Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world.
This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

I'm sure that the Venezuelan people are confident in Trump's ability to take wonderful care of them, as exemplified by his nuanced, empathetic touch here in the U.S.
Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country?
There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Please stop writing that the Trump ballroom is being funded “entirely” by private donors and with “no” public money.
Not true.
Funds are being routed through a nonprofit to make the donations tax-deductible. So the public is losing the taxes that won’t be paid on $400 million.

Simple cure...BOYCOTT...They need us more than we need them...They can go bankrupt for all I care....Way over-priced!
Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.
Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.
