Does fact that Congress, not the President, has the power to "To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water" matter? Or is the constitution not what you voted for?

Is what you describe Maduro specific? Or specific to the ruling party of Venezuela?

It’s not like the ruling party gives up power and dissolves in this situation. That level of regime change requires an invasion or coup.

This isn't over. There are so many ways how this can backfire. E.g. how long until a bunch of random Americans are kidnapped as a way to get him back?

And Putin?

Mark another instance of ignoring the US Constitution down. Sounds a bit like America has their very own dictator.

Did you vote to pardon drug bosses too?

Not at all. They will simply route a bit more money into Trump's pockets and celebrate their newfound ally.

Trump has spent the last year (decade actually) doing a disgraceful show of pleasing a dictator who invaded his neighbour. To say nothing of his own authoritarian projects at home. And let's not even get started about Netanyahu.

How can you talk about this as if it was a crusade for justice against dictators? Some people are just terminally gullible.

The irony of someone who (presumably, from statements) voted for Trump saying this while their own country tortures, disappears and in some cases murders thousands, plus potentially rigged elections...

You voted for brown people on flimsy boats to be blown up in extrajudicial killings and for regime change? I thought MAGAs were all about love and peace unlike the war monger, Barrack Obama.
