        No idea who that is, but DeSantis has been accused by former detainees as participating in their torture at the camp. Most others can’t say that, not that I respect anyone who worked there.

    It’s not clear how DeSantis plans to identify these supposed cartel members before executing them. He tried to clarify the plan a bit during a Tuesday night interview with CBS, saying, “There’s not going to be authorization to just shoot somebody like that, but when somebody’s got a backpack on and they’re breaking through the wall, you know, that’s hostile intent and you have every right to take action under those circumstances.”

    He said that only people who “appeared” to be members of drug cartels would be targets of deadly force. But he offered no details on what makes someone “appear” to be a cartel member.

    Because backpacks could only be used for transporting drugs. Standard Republican practice to write a vague law and let the police enforce it selectively.

    Just like the Nazis in Ukraine, every Mexican is a cartel member.

    Anyone with a brain should be able to see through this.

    “…and make sure you plant some fentanyl in that baby too! Clearly a drug mule!”

    Nah, I’m sure this’ll go totally fine and will in no way be abused by anyone!
