Trump's Second Term

Ziggurat said:
Even if they were a member of Al Quaeda, that doesn't make murdering them legal.

That's not how it actually works, in either case.

In a legal sense, yes it does. Murdering people suspected of carrying drugs is illegal. Otherwise, you are advocating for a system where Ziggurat can simply be accused of running drugs, and thus, be killed.

1. Last week, one of them murdered someone.

Not only is this a false description of events, you also moved the goalpost. None of those events were triggered by criticism, which is what you claimed.

Go ahead and list all the evidence that they were running drugs.

Go ahead and list all the evidence against all of Obama's drone strike targets.

You won't, because you can't, because there is no publicly available evidence against them.

Again, if you want to criticize the president's power to perform such strikes, go ahead. But stop pretending Trump is the first one to use that power. He isn't.

In the tautological sense that murder means an illegal killing, sure. If a killing is legal, it is by definition not murder, and therefore any murder is by definition illegal.

Well, no. First, they're not simply accused of running drugs, but being active members of a designated foreign terrorist organization. Second, these military strikes can only occur outside US territory, not inside. So that's a pretty major limitation on this power.

Third, you're appealing to how you think it should work. I'm pointing out that it doesn't work that way. And my evidence is that presidents have been doing military strikes on such targets for decades now. This isn't new. This isn't unique to Trump. Obama did the same thing, the only difference is that he did it on the other side of the planet. But that's not legally relevant.
 
Q: Can the president assure Americans that the money he wants to send them will be able to cover their healthcare costs?

LEAVITT: *word salad that doesn't address the question*

Q: But 20 million Americans in recent weeks have seen their healthcare costs soar. Can he assure them?

LEAVITT: If this plan is put in place, every single American who has healthcare will see lower costs.

Leavitt: The great health care plan will stop sending big insurance companies billions in extra taxpayer-funded subsidy payments and instead send that money directly to eligible Americans to allow them to buy the health insurance

To buy the health insurance from whom?

Is there anyone so unthinking they can't see straight through this bamboozle?
 
Andy_Ross said:
A demand.

Reporter: The president has told credit card companies to lower the cap rate to 10%. If they don't do that. What will he do? What's the threat?

Leavitt: Tariffs? No… I don't have a specific consequence to outline for you but certainly this is an expectation and frankly a demand

I demand that Karoline Leavitt stop lying.

That is a demand, not an expectation. I don't have a specific consequence to outline for you concerning what happens if she continues to lie, but I can offer a specific consequence for what happens if she stops lying: Pigs fly.
