Taking all the politics out of this, it's pretty damn amazing that we just went into a country and snatched up the sitting President from his safe space on a military base without losing a single person or aircraft.

I have my doubts here.

You trust what's coming out of Washington?

Broader point here but the reality is that when you lie as much as this administration does, it's not surprising when people no longer give you the benefit of the doubt

No, not at all.  That said, had aircraft gone down, there would be video of the wreckage all over social media by now.

Maybe.

And just for the record, I’m counting Venezuelan casualties should we find out that innocent happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time types.  Not that we’d necessarily get that information from the current clown crew.

So, is Congress going to reassert it’s constitutional authority anytime soon?

This has the feel of those smash & grab robberies you see on security cameras at an mall.

Except it’s on a national level. 
With our military. Stealing a country’s oil that doesn’t on any level belong to us.

And the whole world is watching us throw the rule of law out the mf-ing window.

(listen, not a Maduro fan.  Doesn’t matter.)

As long as Trump apologizers are in the majority the sheep will remain silent..

Nope. Here’s my congressman:

James is so incredibly dense. No one thinks this is done. Hold that “mission accomplished” banner again. 

His statement absolutely reeks of George W. Bush giving a mission accomplished speech.

Is Miggy Trump's great friend? It absolutely would not surprise me in the least.

Venezuela is a member in good standing of the United nations, a sovereign nation that is supposed to be in charge of its own affairs. They are now a United States possession. This is nothing but flat out imperialism. The Soviet Union was right about us the whole time.

It's one thing if a coalition of nations were to work together to remove a citizen-murdering despot from power. That is eminently defensible. It's another matter when the biggest baddest mother****ing country on the planet overthrows a government just to drill, steal, and sell off the oil, which is precisely what Trump said today we are doing. Notice how he didn't say boo about fighting drug trafficking during the press conf today? If Trump wants to give the rest of the world a real hot foot, he can put that ex-Honduran president he absolved of drug trafficking in charge of Venezuela now. Think he won't? Keep on eye on Kalshi, it might just show up there as a prop bet.

I'm sorry, I want to be happy as the next guy that Maduro is out, but I would have wanted that to happen the right way, through the people of Venezuela, and not through the military adventurism of the United States.

This was more than merely the brazen and craven act of a convicted felon dictator. It's also a huge middle finger to the rest of the world, except for Russia and China, for reasons romad1 has already articulated.

I did wonder what this means for Magglio, who was a Chavez/Maduro friendly mayor back in the day.

It’s 50/50 that James doesn’t even know what sport is played by the team on the hat he’s wearing.  The man is truly ignorant.
