Everybody knows that the dice are loaded, everybody rolls with their fingers crossed.
Everybody knows the war is over, everybody knows the good guys lost.
Everybody knows the fight was fixed, the poor stay poor, the rich get rich.
That's how it goes.
Everybody knows.

Huh. Today I learned that “Venezuela” rhymes with “Poland”… you know, in the “history doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes” way.

Is it time for DO SOMETHING yet, or is it still “we’re very displeased & here’s a mildly worded media bite” time?

This is how you do it. No preamble to swear to God you don't like Maduro.

The appropriate Democratic response is that the president is out of control.

You don’t need to repeat his Maduro talking points. Stop being pussies.

Donald Trump cannot be trusted to lead America into war. He is unaccountable to America. He is lawless. He only seeks conflict to cover up for his failures. Congress must step up and reassert its power. No more forever wars.

The “peace” President has started a war.
He'll start a war to:

1. Distract from the Epstein Files
2. Steal oil
3. Justify emergency powers
4. Justify use of the AEA for deportation/internment
5. Help the drug lord he just pardoned

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country?

There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world.

This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

Errrrrrrr.... could we get some more detail on that?
We know it'll take some time to get things back into order, but we *do* have an elected president, Eduardo González so the sooner he's sworn in, the better.

Happening now: several hundred people are pouring into Chicago's downtown Federal Plaza.

It's 25 degrees outside.

Organizers are leading the crowd in a chant of, "no boots on the ground, no bombs in the air!"

Two protesters hold a large banner reading, "no war for Venezuela oil."

Unconstitutional force. Civilians dead. Congress bypassed. Oil interests front and center.

We’ve seen this movie before and it ends in blood. But we don’t have to do it again.

SCHUMER: We are saying to the Republicans, this is your responsibility ... This is one time you've gotta resist him. It's too serious.

REPORTER: Are you hearing anything?

SCHUMER: We have heard from some Republicans in private conversations...that they are troubled about this. But not much more
