Nawar Al-Awlaki, a US citizen, was killed January 29, 2017 in a raid on an Al Quaeda training facility in Yemen along with as many as 29 other (Yemeni) civilians.

From the article:

The raid in Yemen was described as "risky from the start and costly in the end"; the "botched" operation raised questions about the choice to go forward with the raid "without sufficient intelligence, ground support or adequate backup preparations".

Her father Anwar, also a US citizen, was killed by drone strike in 2011.

People at the time criticized Obama for ordering the drone strike and killing a US citizen, which is valid and one of the great failures of his term, but Nawar's murder was worse in every way and I only ever see it as a footnote.

Oh, I miss read it as Trump killed is (own) 8 year old daughter.

Which was just plausible enough to bother posting to prompt for a source.

gonna be honest, if i were asking for a source on trump killing his own 8-year-old daughter it would be to verify, not dispute, the allegations. there are few depths to which he could sink that would surprise me

It was exactly that. I might have diapers the veracity of the source but not the premise.

That's a great Freudian slip

I mean, in the Epstein files there is supposedly anstory about Donald Trump killing his bastard newborn in front of the mother and then throwing it into Lake Michigan.

So “just plausible enough” is more like “tame enough that it was Tuesday for him”

Yeah, I'd heard about that one. It's only one step further to order a mob hit on your uppity 8yo illegitimate daughter (whole lot of assumption there).

[-] CalemitousVariantK@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

I see how that could be unclear and will edit.

Turns out my Lemmy app Summit, crashes instead of editing. I would have said this in an edit, but...

There are days I envy Latin's grammar.
