I joked about this earlier today. But you can't even crack wise anymore, life just is this ridiculous.What would you call it? A 'special military operation'?

Disappointed in his decision, but it's his to make. Must not think he can earn the job? Hope he does well for himself
"A man's got to know his limitations."
If he lives, I have no doubt he'll do his best singing.
I don't know if it will lead to any prosecutions, if we'll ever get to hear or see the evidence, nor if any if this will matter past being a distraction while the rest of our country continues to be destroyed.
We still haven't seen the epstein grand jury transcripts, the lists, and we still haven't seen Hils in cuffs and charged in spite of everyone knowing shes guilty. Why would we think any of this really matters to anyone except those who financially benefit from recouping their losses in Venezuela?
On what drug addled leftist imaginary bizarro world is Bukele a "dictator? "
So.now our token communist mouthpiece is the arbiter of what constitutes libertarians or Maga.
Hush,

Very well put. A good read.
"While we ostensibly captured Maduro based on legitimate, outstanding US drug charges from 2020, the real reason for the military operations early this morning is that neutralizing Maduro's Venezuela had become a strategic imperative for the USA.
Under Maduro, Venezuela had become the Latin American crossroads for all of the USA's principal enemies. Maduro was nurturing relationships with Russia, Hezbollah and Iran. Worst of all, Venezuela was eagerly becoming a part of Red China's Belt & Road initiative.
As America's enemies were lining up Venezuela as their base of operations in the Western Hemisphere to cause mischief and destruction for the USA, Maduro was at the same time making Venezuela a crossroads, safe haven and enabler for all manner of narcoterrorist operations, ranging from Colombia's FARC to Mexico's Sinaloa cartel.
On top of all that, Venezuela had become a key player in the illegal alien invasion of the USA, shipping its very worst to the USA in a deliberate and comprehensive destabilizing operation that might have worked had Donald Trump not won in 2024.
Next in importance: oil. The global and regional ambitions of both China and Russia are in large part dependent on the politics of petroleum, and the USA just deprived both of the cudgel afforded by friendly Venezuelan oil. Trump opponents say "It's about oil" as if that was a bad thing. Yeah, it's about oil.
Finally, all of this was in keeping with the most essential and fundamental foreign policy mandate of the USA almost since the nation's inception: the Monroe Doctrine. Operations like what Maduro was running simply cannot be allowed in the Western Hemisphere. Trump was right for falling back on this most basic of doctrines that protects the USA's sovereignty.
So was Maduro seized because of some five year-old drug charges? Yes. Legally--yes. However, like so many strategic issues in the world today, an action needed to be backed by the fine points of law, and it was. But the reality is that the Maduro takedown was a Monroe Doctrine-driven necessity that has greatly enhanced the power and national security of the USA.
Congratulations, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth and the rest of the Trump national security team: you boldly took the steps necessary to defend the USA. Well done."

haha The fat JD Vance always gets me:
Our chances in the midterms greatly increase with these two fighting together against all enemies, foreign and domestic:
Trump and Elon at Mar-a-Lago tonight, after the take down of Maduro:

Hitting the show ignored content on occasion just to show me the Sams' of the thread are still wildly spouting. Once I get through that page? They're back on ignore.
Makes lotsa sense.
** Life Comes at You Fast Department **
I'm still marveling at this thread's lack of backbone and awareness. Studies should be done about it. For years, folks said they wanted the US to stop playing world police and that he wouldn't bomb random countries; that he was different. Trump's not a neocon obsessed with bombs and regime changes. Well now we're responsible for another regime change. I'm sure this will go swimmingly as all the others have gone. McCain would be proud! I'm sure Bolton is happy too. And none of you actually care about Venezuelans either lol. This thread spent years yelling "screw the world for not loving Donald like we love him" and now you're going to pretend you care about Venezuelans...
So what's next? Regime change (which I'm certain will go smooth) in a place none of you care about and then what, steal Greenland? After that, invade Mexico and take on that responsibility? You know he's not stopping at Venezuela and his supporters are already trolling Greenland that it's next. If I told you a few years ago this thread would be cheerleading bombs dropped and forced regime changes as Trump declares Venezuela our responsibility, man lol.
National polling will be interesting this year regarding all of this. Americans want tariffs ended, inflation down, and more control at the border. That was it. No one was pining for Trump to play military big boy and make us responsible for regime changes. Spin that all you like but it's true.

I know. After reading comments from local leftists, I just shake my GD head.
They are just completely clueless; love to pontificate about how smart they are, how dumb you must be for thinking differently to them, but they are clueless useful idiots... the lot of them.
But but but the Donald committed 'Crime of the Century'. "Let them eat cake", according to resident leftists. Never-mind USA, Canada, Mexico and other countries in Western Hemisphere have struggled absorbing 8 million Venezuelan refugees since 2014. Nope, to that crowd, money grows on GD trees.
He needs to go (by assassination, rigged election, kangaroo trial, “suicide” or “accident”, fabricated Russian-collusion impeachment, BUT not military operation!)! Its implicit! There is no contradiction!
(A response D-Sus would admire and get behind)
For those non-TDSers who say Trump acting in Venezuela contradicts his campaign rhetoric, can you explain how this contradicts what we saw from Trump’s international policy from term 1? To me, Trump on international matters has been a steroid pumped version of term 1. He seems less restrained and more confident in how he addresses the world, but not inconsistent.
She did not want to conduct Zoom court from jail?

Thank you, I'm flattered.
lol, does Don get the $25 million bounty that your god heroes Biden and Kamala put on Muduro? Lol
By the way, Mr Tolstoy, how’s those Iowa polling doing? You were very confident on those. Hahaha
You have a couple on here that pose as conservative/independent but attack everything Trump does or anything we (the US) does. Worst of the worst?
Most dims hate America and anytime we have a president that actually does something that reflects well on America or helps American citizens, they rise up in protest.
All manufactured outrage. Dion/John the Racist no longer gets his free trip to Venezuela
Damn right he is…go to a cushy federal white collar prison in the US, or back to Venezuela to face an angry mob that’ll string him up in court.
Played thunderstruck while showing an American eagle.....LOL
WATCH: Trump Savagely Trolls Deposed Dictator Nicolas Maduro with an AMAZING Video After Seeing Footage of a Cocky Maduro Mocking ‘Cowards’
If it was about fentanyl, why not raid Mexico or even China? This is about oil and its driven by the cia who also drove the iraq invasion.
The only positive i see is it will drive the price of oil down and put pressure on Russia to give ground on the Ukraine issue. Without this, Russia had all the leverage and could hold out forever.
If he was indicted in new York, it wont be a layup getting a conviction. What if he gets acquitted?
Waiting for the demoscumic trash to cry about this.
I call it kicking *** and taking names.
