Yesterday:

Senator Eric Schmitt
[September 7, 2025]

Democrats can’t help but be on the wrong side of every single issue.
While they rush to defend violent crime and narcoterrorists, President Trump is busy making America safe again.
[….]

Some of the responses:

Attacking a civilian boat during peacetime is a crime.
You stop, search and arrest.

Declaring the US to be the ‘COPS of the Western Hemisphere’ as an excuse for committing an act of war / murder on the high seas with no actual evidence of any wrong doing is about as stupid as killing fishermen in someone else’s country because they were – uh – fishing. Didn’t have anything to do with Democrats, dumba$$.

I’d like one instance of anyone, who is not a criminal or a lawyer, defending, encouraging, or enjoying crime in any way.

I would like to hire a president that doesn’t break the law while trying to say they’re enforcing the law. Which is exactly what we see currently

absolutely correct. The irony of hypocrisy wrapped in delusional projection is real strong with this crew. My point is, “they” say the left defends criminals. This is absurd. Like the white Nationalists they are, they can’t help show their contradicting ideology.

none of them care about anything but allegiance to Donald trump. That’s it. He gave them a group of people to hate and they let their hate run wild. They don’t know anything about constitutional law nor care about it. All they want is him to attack the people they hate. And they only hate the people because he gave them someone to hate.
On a regular basis they use examples of previous administrations or presidents specifically from the Democrat Party who have done things that they want to see them hung for, and then as soon as Donald Trump does the exact same thing, which he does regularly, they use those people as an excuse to justify him doing it.
If they actually cared about any of it they would be equally as upset with him for doing the things he does as they do the other presidents they hate and want to see literally hung.
They’re the most subservient slave mentality group of people I’ve ever encountered in 52 years on this planet.

they are a group of people who are LED around by the nose.
They were told and believed that we now lived in a third world country by Donald Trump because prices went up during the global pandemic.
The very people who screamed third world country now will tell you that this is all just the price of progress because Donald Trump told them that’s what they have to believe now.

they have no goal other than power. And they’ll use whatever disingenuous nonsense they can come up with to justify that. Not an honest actor in the whole party. Including this guy.

What “crime” was committed by the people on the boat? We know only what tRump and his “Department of War” tell us.

we have no real idea, except that it is clearly a violation of international law. Unless we changed the prescription to alleged equals death penalty when I wasn’t looking. Though that might be on the table for this group.

I mean, a boat, thousands of miles away, that might have something on it, but who knows, is totally worth the ordinance expenditure. Laws for thee, not for me

MURDER WITHOUT TRIAL IS A WAR CRIME

Rand Paul is right:
Paul wrote in a post of his own later Saturday that “JD ‘I don’t give a s—’ Vance says killing people he accuses of a crime is the ‘highest and best use of the military.’”
“Did he ever read To Kill a Mockingbird? Did he ever wonder what might happen if the accused were immediately executed without trial or representation??” the Kentucky senator added.
“What a despicable and thoughtless sentiment it is to glorify killing someone without a trial,” he continued.

Where were you January 6???

Was there any evidence of drugs on the boat?

Now, conveniently, no. This has been another edition of Short Answers to Simple Questions.

Make war crimes bad again.

Mr Schmit’s post is best discarded as it makes claims without presenting evidence.

He does that a lot.

Eric is projecting.

You dont get to be judge, jury and executioner. This is not how a civilized world works.

You’re serving a convicted felon who let over 1500 violent criminals go free. Not to mention the abhorrent acts he committed with Epstein. Don’t talk about crime. Just like the Confederates, Repubs are on the wrong side of history.

Please show us the evidence that they were gang members to start? Telling fishermen that they might be in danger! WTF!

By violating international law and exposing our citizens to the exact same treatment

You evidently can’t help but be on Trump’s side of every issue. Have you ever had an original thought in your life?

Evidently not.

Yet you come out as a white supremacist. How disgusting.

Like being on the racist side?

What BS. We’re at a 30 year low in the crime rate. Look up the facts.

Killed some poor fishermen …..

Senator it’s called murder. You are supporting a murderer.

So wait….you’re telling me this crappy boat was going to make it over 1000 miles to the US without refueling? It was an immediate threat? Come on. We aren’t stupid.

You mean like Trump pardoning all the J6er’s? But yeah, keep peddling your BS.

Bootlicker

Fuck you Eric

You’re an embarrassment to every sane person in Missouri. You’re nothing but a hypocrite and coward.

another false bs claim… only fools believe this crap…

You’re a outspoken white supremacist so your opinions are not particularly valued.

how about the War Dept show proof this 22’ skiff was traveling over 2,000 miles in open ocean to the US with drugs fully exposed with 11 people taking the majority of cargo space warranted being struck by a $225k guided missile.

Who’d the one who pardoned the criminals already convicted on Jan 6th?

Keep drinking the kool aid. Racist wanker

llegally killing people in international waters because the Secretary of Defense is a war monger with an oversized ego and a drinking problem.

Yeah shot up a fishing boat ffs

Vague hateful comments like this are what divides this country. Shame on you.
No one is cheering for crime. We are, however, concerned about the constitutionality of these policies. It’s a valid concern, and one shared by voters on both sides of the aisle.
Do your job.

That boat was incapable of getting anywhere near our shores. And with 11 people in an open hull? Not much room for a significant amount of drugs.
Keep blindly believing otherwise, senator.

So you’re on the side of killing people with no trials, no matter where they are or where they’re from?

So can you give Americans a list of the people on that boat and the crimes they were convicted of in American courts

How long have you been a war criminal, Eric?

History will show…..you fascist enabler….you are on the wrong side…….so we bomb a random boat now……will we be shooting down a passenger plane next?

Look at that boat where were the drugs? If you were smuggling drugs why would you have 11 people on the boat wouldn’t itmake since to have that extra weight in drugs. You clown

Are you and trump trying to start a war with Venezuela? He has bragged that when has never had a war started under his rule, but this sure looks like one to me. This is not making America safe, it is inviting violence by another who absolutely has the right to consider this an attack on them. Are you trying to start a war so you can declare martial law and close voting off indefinitely?

A boat 1000 miles away from the states that may or may not had drugs or coming to our country, is blown up. And we are okay with our government’s far reach? I don’t believe for one minute, that Trump and his cronies didn’t have another agenda. There is a cover up you can bet on it.

Pointing out that it’s a war crime to use the military to murder unidentified people in international water hundreds of miles from our coast isn’t defending violent crime or narcoterrorists. It’s telling of your lack of integrity that you’ve chosen to toss aside the rule of law in favor of placating an authoritarian who appears to be intent on grasping every strand of control with his own tiny hands.
On the other hand, we DO have a Senator who proudly stood up and publicly announced that the United States is supposed to be a white homeland. You’re a white supremacist who not only can’t be depended on to fairly represent ALL of your constituents, you’ve chosen to brag that you have no interest in representing them. You’re a disgrace to your party and your oath.

drug dealers don’t put 11 people on a boat. you have no idea who you killed.

Don’t be a Nazi Mr Senator.
Gaslighting is dangerous.
