I just heard a commentator say basically "well, how would Americans like it if some other country kidnapped trump and his wife and sent them off for trial?"
I would guess that most Americans would be grateful.

Two minutes. That’s all it takes to defend the Constitution. Trump does not have the power to wage an illegal war on Venezuela. Congress has a sworn duty to stop him—and only public pressure will force it.
Democracy doesn’t defend itself.

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela.
Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law.
Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

You don’t just grab the leader of a nation twice the size of Texas and declare victory. Have we learned nothing in the last 25 years? How does any of this improve the lives of Americans? Congress must act immediately! Do your jobs! @wellmanformo.bsky.social #teamwellman #venezuela #missouri #mo2

What really gets me about moments like this is we're often told we can't blame the voters. Well, yeah, we can. They knew what he was like and didn't give a fuck so long as they personally benefited.

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."

Take this anger with you into doing what we can. Speak out against whats going on, don't be silent. And don't you dare abstain from voting. We know they want to undermine the way our system works but we can and WILL vote these people out. Make it by a wide margin. Do all you can to fight.

Several historic crimes, actually
Smith “forcefully rebutted claims that his work was tainted by politics and delivered a granular defense of his office’s tactics and prosecution strategy — all while repeatedly restating his view that Trump was guilty of a historic crime.”

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"
