Obama Killed a 16-Year-Old American in Yemen. Trump Just Killed His 8-Year-Old Sister.

IN 2010, President Obama directed the CIA to assassinate an American citizen in Yemen, Anwar al-Awlaki, despite the fact that he had never been charged with (let alone convicted of) any crime, and the agency successfully carried out that order a year later with a September, 2011 drone strike. While that assassination created widespread debate – the once-again-beloved ACLU sued Obama to restrain him from the assassination on the ground of due process and then, when that suit was dismissed, sued Obama again after the killing was carried out – another drone-killing carried out shortly thereafter was perhaps even more significant yet generated relatively little attention.

  1. Earlier today, without even knowing this, I had to remind a left/SJW "Trump resister" acquaintance who was mad that "white nationalist" Steve Bannon is now on the "kill list drawing team" that extrajudicial assassination of American citizens isn't "lawful" because it is unconstitutional and didn't start with Trump.

  3. Killing US citizens I'd a worry. However, most of the US citizens killed have been very nominal citizens, with little or no attachment to America.

    The problem then is less the killing of US citizens than the lessening of US citizenship to the extent that it is easy for even open and avowed enemies to acquire.

    1. The problem is killing. With an emphasis on killing innocent children.

  4. It's not just Yemenis who hate the State for being murderous.
    Good job Trump, hope you sleep good you murderous POS, that little girl really kept me up at night worrying about her murderous mindset.
    Libertarians need to quit their stupid arguments about stupid this and that, stupid Austrian who's right and wrong, and we need to shout out at the tops of our lungs that these people are MURDERERS. Who cares about all the other technical blabber BS.
    Real time.
    Now.
    Murder.
    Screw politics. "Who is better or worse from a libertarian perspective?" Good grief what a fn waste of time and energy.
    Who cares?!
    We need to hate the State!!
    We hate the state!
    Period!
    What else is there???
    I am seriously close to thinking libertarianism is just another joke.
    Blah blab blab theory, but really hoping to be in the "in" crowd.
    Maybe people will like us.
    #frustrated whatever libertarian anarchist.
