President Donald John Trump

[Clodfobble]

Is it true that the National Security Council has authority over the "we promise we'll only use it on bad guys" drone strikes on citizens without due process? I need the cellar to be my reality check, here, because I've had to swear off all political radio/TV/internet for a bit, it's too much.

US would kidnap citizens of other nations only on speculation or fictional accusations. Put them in secret prisons around the world. Or dump them in Guantanamo. Extremist said that is good - and legal. Extremists have returned to power.

We know over 700 of less than 800 prisoners in Guantanamo were innocent. What has changed to avert that stupidity? Nothing. It is still legal. Now we have a president who knows someone is evil only because he 'feels' it is true.

Every non-American in the world has good reason to fear. America can kidnap anyone and put them in secret prisons - without judicial process. Because the victim is not an American citizen. These same extremists (and The Donald) even says torture is good.
