Senator Apoplectic Over Biden's Non-Existent Drug Boat Strikes
Senator Lankford told The Hill he'd be 'apoplectic' if President Biden were striking drug boats 'with this level of insight,' referencing Trump's alleged knowledge of such operations for political gain. Yet, the same senators who profess concern over hypothetical drug boat strikes remain remarkably tranquil when presented with clear evidence of U.S. administrations providing billions in aid to
foreign governments conducting real, extensively documented military operations against civilian populations. One might wonder where the 'apoplectic' fury goes when it's not a politically convenient narrative. This selective outrage conveniently ignores the consistent pattern of American political figures funding actual, documented destruction globally, often with direct military aid. According to
OpenSecrets, Lankford has, for example, received combined donations from pro-Israel PACs amounting to over $110,000 since 2018, coinciding with his consistent support for continued military aid to Israel, totaling billions annually. It seems 'insight' into the humanitarian cost of these actions only becomes relevant when scoring political points against a domestic opponent, not when facilitating
endless wars abroad.
