    That raises the question of whether Mr. Trump has legitimate authority to tell the military to summarily kill people it suspects are smuggling drugs — and whether the administration allowed career military lawyers to weigh in.

    Eat shit NYT, fuck this sanewashing bullshit. "Raises the question"my ass! He absolutely does not have the authority because the law fucking says so! Why does the media bend over fucking backward to lick their own assholes by acting like these are even questions to be answered‽ They have completely abdicated their duty as journalistic media. “Fourth estate” absolute bullshit capitulation to rogue powers with dictatorial intent.

      Extra judicial killings are bread and butter for US presidents, made really popular by Obama.

      This is of course fucked, but there are clear precedents for presidents killing any one, including US citizens, they name a terrorist.
