How long do you think that'll last after Trump got on TV and said she works for him now? That's a certified puppet.
Venezuela does have a judicial system. They do have prosecutors. They even have a legislative parliament. They must all be very pleased to hear about treason on television.

Can you imagine the fun this administration must have when Tom Homan and Marco Rubio are in the same room and Homan says he's offended by the Spanish language and Marco thinks about his grandpa who only spoke Spanish and loved Reagan.
That must be a hoot.

Maybe instead of a ballroom, he can build a mirror of the West Wing on the East Wing, but instead of having two Oval offices he can make the new office an Obround Office and do Venezuela business there. That way, there's two whole staffs and everyone can stay focused.

Also, since we have the same President now... does this mean that a passport isn't required to enter the USA for Venezuelans?

So I'm curious how this is supposed to work. Does Trump do US business on Mon-Wed-Fri and Venezuela business on Tues-Thur-Sat and then golf on Sundays? Or is this a US business from 8-12, break for lunch and then Venezuela business from 2 (it was an executive lunch) to 5?

Now - why would Congress do this? They won't. UNLESS they're afraid of losing their country club membership (Congress) and that's where the US voters come in, if we can hold our noses long enough to stand next to each other and make it happen.

He could be impeached. Meaning, that's reasonable under the Constitution. He needs authorization for the military operation in order for it be legal. So, Congress could apply pressure as... "We're going to stop you here. If you want authorization, then we get to say how this is resolved.."

I mean, Trump told the world yesterday that the VP there is his bitch and she's going to play ball and ask how high when he says jump.
How does she not get tried for treason?
Whether he negotiated with her to get to this point or not, he's setting her up. She's not the end game.

In Saturday’s news conference, Trump vowed that more U.S. oil companies would go back into Venezuela. (Chevron is already drilling there.) The problem is that any new Venezuelan regime would rapidly lose its legitimacy if it allowed its natural resources to be looted by Yanquis. wapo.st/495KWuH
Opinion | Trump claims the U.S. will ‘run’ Venezuela. What’s the plan?
The raid to nab Maduro was brilliantly executed. The aftermath could get extremely messy.

"Stupid Venezuelans trying to tell Americans how it's going to be... fuck them! Excuse me while I enjoy this privilege and Iced White Chocolate Mocha (with extras)."
No…this guy is wrong about this
Venezuelans don’t get to tell Americans how this ISN’T evisceration of our Constitution + kidnapping of OUR country by a POTUS blatantly subverting & usurping Congress’s sole Article 1 authority to declare war.
It’s about WAY more than removing Maduro from Venezuela

And this guy is right about this... liberals really need to get with it. We're supposed to be the party that fights for justice and democracy. So -- fight for justice and democracy!

What happens next in VZ is largely dependent on US voters. If we decide we're weak and powerless, Trump will do whatever he wants. If we decide that Congress has the authority to apply a tremendous amount of pressure to the situation, then there's a chance the right thing can still happen.
I understand. And that's why what needs to happen is that we put Gonzalez into power because his name was on the ballot that defeated Maduro. He needs to assume the office and THEN we can negotiate with HIS government how we can work together on oil, minerals, etc.. if he says fuck off, then we do.

Trump told you that he promised oil companies that they can celebrate the profits. Just like Trump told you that power utilities want coal... despite most having destroyed their coal-fired plants and already built infrastructure for natural gas as a transitional fuel to clean energy.

I think this is the ultimate problem. He did not step down. The process of removal was violent, criminal, secret and illegal. The people of Venezuela had no voice in this and most likely will remain outside the decision making process. The oligarchs have their grubby hands all over this.

Sort of. But you can't have universal healthcare because you can't convince enough people to vote your interest. If there were enough people willing to vote your interest, it would happen. But look at the Senate. There's "Bernie". One guy out of 100. It needs work.

Had Maduro stepped down as he should have, she would be the Executive Vice President. Gonzalez would be the Commander-in-Chief. That's what needs to happen. Then, if Gonzalez wants to make her the President, that's between he and the People of Venezuela.

This is a Tora Bora moment. We had a decision to make in Dec 2001 that could have ended al-Qaeda on the spot and taken down Omar and the Taliban as well. But the suits in DC didn't want to do that. And we ended up in the shit for 20 years. We can put Gonzalez in power and be done.

I think Trump believing he can run Venezuela is a fucking joke. But where Venezuela differs from Iraq is that Venezuelans understand elections. They understand the concept of democracy. And they voted to oust Maduro. If we put the person they voted for in office, there shouldn't be a chaotic vacuum.

Because we don't want a situation to evolve like what happened with Cuban Floridians in the 60s, that still lingers and makes it near impossible to win the state in an election. There are a lot of Venezuelans in this country, that even if undocumented, their kids are born here and this will linger.
