You don't have to listen to these professional liars who are barely trying. 9 months ago they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty
Vance pushes back and says this was not illegal, arguing "Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism. You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas."

The President of the United States of America took over another country without so much as talking to a member of congress.

it’s good to have your shows when you’re an elderly insomniac
Trump to Fox & Friends on the raid that captured Maduro: "I mean, I watched it literally l like I was watching a television show. If you would've seen the speed, the violence -- it was an amazing thing."

The aging pedophile who wants to be a king has kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation without congressional approval.

If the United States had an opposition party, they would treat this as an illegitimate act and start impeachment proceedings immediately.

The cuckold Congress is kept out of the loop on extra-constitutional activities of rogue president.

i think it’s hilarious that the DOJ thinks it’s competent to carry out such a prosecution

this statement is entirely to argue for the legality of this action, weak sauce
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

I’m thinking this morning about all the people I spoke to last year who were absolutely convinced, and tried to convince me, that Trump would be antiwar compared to Biden and Harris.

In the past week alone he has attacked Nigeria and then Venezuela and also threatened to attack Iran (again).

This person went on a buying spree over the past 24 hours. Fresh wallet. Only existed since Dec 27th and has only bet on Venezuela-related markets.

Lil’ Marco’s Coup.

Venezuela was a supporter of Cuba. Rubio is a Cuban hawk.

Time only tells if a coup achieves the aim of its architects.

How many other Americans even care about this as policy?

Trump was never a good man.
He becomes a lesser man every day.
And feels the need to prove it.
