Maybe somebody posted this, and I missed it. NYT says our special forces are "advising" Ecuadoran authorities in support of large-scale raids against drug facilities across their nation.

At least we didn't invade them. When I first saw this I thought "we're attacking Ecuador?". Fortunately, we aren't.

U.S. Special Forces soldiers are advising and supporting Ecuadorean commandos on raids across the country against suspected drug shipment facilities and other drug-related sites.

I was 5 during Tet. I remember a war being on TV, and it kept interrupting Roadrunner (a sure way to torgue-off a 5-yr old).

To be fair, the situation there appears to be completely different. No foreign-supported aggressor in sight. No civil war (it ended over 100 years ago). I think it's more "war against drugs" thing...a bottomless pit into which endless money can be thrown with no real benefit.

Trump is using the DOJ as a weapon, but I don't think his goal is to attack his enemies. I think his goal is to destroy the DOJ.

Judges all over the country Reagan, Bush I & II, Clinton, Obama, Biden, and even Trump judges are finding that the Trump AUSAs are lying to them.

I did not mean to post this here. I thought I started a new thread.

There was an article about that posted yesterday. A piece about Kegsbreath threatening Latin American countries that don't toe Generalissimo Trump's line, allegedly about "drugs".

Seems this is the program that Noem is being moved to.

Supposed to be a formal announcement on Saturday, seeming the favorite day of the week for God and Savior Trump to drop bombs, both physical and policy.
