"Instead of interdicting it, on the president’s orders, we blew it up - and it’ll happen again. The president has a right to eliminate immediate threats to the US. This president is not a talker; he’s a doer.” - Marco Rubio re the extrajudicial killing of 11 people in international waters.

So in other words, labeling someone as a threat justifies the murder of defenseless civilians.

"Anna Kelly, a White House spokeswoman, emphasized in a statement late on Wednesday that the strike took place in international waters and did not put American troops at risk." -- Oh, okay, the murders happened far away and the murderers weren't in danger. That's reassuring. I guess there's nothing for Americans to worry about.

In his first term, Trump threatened to send Secret Service agents to all the polling places. RNC was under a court order for decades because of their shenanigans in the 80's in polling places , preventing them from intimidating voters at the polls. The court order expired in Dec, 2017. At about the same time Trump had his voter fraud commission investigating voter fraud. You may recall every SOS had to send their voter rolls to Pence!! I believe even the GOP LA SOS told Trump to go jump into the Gulf of Mexico (we could call it that then). He wasn't giving up his voter rolls!

From The New York Times, in an article entitled "Trump Claims the Power to Summarily Kill Suspected Drug Smugglers":

"Mr. Trump has long wanted not just to make greater use of the military on domestic soil but to take much harsher steps against drug dealers, including saying they should get the death penalty. In his first term, he praised then-President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines for doing an 'unbelievable job on the drug problem' in the nation where Mr. Duterte’s government had sanctioned gunning down suspected drug dealers in the streets. Mr. Duterte was arrested this year and is facing charges of crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court over his drug war... It is a war crime for troops to deliberately kill civilians—even criminals—who are not directly participating in hostilities. Whether Mr. Trump is directing service members to commit war crimes, then, turns on whether he has legitimate power to unilaterally redefine drug smugglers as combatants."

I guess Canada (Alberta) is in the same place as FL. The measles cases are skyrocketing as I understand it from Dean. That's MAGA for you.
