Two legal issues at work in Venezuela asTrump Admin uses criminal charges to obscure regime change. Maduro’s indictment and arrest may be upheld, but that does not negate violation of UN Charter, approved by Congress in 1945, and constitutional duty to take care that laws be faithfully executed.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

Donald Trump claims the United States of America had boats in Greenland in 1725, over fifty years before the United States of America existed.
This ridiculous buffoon is so breathtakingly stupid.

Trump: We need Greenland for national protection. They have a very small population. They say Denmark, but Denmark has no military protection. They say that Denmark was there 300 years ago with a boat—well, we were there with boats too I’m sure.
