Trump cancels Obama policy of reporting drone strike dea

Source: MSN

In the latest step toward rolling back Obama-era rules for targeted killings, President Donald Trump will no longer require U.S. intelligence officials to publicly disclose the numbers of people killed in drone strikes and other attacks on terrorist targets outside of war zones.

Obama took responsibility for his administration's actions.

When did Conservative become 'do whatever you want/feels good and avoid/scorn the repercussions'?


They are children masquerading as adults.

The adults still notice. The kids aren't good at it.

as they claimed Democrats' morals were phantom, that Democrats practices "situational ethics?"
