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.

“Maybe.”

I’m with you on that,

Let’s just pretend that we take their oil and profit off it for a second. To do all this nation building, will cost money up front for this to happen. This will need to be approved through congress.

Will this?

Honest question: does he really need Congress for anything he wants? Looks to me as though all he needs is a proclamation, and an entire apparatus just makes it so. And that will continue to be the case until someone—or, more likely, enough someones—finally stand up and say no more.

He looks like he absolutely knows that something he's doing is wrong (I've seen that look several other times when he's being covered). I can't decide if that makes him better or worse, considering he's going along with it anyway. 

Honestly, does Marco have an alternative at this point? It’s not as though you can just quit the Mob and live to talk about it.

If they had guts during his first term Marco could be president right now.

Maduro's hand picked VP is running the country, how exactly has the "Maduro regime" been ended?

Exactly... or as The Who once screamed, "meet the new boss.... same as the old boss..."  

The question I'll keep asking is what's in all of this for the average American. How does this *materially* make anyone's life better? How does it make the country itself better off?

I'm not seeing it. These guys clearly care more about creating some bread and circuses content for the base but don't give a **** about rising health care premiums or the rising cost of groceries, that's clear.

Disingenuous, because of course this is.

Chuck Schumer was not demanding that Trump bring an end to the Maduro regime. He was calling Trump on his horse**** rhetoric about the Maduro regime. He knows as well as anyone that it is neither Trump's sole responsibility nor privilege to waltz into any other country, kidnap the president, and steal and sell off their natural resources for his personal profit and that of his crony investors.

This is, of course, a criminal act of invasion and theft undertaken against another sovereign nation. Regardless of how much you might hate the United Nations for its rejection of American supremacy policy, both we and Venezuela are members in good standing of that body, and discretionary invasion of one against the other is specifically forbidden by charter. We, a prime signatory to that charter, now stand in breach of it, and eventually, there will consequences. Because if empires lasted forever, we would all still be Akkadians.

NY Times haters, avert your eyes ...

Legacy newspapers took strikingly divergent positions on the Trump administration's operation in Venezuela:

Oh, he's all in at this point and he knows it. I'm not sure exactly when, but at some point he decided to go for power over humanity.

It's a good question, and given this DOJ's track record, the odds of acquittal are most definitely non-zero

Khalid Shaykh Muhammad remains in GTMO without trial because procedurally they would never be able to try him after enhanced interrogation.

All this talk and desire for oil, but maybe this is where real money is. And the Orange Mussolini holds a grudge because he's still in the 1950s

Start imposing taxes on U-S airline flights and cruise ships into countries like Greenland and Canada. Give Trump na taste of own medicine. 

Also remind Donald who paid for the Howe Bridge when it opens

Without checking i’m thinking Moroun family were donors for Trump.
