I remember the virtual and hate towards Obama for doing what they cheer Trump does.

Obama deported lots of illegals and the Democrats did not protest but they are fighting tooth and nail to stop Trump from deporting illegals. Weird

Nothing "Weird" about it, if you are not stupid.

Democrats supported the METHOD which is expedited court hearings, where you add more staff to process and get them out quicker. Democrats also were fine giving the magats that power in a bipartisan bill which the magats all supported until Trump told them to kill it as he did not want the issue fixed as it was in Obama's term and he wanted it a mess so he could run on it.

AI Overview



While the U.S. government does not publicly confirm the specifics of its intelligence-gathering methods, reports indicate that U.S. intelligence agencies
intercept important communications as part of ongoing operations related to counternarcotics trafficking and to gather intelligence on the Maduro regime.
Key points regarding U.S. interception of communications:
  • Targeted Intelligence Gathering: U.S. intelligence collection efforts focus on tracking drug dealers and cartel operations, which involves intercepting relevant communications.
  • Covert Operations: The U.S. President has authorized the CIA to conduct covert operations within Venezuela to influence political, military, or economic conditions, which can include intelligence gathering activities.
  • Specific Incidents: Reports in late 2025 mention that a U.S. EP-3 aircraft with "radio-electronic reconnaissance capabilities" was operating within Venezuela's Exclusive Economic Zone, a type of aircraft designed to intercept electronic signals.
  • Surveillance of Officials: U.S. intelligence reports have, at times, included information about conversations involving U.S. officials and Venezuelan figures (such as Nicolás Maduro), which were likely gathered through the interception of communications between foreign nationals.
  • Cyberattacks: In 2025, it was reported that the CIA had successfully carried out a clandestine cyberattack against the Venezuelan government's computer network in the final year of the previous administration, demonstrating the use of digital tools for intelligence purposes.
It is also important to note that the Venezuelan government itself engages in extensive digital surveillance and interception of its citizens' communications, with telecom companies reporting that millions of phone lines have been affected by state-requested interceptions.

How Does the U.S. Decide Which Boats to Target? Here’s What We Know.​


Marco Rubio, the secretary of state and national security adviser, has reinforced the perception that the United States knows who is on the boats, where they are coming from and what they carry. “We track them from the very beginning,” he said this month.

Officials briefed on the strikes said that intercepted “signals intelligence” suggesting the boats were carrying drugs is the strongest intelligence collected.

And yet the US has pulled individuals from the sunken ships from the ocean and returned them to their country instead of bringing them to the US to jail them.

That tells you the US knows they would not be able to get a conviction and prove what they claim as prior to Trump any boats interdicted for drugs and those on them would be brought to the US and face trial and were NOT returned and freed in their home country.

I think once, Obama authorized a drone to kill a suspected Middle East terrorist. I criticized it at the time. I don’t think such action is legal without at least congressional consultation.

During Barack Obama's presidency (2009–2017), U.S. drone strikes and other airstrikes under his authorization in countries like Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia resulted in the deaths of hundreds of civilians, according to multiple independent investigations and monitoring organizations.

Obama dramatically expanded the U.S. drone program, authorizing around 542–563 strikes in non-battlefield settings (primarily Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia), compared to about 57 under George W. Bush.

He acknowledged civilian deaths as tragic and unavoidable in some cases, expressing regret (e.g., for accidental killings of hostages).
