Rand Paul posts a letter from the commandant of the Coast Guard (who’s probably gonna get fired now for making Butcher Pete look bad) stating that they interdicted 69 boats in the Caribbean last year without having to commit any war crimes, and also about 1 in 5 of them turned out to not have any drugs.
At that I would bet at that none were outboard open boats over a thousand miles from our shores.
Adm. Bradley tends to tell Congress that the two survivors clinging to the wreckage of their boat were “attempting to continue their drug run” and therefore it was OK to murder them.
I no longer feel bad about Butcher Pete throwing him under the bus.
Holy Shit. I bet these facts are buried - damn quickly.
That’s all I have to say.
What do you mean? Clearly the Coast Guard has been taken over by ObamaBiden woke and needs to be purged.
Exactly.
I’m just surprised they haven’t tried to claim Biden ordered that second strike.
Well, this is the dumbest thing I’ve heard from the regime in the last five minutes. Did he think the survivors were going to put the “drugs” on their back and swim the rest of the way to Florida?
And Commandant Lunday should stay away from the water for a while so his ship doesn’t get mistaken for a Venezuelan fishing boat.
Biden was too busy trying to get them on Medicaid and SNAP.
I was wondering – but hadn’t looked – if Adm. Bradley was one of those recently promoted after quite a few flag officers resigned. Whether he was or not he should have reused the Secretary’s order.
According to Wikipedia, he was promoted to four stars and put in command of JSOC in June. He also got promoted to commander of SOCOM a month after the murders. He was also on Seal Team Six from 1999 to 2015.
Sounds like they were looking for a bloodthirsty killer and they found one.
‘Fun Fact! You can easily tell fully aquatic drug mules from fully terrestrial drug mules by looking at their limbs. Terrestrial drug mules have calves the size of cantaloupes for running while aquatic drug mules have upper arms the size of grapefruit for swimming!’

Of course, the Coast Guard aren’t real armed forces.
There was a commercial that called the USCG ‘the other armed force’ or ‘the fifth armed force’, but I don’t remember exactly.
With his autopen.
Here is one from 1980 (it’s actually 2 commercials, but the first one is USCG, the other is for the USO). It has the tagline at the end, “AN ARMED SERVICE AND MORE.” James Earl Jones does the voice-over in it, because I guess they wanted Darth Vader to promote them.
There is also this 1990 video with Lou Gossett, Jr actually appearing in it as himself. It was supposed to look like Miami Vice. There is no relevant tagline, but I’m including it anyway because in this scenario trying to show how great they are, they chase down the drug-smugglers and force them to surrender. They don’t just blow them up without any warning.
Damn, the woke mind virus goes back farther than we originally thought!
The utter GALL of those scoundrels to try to salvage their capsized boat in the middle of the ocean, instead of letting themselves drown! Truly an act deserving of being blown up by a flying robot.
“What are we supposed to do? Just let them get on the boat, and keep taking their drugs to the United States to kill babies? ARE YOU IN FAVOR OF KILLING BABIES?!?!”
"…You could, you know, propel your boat over to them and arrest them.
“We can do that? Since when?!”
This could be placed both in this thread and the Stupid MFers thread.
A Kansas CPA attempted to screw his family members by transferring money to a nonexistent ranch, which was aptly named. (bolding mine)
According to KSN-TV in Kansas, court records show that 45-year-old Quintin Flanagin, a CPA, used his status as a signatory on his clients’ business account and trust account to take money from them and transfer it to “Middle Finger Ranch,” a made-up name linked to his personal account.
Between December 2021 and August 2022, checks and wire transfers totaling $409,710 were deposited in Flanagin’s account. The memo lines of the checks indicated they were for farm operations.
He’ll be spending the next 4 years trying not to get screwed while behind bars.
There’s a reason they’re called “trusts”. You need to be able to trust the people managing them for you, or else you’ll find your trust (both kinds) has been misplaced / rehomed.
