The executive branch and Congress are circulating a draft of legislation which would legally authorize the president to kill people he deems narco-terrorists and attack countries he says helped them.
Draft legislation is circulating at the White House and on Capitol Hill that would hand President Trump sweeping power to wage war against drug cartels he deems to be “terrorists,” as well as against any nation he says has harbored or aided them, according to people familiar with the matter.
A wide range of legal specialists have said that U.S. military attacks this month on three boats suspected of smuggling drugs in the Caribbean Sea — the third of which Mr. Trump announced on Friday evening — have been illegal. Huh.
First, he kills foreigners in international waters without presenting evidence and without authority.
Second, he'll kill drug dealers inside U.S. borders without arrest or trial.
Third, he'll kill U.S. citizens without arrest or trial.
Well, that adds a little light to the recent decision by Trumpedo to designate Antifa a "terrorist organization."

Take a look around you
It ain't too complicated
