What is the point of having a Congress if they won't exercise their congressional power over regulation, budgeting, appointments, and war?
The unitary executive renders the legislature wholly irrelevant.
We have a King.
Am Unamerican unpatriotic betrayal of the founding ideals of this country.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

These people are sick, rabid dogs and we need to do the humane thing.
Donald Trump is now reposting videos on Truth Social suggesting that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had Melissa Hortman assassinated.
This is objectively evil, and calling it out should not be political.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.
I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Just thinking about the layers of military leadership that are going to need to be courtmartialed after this and how many folks are going to get promotions. We need to do a much better job of vetting people for leadership next go-round.

We invaded so Trump and his billionaire friends could make a buck. Your kids bleeding for oil money AGAIN.
Q: China, Russia, and Iran have interests in Venezuela. How does this operation affect your relationships with them?
TRUMP: In terms of other countries that want oil, we're in the oil business. We're gonna sell it to them. We'll be selling oil.

also: no, this is not going to be popular
the entire concept of invading was polling deeply underwater before they did this and while I expect a bit of a jump there from the cult I don’t see any reason to expect anyone else to rally around the flag
stop shitting your pants and oppose it

this is the cartoon version of American imperialism - we’re going and kidnapping foreign leaders because we want the oil and saying that out loud on the television - and if you can’t just flat out oppose that without qualifications get out of the way

you simply do not have to preface your statements about this with “but Maduro sucks”
whether or not Maduro sucks is entirely beside the point - we invaded another country and grabbed their leader with no justification other than “we wanted to”
don’t give them cover on it

This is *extremely* weak leadership from Jeffries and Schumer. When the wannabe king ignores congress to initiate regime change abroad, they are requesting a fucking briefing sometime soon.

Vance is too stupid to realize he has just endorsed the extrajudicial extradition of Americans. Any trip abroad by a current or especially former government official is potentially fraught with danger.

It's kinda wild that the CEO of the fucking @theonion.com has more leadership skills and moral clarity than Congress.
Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

News: Gang of Eight in Congress were only notified about Trump's Venezuela operation after it began, source familiar tells me. That means the heads of the Intelligence Committees in Senate and House were *not* consulted. Just crazy.

By retreating only to "kitchen table issues" to avoid being labeled "woke," Democratic leaders have left an open goal for the GOP. When you treat the harassment of vulnerable communities as a "distraction" rather than a crisis, you're not avoiding a fight: you're just forfeiting it.
