Just a reminder that the Mexican cartels exist because of us not despite us.
You have the freedom to leave
Giving one man more and more power is the opposite of small central government. Tha absolute keystone of conservatism. The end can’t justify the means.
Lebby looking for ways to improve the program:
Congress, lol. The only thing Congress is good for is voting themselves a raise. And yes, the end does justify the means.
In this case? Or always? What do you fall back on if you disagree with the ends next time?
Donnie Dump loves his stupids. None more so than many in this thread. 17 your war criminal.
Whatever power Trump takes, the next president will have it too. And there will be someone from the other side at some point. Everybody okay with President AOC having the same amount of power? If you are cheering for the way he is going about getting stuff done, then you better be
You see, this is the excuse republicans use to not do anything, then when the tables turn the demonrats have no problem justifying their means to an end. Use it while you got it, baby!
14 months ago, it was "Don't vote for warmongering Kamala Harris who will get us in a war with Russia or Venezuela."
Legit concern. He was basically arrested in a foreign country to answer for a criminal indictment in the US, which we dont typically have legal authority to do. But, its pretty much what we did to Manuel Noriega, who was captured, tried, and convicted in the US.
I imagine Maduro's first defense will be that his arrest was illegal, and we'll see how that goes.
I voted for this!!! Don’t FAFO with him. Sorry that strength offends you lib Pu55ies
What wars are this you are speaking of?
Trump declaring Narco gangs as terrorist organizations on day one of this administration plays right into this. I doubt arrest legality supersedes that.
Trump just pardoned Hernandez for similar. What sort of 4D chess is going on here? These are mixed signals.
If Obama's actions in Libya were a "war," this clearly qualifies too.
I honestly never heard that. Ever.
Kamala Harris can’t wage war on wildfires in her home state, much less complicated geo-political regime change.
Time to unburden Venezuela from what has been.
It’s nuanced. If you are a white male MAGA, I’m this country your rights are pretty secure as long as you stay that way and toe the party line. Very small line between authoritarian and oppressive. I don’t make much distinction for our FOTUS.
We got Noriega in Panama previously, so this is nothing new.
Good for you. Keep this in mind when a potus you don't agree uses their "strength". You might regret taking that stance.
Strength for what??? Men in women’s sports?? A liberal president will let the world burn down as long as rainbows can continue to fly
An easy Google search will show you how ignorant you sound
I didn't say liberal president. You aren't good with long term planning are you?
The fox is strong with this one.
I don't hate it. When you're sitting on the largest oil reserves in the world and you choose the narco economy over the oil and gas industry eventually you're going to get tagged. Venezuelans weren't allowed their voice so they used their feet.
I’m not a liberal, and I made no comment either way about this. I still haven’t.
We don't have blanket legal authority to just arrest/kill people in foreign countries who we claim are members of terrorist organizations, either. Its a complex legal issue, and "arrest legality" is very much involved.
I know it’s complex, but don’t be naive.
GITMO has been slam full of ISIS, Hamas, and AlQueda, terrorists arrested abroad for the past 20 years.
The State Department could have easily sent in a hit squad, cruise missles, or seeded a coup to have him killed, but extracted him instead.
Quadaffi and Sadam Hussein received no such quarter.
-The Venezuelan people celebrating in the streets seem to be happy about it.
- Chavez started this when he seized American assets. Reports are we parked a missile in his mausoleum. Nice.
-China got checked. Cuba is now in a worse position. Mexico is on notice about their coziness with the cartels.
-Instead of wasting fuel and ordnance on our bombing ranges we should strike every drug cartel asset south of the border.
-After wiping out the cartels we need to legalize drugs. Prohibition should have been a major lesson on legislating vices and the rise of the Mob during that time but then again politicians are effing idiots.
-Legalize heroin tomorrow and I still won't use it or any other currently illegal drug. Legalize it, regulate and tax the **** out of it.
-Stabilize Venezuela's oil industry and economy and their people who were forced to flee will move back.

Bullѕhit. "He'll end all of our foreign military entanglements" was one of the key arguments that got Trump elected.
I’ve heard maduro was a Muslim dictator so it should be ok now with the progressives
Sounds like he should steal China's leaders then.
"China is doing bad things, so go steal the head of Venezuela!"
