Nope.
Presidents Bush and Obama legally operated under the congressional GWOT military authorization to attack Al Qaeda and its affiliates.
Trump is unilaterally claiming the right use American armed forces against drug dealers in an undeclared state of war.
Worse, he's claiming Venezuela is supplying fentanyl to the US from boats that can't even reach the US while ignoring the biggest exporter of fentanyl, Mexico. Right over the border through checkpoints in 18-wheelers every fucking day. Of course, since this shit is so lethal, but goes for over $10,000 a pound, what kind of fucking morons don't realize that all it takes is a few pounds per day to kill Americans? Or that thousands of douchebags would try to smuggle it? Yes, many get caught, but how many don't?
Trump, along with all brown people, is making stopping fentanyl his "Jew". The fucker is a dumbass and simply following textbook patterns of dictatorship. Any rational, educated and intelligent American can see this. Having dumbasses in our society, the literal lower half of Americans on the educational, intelligent and rational scale is a problem, but not a solution. So what's the solution? Kicking out all the brown people taking American's jobs as "domestic homeworkers", "lawn maintenance" and "maintenance engineers"?
A desire for freedom and the education of our citizenry has always been a strong American value....until MAGA. Why? Better, what can we do about it?
I fully support peaceful protests and believe negotiation is better than violence. This isn't just about being humane and fair. Going to war is very, very destructive in both terms of human life and the economy. Americans starved to death
after the Civil War.
My apologies, I meant, "How many Americans suffered
food insecurity after the Civil War?" Thanks for your patience and understanding on my inability to keep up with modern terminology.
It's not the brown people living in America who are the problem. It's us. We, the People. We can follow Trump and blame others or we can take responsibility, accept the blame, ask the question of "What do we do now?" and move forward. IMO, most of that is education. A lot of our problems a lack thereof.
