MAGA "logic"   

The bottom line is this: they have no problem whatsoever with rape and murder as long as it's Trump doing it.

Trump could rape a child, and then eat it on live TV, and his supporters here would still defend him.

Would aquascoot and Frank say the kid was asking for it?

I think the mod should ban Frank and Aquascoot just in case Trump does rape a child and then eat it on live TV and then Frank and Aquascoot support him.

Completely different cases. Only a completely deranged innelectual from Meanjin ( ) would even attempt to present them as analogous.

Cases?  Yes.

However, they're both examples of serious crimes & the onus of proof.

Why do you always defend paedophiles, murderers and rapists from the right?

The California National Guard broke a state record in October for the number of narcotics seized in a single month after it confiscated 1,238,281 fentanyl pills worth an estimated $64.5 million.

The narcotics were seized by the National Guard‘s specialized narcotics team, which was created through a $30 million investment approved in the 2022 state budget.


“More Americans died from drug overdoses in 2022 and 2023 than U.S. soldiers killed in every war since World War II combined. We are in a war, a war against deadly drugs and the smugglers pushing them into our communities,” state Assemblyman David Tangipa (R-CA) told the Washington Examiner.

“I’m proud to see the National Guard expanding its efforts to stop fentanyl, and I hope to see even larger, coordinated operations in the future. Every overdose death is a preventable one.”

The Washington Examiner contacted Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D-CA) office for comment. 

Just this year, servicemembers, in conjunction with other state agencies, have seized 5,174.99 pounds of fentanyl, or over 3 million pills, estimated to be worth around $43 million.

Since the beginning of the drug efforts in 2021, the troops have helped seize over 35,065 pounds of fentanyl, which equals over 51.8 million pills. The street value of the total haul is estimated to be $498.4 million.

Narcotics, specifically fentanyl, claim the lives of over 72,000 people in the United States in 2023 alone, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.   

The seizure comes as the United States continues to intensify its counter-narcotics operations. President Donald Trump signed the HALT Fentanyl Act into law in July, which codified harsher penalties for those distributing the drug and authorized counter fentanyl operations to be carried out by law enforcement.

THE HALT FENTANYL ACT GIVES AMERICANS HOPE

Trump has escalated the war on drugs since September, carrying out air strikes on suspected drug trafficking boats and submersibles in the Caribbean.

Countless drugs were eradicated in a U.S. military strike on a narco-trafficking submarine in October. In the same month, at least two more strikes were carried out on alleged drug-running boats, which killed six people, the Pentagon said.

Survivors clinging to capsized boat didn’t radio for backup, admiral overseeing double-tap strike tells lawmakers

The two men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat in a secondary strike against a suspected drug vessel in early September did not appear to have radio or other communications devices, the top military official overseeing the strike told lawmakers on Thursday, according to three sources with direct knowledge of his congressional briefings.

As far back as September, defense officials have been quietly pushing back on criticism that killing the two survivors amounted to a war crime by arguing, in part, that they were legitimate targets because they appeared to be radioing for help or backup — reinforcements that, if they had received it, could have theoretically allowed them to continue to traffic the drugs aboard their sinking ship.

Murder - pure and simple.
