Right, so you think that the nightime speedboat at 25 knots was just a dozen or so fishermen, and yeah, those poor sods clinging on.

Unbelievable, it's obviously a drug boat. Why would you be appalled by it just because of Trump?

If they are drug boats they are obviously capable of being efficiently tracked. Why then the need to destroy them and the evidence they are carrying. Why not intercept them, disable them, interrogate the crew, gather evidence and destroy the drugs? Just sinking them and wantonly killing their crews, who are unlikely to be more than pawns, sends the wrong messages.

There is something to this in that drugs lords could now kidnap people's families in order to get them to man the boats. Which wouldn't be great for anyone involved.

as opposed to the Clintons and sleepy Joe Biden ?

One man's corrupt is another man's realpolitik. Not so much a fine line between them. More a shifting indistint buffer

Or they are in the boat to catch fish.

I'm more interested in the Epstein files because ultimately I think attacking and exposing the system behind the curtain, where it's gone wildly off course, is more important to the health of the west than the rights and wrongs of minor wars overseas.

There are few voices on the left that I have time for when it comes to Epstein because I remember both their activist silence on the issue....which only changed once Trump took office.....and their very obvious tactics now......and obviously the inaction, at the political level, of the Biden administration....who sent their talking heads in the media world to call it a right wing 'conspiracy theory'. The sudden change now is all based upon political advantage rather than actually wanting to get at the truth.

However, it's never everyone and some on the left do seem genuinely interested in the truth, warts and all, regardless of who it advantages.....I like those people and this bird seems to be one of them.

There should be no hiding place for what was enabled around Epstein and those who have lied to the public need to answer for it......High or low, Republican or Democrat, intel services.....the lot.

The Epstein situation is a clear example of how the system has exploited young people and a grotesque example of evidence destruction, lies and "suicides".

These are the lengths the systems will go to to defend itself

It’s obvious to you because you would swallow anything MAGA tells you .

Any evidence offered ? Shoot first don’t ask any questions later .

You miss the point of my OP ,the double standards and hypocracy .

undermining your justice system by pardonning drug dealers and narco politicians ,and not offering due process to ‘suspected drug traffickers ‘.

Kind of strange that they killed the two sods who held onto the boat .Wouldn’t want to take them in alive ,might just be fishermen after all .

I'm sure they'd identify as fishermen.

Next time I'm caught in a bus lane in my car I'll tell them they have it wrong, I could just well be a bus. I'm sure some new liberal Trump hater such as yourself who works at the council doing tickets appeals will fight my corner and let me off.

If it looks like a duck mate.......

You are aware that they are using Reaper drones to cover the vast area? No? Do you think think there was a man filming them and flying alongside? Lololol

This is why British fishermen are struggling. They are using trawlers when all along they should be in speedboats. Silly fishermen.

Apparently Trump’s doctor has just “resigned” after refusing to sign a medical report he didn’t write, being replaced by someone who has signed it without actually conducting an examination.

With Trump’s health now being openly questioned this is a big deal. I have no doubt there will be much to follow.

No, but they are tracked and assets could be moved into pinch points ready to intercept. I am sure the US possess boats every bit as fast and also have air support. Just threatening to destroy a boat could force it to stop and surrender.

I am not a military expert but that seems common sense to me. If they can hit these targets in open water then they can do it even more precisely closer to shore.

I thought you were against making assumptions? What evidence do you have to say that the report wasn't examined prior to signing it?

And the only people openly questioning his health are people like you, who hold grudges and prejudice.

You're such a massive hypocrite

No, you are not. In fact, you're pretty much wholly obtuse, but it never stops you talking as if you know what you are on about.

Funny that you think the purpose of a Reaper is to spy on things using it's targeting pod 🤣

I said apparently! I picked this up last night from a blog by someone who has an inside source in the White House. Someone who has previously leaked information that has subsequently been proved accurate. It’s not yet in the MSM as the White House hasn’t yet announced it. I guess they are getting their cover story in place and/or intimidating the resignee. That’s been done before.

There are many better qualified than either of us now seriously questioning both his physical and mental health. Dismiss that if it makes you feel better. I don’t.

"someone"

So you heard this, have no name or background, no actual evidence, but it fits your agenda so it's moved from "apparently" to definitely true.

Laughable

When and where did I say that? You are again saying I said things that I have not. What I said was that the boats are obviously being tracked. How is unknown to me and I don’t make assumptions but they could not be targeted unless it is known where they are, or at least the general area they are in, so they can be intercepted.

Another apology is due.

We all know he's just an anti white troll looking for engagement.

If it's true that he's ancient boomer on the way out it's ultimately a sad case.....but nothing close to being as sad as losing someone like Becky, who appeared to be a decent human being.

The sheer gall of his desperate need for attention gets me to occasionally comment but it's just feeding the guy who hates you.

No, it was apparently. Awaiting confirmation. Confirmation that isn’t available as the claim has been rescinded, being based on a video now identified as faked, having been made using AI.

That though is only half the story. What is true is that there are many well qualified medical people openly questioning Trump’s physical and mental health. They don’t offer any diagnosis as all say that requires them to actually carry out the necessary testing. What they do say is that the warning signs are so clear and obvious that such testing is required.

The fact that you describe anyone as an “anti-white troll” leaves no room for the slightest doubt about you. It’s there, in your own words.

I am neither anti, nor pro, “white” or “black”! I reject discussing racial identity in such terms.

You cannot cope with such rejection as you seek to frame everything in that way. I see people as people. Not stereotypes. I don’t see people as “white” or “black”, only good or bad. Guess which one you are in?

Says the man who thought Biden was always in good health and there was nothing to see there 😂
