Remember when Trump said in his first campaign that he could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot someone and it wouldn’t make a difference.
I believe this was a forewarning. #Venezuela

If the excuse of attacking Venezuela is to liberate it from tyranny, then the question has to be asked, "Who will liberate the USA?"

The only people that thought Trump was joking were Americans with their heads up their asses, on both sides of the aisle. Your president is dangerous. What are you doing about it?!?!
