We just invaded another Iraq because of oil. In the end that oil will prove to be incredibly expensive! In Iraq we helped them set up a democracy with a Parliament and that Parliament refused to privatize the oil fields so the oil remains the property of the Iraqi people; so now we're going to let the Venezuelan people decide what they do with their oil?? American leaders stupidly think that if we throw out the thugs like Maduro then the people will wekcome our corporate thugs like Exxon.

It seems Republicans have forgotten the Iraq invasion/occupation.....I expect history to repeat itself but this is ridiculous! Republican bulls**t is on a loop just repeating over and oveer but I hope they don't hang Maduro!

""We're gonna end up with a democracy that works well. I mean, the people of Venezuela have lived under a democracy before, and they want a democracy," Sen. Rick Scott said. "

Should say, "biggest crook in Congress; committed biggest Medicare fraud in history!

Many criticisms of Kirk were based on direct quotes of the man himself! I remember, during the days following his murder, being surprised at some of the things he said and then the defenses of him which described him so differently from the image I formed of him from reading the things he said. Quite honestly, I think he was a racist and bigoted in several ways and it made me glad I had never subjected myself to one of his performances. I think that to the Chaelie Kirk grou[ies freedom of speech is not a right we would have if today's White Christian Nationalists were writing our Constitution nor is it a right that the despicable Roberts Court will uphold and that makes this time of our history shameful!

If we had a real Supreme Court Hegseth couldn't get away with this but with the court we have today the Constitution is "just a piece of paper."

Like having the largest aircraft carrier in the world off the Venezuelan coast wouldn't have been noticed by the Venezuelans? Riiiiight!

Citing previous President's probably also illegal arresrts of foreign leaders to stop ethnic cleansing and/or mass murders doesn't make Trump's kidnapping of Maduro legal and when we boil it down legality is not the question; motive is. Preventing mass murder or ethnic cleansing are humanitarian moral necessities but invading to grab resources like oil is not just illegal it is also very immoral and cannot be defended except by noting economic benefits to American oil companies. That difference should be obvious except to the stupidest MAGAs who aren't capable of understanding the difference between a moral imperative and an economic opportunity.

I believe he is just doing what he believes a macho man like Putin would be doing as Dicktator of the Western Hemisphere! He knows he's old and probably sick but, wow! What a legacy! He'll definitely be in the history books; as the last President of the United States?

"It's a law enforcement action."

Right......Uh huh! Law enforcement with nuclear powered aircraft carrier?

I really am curious about what the leaders of other South and Central American nations will have to say about all of this. I especially will also be interested in what the leaders of Canada and Mexico have to say. This take over seems like something Putin would do! Or Xi?

"His vainglorious "triumphal arch" will be worse."

If he gets it built it should be the first thing torn down when the Psycho-Chief is replaced.. It wo7uld be great i8f the demolition could actually, physically begin during the Inauguration!

""In order to implement operation hand maiden you gotta have a goon on every corner!!!

I suspect that is the goal!

"This is the US version of "Secret Police" who will do whatever the Junta dictates without regard to Judicial and Legislative restrictions."I wonder if their oath will be made public?

OMG! The terror those billionaires are facing! It must be so frightening to only have three homes in California but, thankfully, they will still have other shacks overseas.

The once great news network is now just a Republican propaganda network like Fox. I guess there will be intense competition to be the most GQP friendly network!

Jesus didn't need no Godless vaccinations! That's all a good Christian needs to know!

Can't wait to see how many actual farmers benefit from this!

NothingPutin has done is considered a hostile action by the Trump administration.

Seems to me he wants to be remembered; almost as if he knows he won't be around much longer and having buildings named after probably makes him think he'll be remembered for a long time. Personally, I don't think it will work because buildings can be renamed or even torn down. He will be remembered though, for the Jan. 6 Insurrection' That will be a paragraph in school history books and he'll be remembered as the leader of a failed coup attempt.

The masks are coming off the Trump administration! Their total corruption on so many issues will be too much even for a liar like Trump to put a positive spin on any of the s**t they have been doing.

#1 days exactly what needs to be said.

The utter incompetence of this administration is getting comical!

Madonna is just as American as the dummies who think their own lives will get better if we deport the brown people but she's just not as stupid!

In the citcle of leaders Trump likes to associate with, war crimes are a sign of strength and power but two survivors from a missile attack on the boat they were possibly transporting drugs destined for the United States just doesn't put Trump on the same level of war criminal as Putin. Trump will need to murder many more before Putin will be impressed but if he actually carries out his threat to iinvade Venezuela he could have numbers that will impress Putin!

Don't worry his tariffs are going to start creating millions of jobs any minute now and if they fail to do so we can just deport a few thousand hardworking migrants! Trump is just so smart!
