trafficking is also deeply disturbing

They're fishermen in a speed boat.

BREAKING: The UK has suspended intelligence-sharing with the Trump administration as they REFUSE to be complicit in Trump’s illegal murders of innocent boaters in MAJOR shift in relations!
The United Kingdom controls a number of territories in the Caribbean and has a large number of intelligence assets in the area. In the past, they’ve helped us track suspected drug-shipping boats, with the understanding that the boats would be searched, the occupants detained and contraband seized.
Now that the Trump admin is just killing people indiscriminately with no concern for who their victims are or whether or not they’re guilty of anything, the United Kingdom will no longer be an accomplice to what they see as murder.
CNN reports that “British officials believe the US military strikes, which have killed 76 people, violate international law, the sources said. The intelligence pause began over a month ago, they said.”
For weeks now, Trump and Steven Miller have been pushing nonsensical lies about Venezuelan fentanyl trafficking in order to justify the extrajudicial murder of Colombian and Venezuelan fishermen.
The majority of fentanyl is produced in Mexico, where it is then brought over the border, mostly by AMERICANS. In 2023 and 2024, over 84% of people arrested for fent trafficking were American citizens.
This is a completely made-up narrative used to justify the heinous murder of some of the world’s poorest people — and to normalize the killing of foreign nationals without a declaration of war.

Good job Trump lol drug boys😅

The USA and Israel showing how much the life of Latinos and Palestinian are worth it to them

Logan Sharpe, a 7-year-old boy, tragically passed away after being hit in a car crash in rural Georgia. Dalton Cason, the driver of the car, tested positive for multiple substances in his system at the time of the incident. This reportedly included cocaine and fentanyl. Eight months after the crash, Cason was charged with misdemeanor DUI.

Keep on striking. They want answers because they also have a hand in the illegal drug industry

They were a threat to the country. That threat was taken out. No different than terrorists. The president doesn’t need your permission to defend the country, it’s actually his job.

The US killing lots of random people? – Not surprised.

If MSNBC were around on 06 June 1944, they would have had the same alarmist attitude / reporting about the names / legality of dead Germans in Normandy

For the multitude of liberals with concerns about the "legality" and “names” of the drug smugglers being killed – consider this: Seal team 6 killed OBL, his son, and others in the compound without a court order and without first asking “please tell me your name”

That congressman looks like the reason there’s a chair facing the bed in hotel rooms

Cockroach control

I would love to see Dems get together with their counterparts and attack the gaslighting carried out by the current administration – organized around subject matter expertise. Listening to Rep. Crow discuss the murder of over 50 men accused of “drug smuggling” talk about the letter drafted by service veterans- combat veterans. It just made sense – subject matter expects ban together to pick apart every offense/crime being carried out by the administration.

Yeah deeply disturbing that msndc is hurt when Trump wins because he keeps America safe! Thank you Sec Hegseth!

The Prime Minister and government of Trinidad and Tobago are spreading fake news just like the Trump Administration does to their own people.

The United Nations and many other nations are condemning the acts of the United States of America and these are reported globally on all leading news agency.

Trinidad and Tobago is being used to advance the false narratives of the US government to justify their ulterior motives….and this is disturbing on all levels.

DO NOT PUT TRINBAGONIANS AT RISK….STAY OUT OF DONALD TRUMP ULTERIOR MOTIVES AND ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES IN THE CARIBBEAN REGION – T&T IS BEING USED TO LEGITIMIZE THEIR PRESENCE.

Operation Southern Spear?

The lives of people in the Caribbean Region are not to be played with and is no laughing matter.

The narrative of striking drug boats are all false just for very deceitful motives – be it Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago etc.

Extra judicial killings, disrespecting international law, ignoring due process, behaving like colonists are all wrong.

We are genuinely living in Matthew 24 times and the US has no jurisdiction in the Caribbean. Like I always say, if a country In the Middle East or Africa was doing what the US is doing, many more would have been condemning these actions.

Time will tell and what goes around, comes around.
