He consulted with the oil companies but not the Congress.
Think about that.

Reporter: Did you speak with the oil companies before the operation? Did you tip them off?
Trump: Before and after. They want to go in and they’re going to do a great job.

About a dozen tankers loaded with Venezuelan crude and fuel departed in recent days from the country's waters in dark mode, seemingly breaking a strict blockade imposed by the U.S. amid intense pressure that mounted until the capture of deposed President Nicolas Maduro, monitoring service TankerTrackers.com said.

Actually, that exactly how JURISDICTION works unless you have an extradition treaty
Vance pushes back and says this was not illegal, arguing "Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism. You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas."

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

A US president uses his for-profit (but money losing) social media site to announce a military strike against a foreign sovereign nation and the seizure by military force of a foreign government leader. Says a lot about where things are at in the US in 2026.

You're going to be seeing a lot of this deranged Trump clip from 2023:
He says we should have toppled Venezuela and taken the oil, which is terrible, terrible oil and will pollute the hell out of us.

I think it’s really time for lobby journalists to start pushing this one - saying that a native feature of Twitter is creating child pornography and asking whether they think it’s the best platform for official comms. It’s gone way, way too far.
This does seem just a little bit bad! Idk the sort of thing you’d think politicians might distance themselves from or something!
