This wasnt war.

It's a law enforcement action.

Did yall forget he has a warrant out for his arrest?

This is a violation of international law and the UN Charter. This is a war crime.

You let foreigners take from Americans. You don't care about the fraudsters from Somalia.

That makes you a crappy person and a bad American.

What do you think about the fraud from Somalians, Zed? What do you think should be done?

Sheesh people. It hasn't even been 48 hours yet. Did you think that a new government would be magically put in place overnight, or that the existing one would just step down or submit without any face-saving measures?

Next stop Greenland.

I know how to make it easier to admire the rich!

If we take their guillotined heads and put them on pikes for everyone to see and admire, it'll be so much easier!

Anyone else notice that because Democrats were not told of this ahead of time, there were no leaks?

-Remember when we were assured the miltary would disobey illegal orders?

No. Who assured you of anything of the sort?

Ok, so I guess nothing is happening in MN, as per DR progressives.

Shame.

-It's really impossible to discuss criminals without discussing Trump.

It's impossible for you.

And you have company, it appears, which is fine.

A man should know his limitations.

If there is any defense of this, you would be seeing it.

That's enough for me.

Yes, the hypocrisy of Trumpers who ignore similar crimes (if not much worse) is telling but hardly necessary to use as a deflection for what's being discovered in Minnesota.

No Zed,

Address the topic of the thread without deflection.

What would you honestly do about the verified fraud coming from somali citizens here in the U.S.?

Would it include getting rid of the people hurting our citizens?

Looking forward to the Trump and Marines Iwo Jima Memorial at the Trump-Arlington National Cemetery.

-So you're educated but still dumb as a box of fckkin rocks.

Educated ... ..LOL

Like an "educated" barista obviously pissed off at the world for his sad place in life.

"Yeah, one of the my jobs is self employed"

That was the day your boss turned into an asshole, isn't it

"Was all this for something other than the well being of The Venezuelan People?"

The primary reason is for regional stability and security, in response to the crisis fueled by the Putin/Xi-backed regime that displaced 8 million people. Regardless of what anyone says, everything else is a sidenote to that, even Trump's grifting.

And don't forget that the Lord allowed a pair of Measles viruses onboard.

If you really believed that, you wouldn't be posting anti-Trump garbage all the time.

Rubio says the US will "retain levers of leverage". Quite the wordsmith.

Any of you MAGA neocons want to weigh in?

"Earlier, opposition leader Mara Corina Machado said that the opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzlez should assume power, saying that he rightfully won the 2024 presidential election."

--she's started a power grab......and you effing idiots are too stupid to understand.

This is the woman I just saw walk outside to thundering applause as people yelled trump's name...

----and the only liars are you people.....figures that you're cowards leaving out the whole story.

---liars.....gd liars....

Somebody wake up Nap-oleon

#61. Are you aware of how many times this country has engaged in regime change? I don't support this but fed calling it a war crime belies a lack of historical. Context.

"President Donald Trump during a news conference said Rodrguez had been sworn in as president shortly before he spoke to reporters and added she had spoken with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

"She is essentially willing to do what we think is necessary to make Venezuela great again. Very simple," Trump said."

;;

Trump lied? How shocking it that!

You can tell we have a republican in office.

Illegal war and a recession. It's like Deja vu.

Insurance companies take and redistribute.

That's all they do.

You must not be very smart if you didn't already know that.

You have a life where you substitute emotion for intelligence.

Remember this?

Are you stupid enough to equate that with actually invading a foreign country, taking over its government, and doing all this without Congressional approval as required by the Constitution?

...you really are a stupid MAGAt Pedo Racist, aren't you?

How many of his own citizens has Putin killed or maimed in war? The answer is about 1.2 million.

If you think that Donald Trump would not be willing to do that to us, you're crazy.

Interesting development.

At a cut rate, the rest was on the tax payer. If you haven't noticed, our government doesn't make a MF thing. They take and redistribute.

Insurance companies don't make a MF thing either.

Not everyone is the coward that you appear to be.

Being given the Montreal Cognitive Assessment once every couple of years is normal to determine if someone may be suffering from early onset dementia, but if it's given over and over again, it's being used to determine the progress of dementia which has already been diagnosed.

Now there are other times when the Montreal Cognitive Assessment is given and I've been in that situation.

Nine years ago I had to have my Aortic Heart Valve replaced. A week prior to the procedure, which was going to be done using the TAVR method...

"...it's interesting that there was once a time where people admired the rich..."

This is horse manure.

"We will run Venezuela."
To steal its oil and rare earth minerals?
A FUBAR fiesta grande in the making..
Buen provecho, MAGAts.

Shrimp, you can't even form a coherent sentence.

Obligatory.

This action is not only illegal (like murdering survivors clinging to wreckage on the open ocean), it flies in the face of logic:

Venezuela is not a major producer of Fentanyl. And most of the cocaine it may (or may not) transship goes to Europe.

How does he explain pardoning Juan Orlando Hernndez, who ran a sprawling drug operation when he was president of Honduras? Hundreds of tons of cocaine!

And how does this square with Trump calling out the folly of President George W. Bush's Iraq war?

Just recently, during the 2024 election, he said: "I'm not going to start a war. I'm going to stop wars."

Gullible rubes believe Trump. The rest of us know he lies ... even when he doesn't have to.

The USA has fallen. What remains is a Russia-styled kleptocracy and farcical Clown Car of incompetents and malevolent fraudsters, racists, and grifters.

We have become what until recently we told the world we despised.
I am ashamed of this government and the elected leaders who stay silent, complicit.

"Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He's weak and he's ineffective. So the only way he figures that he's going to get reelected -- and as sure as you're sitting there -- is to start a war with Iran".
Donald J. Trump, Nov 2011

This is a violation of international law and the UN Charter. This is a war crime.

Green light to China and Russia.

Did I mention how he sworn in?
#13 | Posted by BillJohnson

No you mentioned his beady eyes and untrustworthy appearance.

Are we not supposed to think it's racist, when you choose to hate on someone you already hate, this time because of their physical features?

Explain why it's not racist.

I will leave you with a quote that perfectly describes how your brand of racism operates:

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for those are their opinions. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past." - Jean-Paul Sartre, 1946.

You're missing the STFU part, loser. So you're educated but still dumb as a box of fckkin rocks.

I'm not losing my ACA subsidy.
You are.

"A starting point that should be improved, instead of blindly and mercilessly castigated by the GOP."

It's like a house you're living in, with NO UPKEEP for 15 years.

Then these preeeeks remove the windows and the doors.

And now they're mad at YOU their heating bill has gone up.

"But I've yet to see any better solution proposed by the GOP since then."

Stop right there. That's very, VERY UNFAIR. Better solution?!? There's never been ANY solution. EVER.

Actual proposals require lots of legwork. Proposals, meetings, public input, rewrites, advice from professionals throughout the chain.

Republicans, for all their barf and blather, have addressed NONE OF THESE FOUNDATIONAL PILLARS.

FFS, they don't even have a CONCEPT of a plan.

"You're going to have such great healthcare at a tiny fraction of the cost..."

Since he clearly has no idea what a PERCENTAGE is, do you really expect him to understand fractions?!?

We are a sovereign nation and are not governed by the UN charter.

The United States created the United Nations.
The United States signed the UN Charter.
The United States Senate ratified it.

But it doesn't bind us?
Now that is some first rate Republican logic!

@#48

Possibly apples and oranges.

From @#47

... At a press conference lead by Trump, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio appeared to cast the operation as one of law enforcement, rather than a war declaration, saying " ... at its core, this was an arrest of two indicted fugitives of American justice and the Department of War supported the Department of Justice in that job."

Jeremy Paul, an expert on constitutional law at Northeastern University in the US, said Rubio's argument was "plausible," but subsequent statements by the president about the US "running" Venezuela and its oil fields "completely undermined" that rationale. ...

"Everything that President Trump said about the oil fields, about running the country, about working with various Venezuelan officials ... All of that completely undermines the rationale that that Secretary of State Rubio put forward. It's totally inconsistent." ...
