WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

It is not treason to call out the crimes committed by your own nation. It is not unpatriotic to be against brazen lawlessness and outright thuggery being committed by your military. It takes loving America to refuse to accept the hideous blight on the world that it has become.

The weirdest thing about Americans is how many of them think their laws apply to every person in the world.
But they're certain other countries' laws don't apply to them.

It would only take a tiny handful of Republican Congress members or senators to stop the slide of America toward authoritarian fascism, but nope. They're all in.

Congress has the power and responsibility to authorize the use of military force and declare war. Congress has a duty of oversight. Congress must serve as a check, not a rubber stamp, to the President.

The President's powers come from the Constitution and Congress. There's no third source.
If neither grant a power—and, more importantly, if either prohibit it—then the President doesn't have it. Full stop.

Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. Sounds a little strange, but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding.”
Zelenskyy deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for not punching Trump in the nose for saying the country that invaded Ukraine was being "very generous."

#USA is not at war with #Venezuela unless and until it is authorized by an act of Congress.
Until then, it is an unconstitutional action of 47 involving the DoD in an illegal move in Venezuela.
The people of USA have not authorized a war. Far from it.

Congress needs to call an emergency session about immediate impeachment and removal of Donald J. Trump. Invading a foreign nation and capturing its president is a clear violation of the Constitution.

I voted for a war powers resolution to end hostilities against Venezuela without congressional authorization, which failed on a near party line vote.
