Look to those who are outraged over Trumps actions last night to see who our enemies from within are.

@RantyAmyCurtis
Look.
The reason Democrats are so mad about Venezuela is because that’s what they want do to America.
They want a socialist nation where 70% plus of us are in poverty while they rule over us forever as a dictator.
One of their comrades was taken out of power today and it makes them very mad.

I can't believe they kept this a secret for several months as they prepared...I guess consulting the Dems the outcome would have been different..

Who does Kasich think he's fooling? He was a Congress Critter when Reagan invaded Panama and captured Manuel Noriega. Other than being quicker and more "surgical" this would be a precedent.

Sorry 'bout that @Kamaji, I had not seen your post.

Trump’s unilateral operation last night was an illegal act of war without Congress’s authorization.

Maduro is a brutal dictator who has oppressed the Venezuelan people, but our constitution does not yield for bad people.

If Congress is to survive as an institution, the Republican majority must join us exercising our power to hold this administration accountable for this flagrant violation of the constitution.

Yes, I saw that Chevron, the largest US oil company operating in Venezuela, had its stock price rise 2.5% yesterday following this announcement, as the price of oil dropped at the same time.

Other companies that have refineries along the Gulf Coast that are configured for Venezuelan-type crude rose similarly

This is about oil more than about drug enforcement.

Of course this is about looting the oil.  It’s crazy how the same people fall for propaganda after it burned them in Vietnam, Iraq, Syria, Libya, etc.  It’s the same people who get duped over and over.

“The next obvious observation is that by removing Maduro this is a clear move for control over Venezuelan oil supplies that will ensure stability for the next obvious regime change war in Iran.”

And also takes away a key source of oil from China.

If it was about drugs killing Americans, they would be bombing Mexican cartels.

POTUS says Rubio spoke with Maduro's VP,  and that she is willing to work with the US to 'make Venezuela great again'

FULL QUOTE: "She was just sworn in. But she was hand picked by Maduro. So Marco is working on that directly. He just had a conversation with her and she is essentially willing to do what we think is necessary to 'Make Venezuela Great Again.' Very simple."

Dems sided with China
Dems sided with Mexico
Dems sided with Canada
Dems sided with Somalia

Now they’re siding with Venezuela.

IMHO, he has not removed the blemish of becoming a new Senator and immediately joining McCain to hand out amnesty as part of the Gang of Eight.

I still don't completely trust the man based on his first move out of the gate.  Maybe I never will, but I'll see.

What the hell is going on? Trump has supposedly abducted President Maduro and his wife and brought them to the United States for trial, supposedly for drug trafficking and bringing drugs to the United States. It was just a few weeks ago when Trump pardoned one of the biggest drug traffickers in the world, Juan Orlando Hernández, the former President of Honduras, who had been convicted by the Biden Administration and was serving a sentence of 45 years in prison. What is this? Is this about regime change? Is this about oil? Or is this a power play to continue to send a message around the world that Trump is all-powerful and he is headed towards dictatorship in our country?

Happened way before Hugo was around.

The Venezuelan oil discoveries were made by European and American Oil Companies due to contracts with Venezuela. (Not looted like someone mentioned).

Venezuela removed all oil contracts and nationalized its industry in 1973.
