NYT Ed Board: Trump Is the Jan. 6 President.

"Trump dares the system to stop him. He does so knowing that the same system that failed to hold him to account for Jan. 6 is unlikely to do so."

"In Mr. Trump's second term, he has governed as if Jan. 6 never ended. The damage to the nation is severe."

#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.
