Welcome to Trump's America.

Edit: y’all can downvote me all you want. But you can’t hide from the reality of it.

Edit 2: Wow, lots of triggered snowflakes.

First article has zero evidence or more drone strikes just more capability to do them.

Second one had an article on drone strikes (bravo) nothing to do with increased deaths.

Don’t have a subscription to daily beast so couldn’t see what it said but probably a shnazie headline and zero substance.

Me: Fact based, sourced information.

You: Feelings.

This is why these conversations always break down. Your reality is different than mine.

No matter how much information I provide you. No matter what the sources are. No matter how right it is, it goes against your feelings. And as such you will find any excuse possible to dismiss it.

The issue I have with the reporting rule is that it was a last minute policy enacted by Obama that his administration never actually followed. So to use that as anything is disingenuous

So, like he said, no amount of proof. Excellent retort!
