There is a grave moral consequence to letting this go on. Shut down the government, have a general strike, grind the country to a halt, hit the streets. But not treating a demented administration lying about its thugs committing cold-blooded murder as an emergency? That is an emergency in itself.

Anyone not actively involved in impeaching and no other activity should just resign. There is no government until he is gone. Pretending otherwise props up him, not government.
The number of ways this is unconstitutional lunacy

Since some are confused:

1. SCOTUS did not hold that Trump is immune from prosecution for anything at all that he does.

2. Even if it had (and it did not) we must name all his crimes.

3. Nothing SCOTUS has or could hold prevents Congress from impeaching and removing any President, for any reason.

NEW: Sen. Mark Kelly RESPONDS to Pete Hegseth for censuring him, cutting his military pension, threatening to demote his rank, and warning of possible criminal prosecution for telling soldiers to obey their oath.

Trump didn't even consult with the leader of the Venezuelan opposition before decapitating their government because he's jealous she won a Nobel Peace Prize and his felonious warmongering ass did not.

We are a country whose Constitution, according to the Supreme Court, gives our own presidents immunity for crimes committed while in office, but we will prosecute presidents of other countries for alleged crimes and invade them to execute arrest warrants.

Can afford: bombing and “running”Venezuela

Can’t afford: universal healthcare, food stamps, and childcare.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

It’s exhausting and boring, but because the wilful misunderstanders will be out in force some of us are going to have to spend a lot of time saying:

No, we do not like or support Maduro.

We like and support the rule of law.
Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela.

Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law.

Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

Even if Trump’s attack on Venezuela and kidnapping of Maduro somehow led to a positive impact on Venezuela’s future, it would not make these actions by the United States legal, moral or wise.

Normalising and legitimising this behaviour endangers all countries - democracies and dictatorships alike.

Strange how trump is so concerned about Iran killing protesters, when he has indicated his own desire to do just that here.
