The midterm elections are approaching, and Democrats, whose only policy position seems to be winning and then figuring out the rest later, are dredging up year-old "scandals," like the Trump administration's lethal strikes on drug boats. The Intercept had an exclusive report this week that the United States has killed 227 civilians in narco-boat strikes during "a year of murders." Obama bro Jon Favreau, whose old boss ordered a drone strike on a wedding party, agrees that the strikes are just "straight up murder."
Just straight up murder, committed in our name with our tax dollars https://t.co/NhLzFzTRxv

WONT SOMEBODY THINK OF THE POOR DRUG SMUGGLERS?!

Protecting Americans from narcoterrorists smuggling drugs into this country is heroic. They were warned months ago.

My gosh, those poor drug smugglers just out there minding their own business and stuff.

They’re not “civilians”

They are members of declared terrorist organizations (cartels) who are killing thousands of Americans with the drugs they traffic into the U.S.
A rare case where my tax dollars are spent well. Killing drug traffickers. 👍

Their organizations were legally declared terrorist orgs. Every video released the drugs are clearly present. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have been killed. No more sweeping crap under the rug to help the left.

We voted for that and more. Your tears are just an added bonus!

Democrat Majority Leader Extreme Hakeem Jeffries says that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth will be held accountable.
One year ago today, Donald Trump began an unauthorized campaign of lethal military strikes on alleged drug boats.
— Hakeem Jeffries (@RepJeffries) September 2, 2026
More than 200 people are now dead. The administration still has not provided evidence to justify these extrajudicial killings.
America needs a serious…
The post continues:
… counter-narcotics strategy that targets drugs like fentanyl, disrupts drug trafficking and reduces demand in our communities.
Pete Hegseth will be held accountable for these lawless boat bombings.
And what is the Democrats' serious counter-narcotics strategy? Reopening the border?
I would say that blowing up drug boats is a great way to target drug rings and stop drug trafficking.

If it was unauthorized, why didn't you stop him?
— Gary (@gwillhit73) September 2, 2026
Because it didn't need to be authorized by YOU.
FO.
If you think these boat attacks were wrong then you don’t support stopping drug trafficking. These people don’t care about the victims they help create.

The President gets things done. You’ve done nothing but allow the Democratic Party to become communist. So, shut up.

This must be today's talking point, as multiple Democrats are posting the same screed.
— Tommy Hill (@tome0806) September 2, 2026
We noticed that. It must be because it's the first anniversary of the Trump administration's war on drug boats, and the liberal media considered it a scandal of momentous proportions, while the rest of us enjoyed the videos of the strikes. Speaking of which, this video was just posted today. They cleared the ship of narcoterrorists first … wait for the big boom at the end.
Narco-terrorists just lost their floating gas station.

On SOUTHCOM’s order, Marines and Sailors from USS San Antonio boarded, cleared, and SANK a refueling vessel supporting Los Choneros in the Eastern Pacific.
