So, POTUS deports Venezuelans here for asylum and calls them “scum” then decides to oust their government to…protect Venezuelans? Didn’t make sense. Oh! Now he’s running their country and stealing their oil? Yes, that makes sense now.

This war is completely illegitimate: 60% of Americans disapprove of going to war with Venezuela—74% disapprove war without Congressional approval. Only 19% are in favor.
The people oppose it. Our representatives didn’t approve it. Trump should be removed for this unconstitutional war.

Sen. Lee now says Rubio told him, "the kinetic action we saw tonight was deployed to protect and defend those executing the arrest warrant." So, POTUS needed to blow up airports to protect our soldiers following his order to kidnap a sovereign nation’s leader. Do I have this right?

Sad to say: we check all the boxes here. Wicked Russia of the West.
We're Russia now. A rogue state run by a dictator who invades sovereign nations without provocation, openly corrupt, selling off the nation to its oligarchs, squashing free speech, attacking political enemies, crushing dissidents/LGBT/minorities, state Christianity, even a white/blue/red flag. 🇷🇺🇺🇸🤬🤮

Trump’s moves with Venezuela are not only a giant attempt to distract people from the Epstein files STILL not being fully released - and from the fact that Republican leaders are causing skyrocketing healthcare costs, pushing millions off healthcare; it’s also a blatantly unconstitutional oil grab.

If Donald Trump wanted these records reviewed and released quickly, they would be. Lawyers from other government agencies could be deployed to assist with the review. Nonlawyers could handle many of the administrative tasks. Trump could pressure compliant private law firms to contribute resources.

Stephen Miller's argument that the U.S. shouldn't take immigrants from "failed societies" overlooks the fact that the failure of other societies is what drives people to seek a better life here. It's what Miller's own ancestors did.
