... The vote last week to advance a measure to limit Trump's military authority reflects growing uncertainty among Senate Republicans that they know where the president's foreign policy agenda is headed. "It's the innuendo about, Colombia, you better watch out.' Mexico, you better watch out.' Greenland, we're going to take over you,'" said Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), one of five Republican senators who voted to send the measure to the floor for a vote. "Ordinarily, you would just say those are just bluffing words," she said, summarizing Trump's threats to topple other regimes or assume control over other territories. "But when you see he didn't bluff there with Venezuela, it does cause you to just step back and say, What else is being planned?' ...

Trump will eventually be Impeached by his own party.
It could definitely happen.
If he starts a war that gets enough Americans Killed.
That's the last Taboo, especially if the War is over totally stupid ----.
Like Venezuela is.

In addition to this US Senate measure to prevent Dummkopf Trumpf from any South American misadventures, Congressmen are introducing legislation to stop the warmonger from attacking NATO members (e.g. Denmark, which protects Greenland).
Remarkable such laws are required in 21st-century America.
After Israel attacked Qatar last year, on 29 Sep 2025 Dummkopf Trumpf issued an Executive Order proclaiming Qatar will henceforth be protected from foreign attacks, like the equivalent of a US military ally (NATO).
So in Trumpfworld, faraway Qatar is safer than NATO ally Denmark.
I have not seen any language from the US Senate or Congressional bills preventing Dummkopf Trumpf from attacking Iran, Nigeria, Somalia, or Yemen.
Maybe I missed it.

They made the monster.
They have lost all control of it.
There is a special place in hell for McTurtle where he gets his daily pineapple from Renee Good.

My, oh, my, a literal handful of the GOP caucus are getting "concerned"? Old Yeller will be dead and buried before that miserable crew summons up the courage to ask someone else to go check up on him.
