Inconvenient but since they don't police their cars for dangerous driving. I don't think it will make a difference. You need a better option. How about arresting them for kidnapping. And let the feds get them released through the courts.

If correct it will be the stupidest thing a Senate majority leader has ever done. In the past they at least had committees to make suggestions. Fight we'll get a new Senate too.

This one is accurate. T2 doesn't say we have or got Maduro out. Likely Venezuelans are involved. Muduro's own forces perhaps.
