Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

President Donald Trump says the US has captured Venezuela's leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife as he confirms "large scale" strike against the country. He adds that Maduro has been flown out of the country, though details remain scarce

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.

Im seeing discussions about consultations with congress, authorizations of force etc. I have to say this transcends any of what I would call sub constitutional technicalities. The president has gone to war with a foreign power and, it seems, kidnapped a foreign head of state on the basis of nothing.

An administration that pardoned the Honduran President for massive crimes involving importing hundreds of tons of cocaine into America now, with a straight face, saying it is perfectly legal for it to kidnap the leader of a foreign country to stand trial in the US. President of Panama Noriega was taken by the US and was convicted of major crimes...so there is precedent.

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.

A war there, in that terrain, is less "winnable" than Iraq ever was. Vietnam rings a bell.

There hasn't been a declaration of war since 1941.

Congress has abdicated its duty to represent the people for decades when it comes to identifying a war and US engagement.

Acts of War have been commonplace for decades and both parties see no problem with them.

This is just one more Act that Congress and the voters are responsible. Asking Congress to stop the Executive from acting on its own fails. They have their votes from one lever voters.

Most of them are likely in favor of it. You clearly have no idea how much of problem the displacement of 25% of Venezuela's population by the Chavez/Maduro regime has caused to the entire region.

And before anyone brings up Iraq again, unlike that country Venezuela's actually had a long history of stable democracy prior to those thugs subverting it (with Moscow and Beijing's support).

"Daniela says Venezuelans were expecting a US military operation for quite a while and adds that for her, the overnight strikes are "almost a relief to know it had finally happened".
'I am so happy my chest hurts'
Like others in Venezuela, Maria, not her real name, had also been expecting a US military strike but was surprised how early in the new year it happened.
She says "I am so happy my chest hurts"."

President Trump said the United States would "run" Venezuela "until such time that we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition," following the U.S. military operation that captured the country's president, Nicols Maduro, and his wife.

Mr. Trump offered no details about how the United States would oversee Venezuela, or for how long. It was not clear whether that would involve an occupying military force or the installation of a pliant government. But the president spoke at length about American oil companies remaking the country's energy infrastructure and, presumably, regaining rights they once held to Venezuela's vast oil reserves.

Mr. Trump said Mr. Maduro, who had led the country since 2013, and his wife were being taken to New York to face drug and weapons charges. A newly unsealed indictment of Mr. Maduro and his wife is similar to one handed up against the Venezuelan leader in 2020.

Russia is now ------ ...

"This is not ---- funny, you underdeveloped idiots. Soon it won't even be profitable for us to extract oil. In a couple of months we'll starve to death. This is checkmate for the entire economy of the underdeveloped traitor Putin. May he die, a real bastard. A talentless, stinking piece of f***ot trash. This is a nightmare for us. They will drop the price of oil below the floor and take over the entire market. Now, on top of everything else, they'll also have oil. This is a total ---- disaster. And we'll be left without internet, drowning in taxes, hugging our ---- oil. The political leadership of our country needs to be killed. They are inherently insane. And they are traitors. They should be hanged. The political leadership of our country needs to be killed. They are inherently insane. And they are traitors. They should be hanged.

Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska warns that if the US secures control over Venezuela's oil fields, after already moving into Guyana, it could end up overseeing more than half of the world's reserves. In his view, Washington would then be able to hold oil prices near $50 a barrel, putting serious pressure on Russia's state-capitalist economic model.

#97 Onepigiornsmoothbrainaut says that Democrats are "losing."

Quite obviously, Onepigiornsmoothbrainaut didn't get the November/December 2025 scorecard:

'Tis like shooting fish in a barrel ...

-> Georgia voters ousted two Republican members of the state's Public Service Commission in favor of two Democrats - the first Democrats to win statewide nonfederal offices in decades.

-> Democrats in Mississippi Break the G.O.P.'s State House Supermajority

-> Every single county in Virginia - even deeply red counties - saw shifts TOWARDS the Democrats, as opposed to how they voted 1 year ago.

-> Dems flip Wichita School Board from a 4-3 GOP majority to a 5-2 Democratic majority. Democratic candidates Amy Warren and Amy Jensen defeated Republican incumbents Hazel Stabler and Kathy Bond.

-> Two of Tuesday's school board elections were in Bucks County, Pa., which was considered "ground zero" for right-wing groups' takeover of school boards in 2021. A few years ago, conservatives on these boards in Pennbridge and Central Bucks districts were using their roles to pass policies targeting LGBTQ+ students and banning books.

---> Democrats flipped control of both boards in 2023, and on Tuesday, they ousted every Republican from both of these boards, except for one. The Pennbridge school board is now 8-1, with Democratic members in control. The Central Bucks school board is 9-0.

-> In Texas, we even won in Lockhart, which sits in a district so red that Democrats normally don't even run. We had a clean sweep in Cy-Fair ISD, another deeply red area that not even Greg Abbott could save your party.

-> In SD-9, another red district, we saw an 8 point shift for the Democrat

-> Eileen Higgins elected as first Democratic mayor of Miami in three decades


Live in the now, Onepigiornsmoothbrainaut.

Many Venezuelans did not panic, they cheered from their homes when they saw the helicopters. This was not random or uninformed support. Roughly 75% of Venezuelans voted for Mara Corina Machado, backing her platform and her openly stated plan to pursue cooperation with the United States, including the possibility of U.S. intervention, to remove Nicols Maduro from power in exchange for reopening Venezuela to free trade.

This will destabilize an already unstable country.

This will result in mass migration of Venezuelans as the violence of those seeking power takes hold

This will not result in America stealing oil (though that is both an illegal and immoral justification)

U.S. President Donald Trump said during a press conference on Saturday was "just sworn in" as president of Venezuela

The Venezuelan government has not announced that Rodriguez was sworn in and several sources told Reuters she was in Russia, though the Russian state news agency denied the report.

Trump said that the U.S. would be running Venezuela in the immediate future and that Rodriguez has said she is "willing to do what we think is necessary to make Venezuela great again."

Maduro has called Rodriguez a "tiger" for her diehard defense of his socialist government. * She works closely with her brother, Jorge Rodriguez, who is the head of the national assembly legislature. * Caracas native Rodriguez, 56, was born on May 18, 1969 and is the daughter of left-wing guerrilla fighter Jorge Antonio Rodriguez,

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene

@RepMTG
I've served on the Homeland Security Committee for the past three years. I'm 100% for strong safe secure borders and stopping narco terrorists and cartels from trafficking deadly drugs and human trafficking into America.

Fentanyl is responsible for over 70% of U.S. drug overdose deaths and fentanyl comes from Mexican cartels made with chemical precursors from China and trafficked across the U.S. Mexico border.

Mexican cartels are primarily and overwhelmingly responsible for killing Americans with deadly drugs.

If U.S. military action and regime change in Venezuela was really about saving American lives from deadly drugs then why hasn't the Trump admin taken action against Mexican cartels?

And if prosecuting narco terrorists is a high priority then why did President Trump pardon the former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez who was convicted and sentenced for 45 years for trafficking hundreds of tons of cocaine into America?

Of course, this LATEST EPSTEIN DISTRACTION gives him the opportunity to LIE about the 2020 Election every few minutes as he talks about Maduro's election rigging.

This is the BIGGEST win for a couple key players:

1. US Oil companies no longer competing with Venezuala and price spikes until the US government spends a trillion dollars to give them access to Venezuala oil
2. OPEC no longer competing with Venezuala and price spikes
3. Venezuala drug gangs as the entire Venezuala government and law enforcement aparatus is essentially gone

Did this lower your rent? Did this lower your grocery prices? Did this lower your gas prices? No.

This is just another Iraq. We invaded a country to stop their supply of oil and put billions in the pockets of US Oil Execs.

And we will have to spend a trillion dollars to prop up Venezuala now so we can hand it to US oil companies.

#204 Major DEI Boazo claims that, "progressives love themselves a dictator."

Whoops ...

Donald Trump has a documented history of expressing admiration or having good relations with several leaders widely considered to be authoritarian or dictatorial strongmen. He has praised their leadership styles, strength, and control over their respective countries.

Leaders often cited in media reports and political commentary as those Trump has praised include:

  • Kim Jong Un (North Korea): Trump famously spoke of their "beautiful letters" and said they "fell in love," describing Kim as "very smart" and having a "very good personality".

  • Vladimir Putin (Russia): Trump has often praised Putin's strength and control over Russia, contrasting it with American leadership and downplaying accusations that Putin is a "killer".

  • Xi Jinping (China): Trump has called Xi "brilliant," "strong like granite," and praised his ability to rule 1.4 billion people with an "iron hand". He also reportedly expressed approval when China's parliament moved to abolish presidential term limits.

  • Viktor Orbn (Hungary): Trump has praised the Hungarian Prime Minister, who has transformed his country into an authoritarian state by rigging the electoral system and suppressing free press and speech.

  • Recep Tayyip Erdoan (Turkey): Trump has referred to Erdoan as a "friend" who is doing a "great job" and receiving "very, very high marks" for governing "very, very strongly," despite crackdowns on dissent and journalists in Turkey.

  • Rodrigo Duterte (Philippines): Trump reportedly lauded the former Philippine President's handling of his country's "drug problem," despite widespread human rights abuses and extrajudicial killings committed by police and vigilante groups.

  • Other historical figures: Trump has made comments perceived as praise for historical dictators, including Saddam Hussein, Moammar Gaddafi, and, according to former Chief of Staff John Kelly, Adolf Hitler (specifically regarding German economic growth and military loyalty)

Like this?

On his fourth day in office, Trump signed an executive order rescinding Obama-era policies that prioritized the detention and removal of serious public safety threats;

Within a few months, his administration was secretly separating families, using prosecutorial resources to jail migrant parents and focusing resources on visa overstays, not serious criminals;

During the height of family separation, Trump deprioritized prosecuting migrants with criminal histories to instead spend resources on separating families;

While Trump poured resources into detaining asylum seekers, he also released nearly 58,184 noncitizens with criminal records, including 8,620 violent criminals and 306 murderers;

ICE ended up (re)arresting nearly 11,000 noncitizens who entered under Trump and were convicted of non-immigration crimes, including rape and murder; and

Trump's policies incentivized migrant criminals to enter, triggering a threefold increase in the number of convicted criminals attempting to cross the border illegally.

At bottom is the SDNY indictment against Nicolas Maduro et al.

From the beginning, the bellicose Trumpf junta intention was to overthrow Nicolas Maduro and take over Venezuela, as evidenced by the previous DOJ and DoS moves against the Maduro regime (see links at bottom).

The 2025 DoD and DoS purges were to ensure loyalty and commitment to the neo-imperialism policy of the US, as written in the National Security Strategy released in November 2025.

Now we know why there was so much celebration and hubris at the Trumpf New Year's Eve gala: "War is coming! Yippee!"

In 2025, some House Democrats attempted to impeach Dummkopf Trumpf for attacking Iran and abuse of POTUS power, but were stymied by fellow Democrats: "Now is not the time," "the measure won't pass," Yada-yada-yada.

Democrats also caved in on the government closure and got nothing out of it for the American people.

So now 20 million Americans will be impacted by the loss of Obamacare (ACA) subsidies; premiums have risen by an average of 114%, and estimates suggest that between 4.8 million and 7.3 million people could lose their coverage in 2026.

And now we have an illegal war with Venezuela.

These corporate status quo Democratic Party dinosaurs simply have to go. They are Republican Party Lite, like House Minority Leader Hakeem "I Got Mine" Jeffries (D-NY).

Another example is warhawk US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) who ensures wealthy, nuclear-armed Israel, a country that offers world class universal healthcare for its residents, receives American taxpayer dollars every year. This same brontosaurus doesn't object to US or Israeli military operations against Iranians or Houthis-- like Republicans-- and he didn't endorse fellow Democrat Zohran Mamdani for NYC Mayor. Republican Party Lite.

Puerto Rico isn't even a state and you all are freaking out over Bad Bunny being at the Super Bowl. We basically keep the territory under our thumb and have huge price increases on their goods.

---FROM A PERSON THAT YOU GD BASTARDS DON'T GIVE A ---- ABOUT...

I woke up to news I've been waiting for half my life. Maduro has finally been extracted from a country he does not love and whose people he has no concern or respect for.
I go to social media and I'm in disbelief at the commentary... people acting like this just happened overnight, as if he was suddenly "kidnapped," with no regard for decades of context.
Venezuelans have lived under this regime for over 20 years.
We've held elections multiple times.
Maduro is not our legitimately elected president. He is a dictator who destroyed the country, jailed political opponents, killed peaceful student protesters, and collapsed the economy.
This is not about Trump violating Venezuela's sovereignty. That sovereignty was violated long ago by Maduro himself.
His crimes have happened openly, while Venezuelans tried lawfully and repeatedly to remove him and were denied justice.
If you're outraged now but ignored everything that came before, please learn the history instead of reacting to a distorted narrative.
As a Venezuelan, I am thankful to have a chance to regain our sovereignty and rebuild what the regime took from us. Our country.
I'm Venezuelan.
I live in exile.
ike more than 8 million of us,
I didn't leave because I stopped loving my country.
I left because loving it became heartbreaking, dangerous and because there was no future to build without surrendering to the regime.
We didn't choose violence.
We chose ballots.
We chose protests.
We chose hope.
Every peaceful path was met with prison, bullets, and silence.
What's painful is watching people who have never lived under a dictatorship explain one away, Speaking the language of "human rights" while excusing those who erased ours.
It's easy to moralize and play expert from the safety of your democracy.
It's harder when your home exists only in your memory.
Maduro was never elected.
He is why millions of us cannot go home.
For years, we screamed for the world to listen.
It chose silence.
So yes, we are rejoicing.
Not because of violence,
but because we were seen.
We were heard.
Call it uncomfortable.
Call it overdue.
Just don't call it wrong.

Our constitution does not apply outside our borders. And Congress (The People) were not consulted.

Trumpy maroons heve made that very clear that foreigners do not get the benefit or legal protections of our constitution and it does not apply to them.

So. Not an arrest. A kidnapping. And the trial will be an embarrassing sham.

And it's possible some of Maduros guards were killed. I would not consider them innocent. But I agree. Most likely most of them WERE innocent victims of the attack. Will we ever know? Probably not. But obviously Trumpy is not worried as no Americans were killed!

Team America!

F Yeah!

The UN's top counterterrorism and human rights expert condemned US strikes on Venezuela, calling them an "illegal aggression."

"I condemn the US' illegal aggression against Venezuela and the illegal abduction of its leader and his wife," Ben Saul wrote.

"Every Venezuelan life lost is a violation of the right to life. President Dummkopf Trumpf should be impeached and investigated for the alleged killings," Ben Saul declared.

Professor Ben Saul was educated at the University of Sydney, graduating with a B.A. (Hons.) and LL.B. (Hons.), and Magdalen College, Oxford, where he received a D.Phil.

Anybody on drudge.com smarter than the UN's top counterterrorism and human rights expert?

You people are historically ignorant. Wanna call this a terrible act of foreign policy? Fine. I oppose it too. But it's not illegal nor unconstitutional and has ample precedent to back that up

Donald Trump has ordered or been involved in military strikes in at least seven countries: Yemen, Somalia, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Nigeria, and Venezuela.

Better give him the damn Nobel Peace Prize before he bombs you too!

Re 369

President Trump did not seek congressional authorization for this use of force, and Congress did not grant it. Under our Constitution and the law, that makes this action illegal.

Using superior military force to remove the leader of a country you don't like for a reason of your own choosing will have international consequences.

Congress didn't declare war on Panama when Noriega was taken. Iraq had an AUMF and rightly so that was an actual war. Nor did they with Gadaffi.

Here's a historical primer, if you are interested:

Two wrongs do not make a right.

Neither do three wrongs.

Maga republicans like you railed against those actions as unconstitutional and NOW you try to use them as legal justifications?

Rigger please!

John Yoo?? Seriously?? He's the same bastard that said torture was legal. Seriously find credible resources next time when you want to justify illegal actions.

No I didn't. I thought it was a terrible foreign policy decision. I never said it was unconstitutional. Nobody did. But that was (D)ifferent.

We did this for the oil. To make Trump's Big Oil buddies richer. To give trump more power.
That's why. There was no morality in any of this. None.

We didn't do it to capture Maduro for any drug crimes.
We know that because trump pardons strongmen that are drug traffickers. Far worse than Maduro.
We know that because fentanyl isn't mentioned now that he's captured.

We didn't do it for regime change because the same regime is in place. The VP is now the acting president. The corrupt forces that made sure Maduro had power and stayed in power remain untouched.

As Redial stated plainly, Machado's out because she "stole" trump's peace prize. Never mind that he was never going to get it.

This is 100% colonialism. That orange POS flat out stated that when he alleged this action was the Monroe Doctrine on steroids and even renamed it the "Donroe Doctrine" after himself.

All this spinning and pretending by the right wingers here is not credible at all. It's pathetic.

Trump just said that if the VP doesn't give the US what we want then she will face a far worse fate than Maduro. Yep. It was a demand to be our puppet or else. She has no crimes to be charged with. No point in pretending with her, right? Just come right out and say it.

Trump's turn into an smaller and more pathetic version of Dubya is making Dubya look almost statesmanlike. Standing in for Cheney is the Viceroy of Venezuela - Rubio. This just gets better and better. /s

That Congress has continually ceded authority to the executive doesn't in any way, shape or form change the illegality of this.

Also, none of those actions involved the extrajudicial kidnapping of a head of state for a kangaroo trial in the US justice system, have they?

Keep trying, ballwasher. Someday you'll disagree with something this administration does and actually show it by the content of your posts.
