All right, Vice President J.D. Vance has thrown the Trump admin into a viral firestorm over the weekend after cursing out Twitter journalists and claiming that he doesn't give a shit if his administration commits war crimes overseas.

This comes after the Trump admin announced that they had killed 11 people in a strike in the Caribbean,

and they claimed the people on this boat were Venezuelan drug dealers.

But there are few key problems.

Number one, they did it with no due process, no trial, zero evidence presented in a courtroom,

and zero evidence presented after.

So J.D. Vance is out here, muddying the waters, trying to say that he, quote, doesn't give a

shit in that killing cartel members with zero, zero trial is the highest and best use of the

American military. As J.D. Vance is glorifying military use abroad, extra judicial killings. Donald Trump is saying that maybe domestically, Chicago is about to find out why it's called the Department of War. Both J.D. Vance and Donald Trump are glorifying the military, and it's painting a pretty strong narrative. Even Republican Senator Rand Paul, who is the chair of the Senate

Homeland Security Committee, came out and just called J.D. Vance out. This got 12.5 million

views. This entire discourse on Twitter has pulled in tens, hundreds of millions of views,

because it's the vice president of the United States

claiming that the quote, highest and best use of the American military is to kill people

with no due process.

Just to pause for one second before we read these posts.

Democrats need to be incredibly clear.

No one is denying that drug smuggling is a crime.

I would never say that we should be soft on cartels. In fact, there are many procedures we can use to take care of cartels legally.

But the question is not whether drugs are bad or cartels are bad. It's whether or not we should

abandon the most basic guardrails of humanity or international law to strike people

unilaterally. Now, Rand Paul makes a great point here by invoking to kill a mocking bird.

Basically, the broader point is if the government can unilaterally accuse people of crimes
