Is Congress or, more specifically, are Republicans in the House and Senate going to let President Trump continue to conduct what are effectively acts of war against Venezuela without Congressional pre-approval?!

Blowing up Venezuela fishing/maybe or maybe not drug-carrying boats, killing their occupants, without due process or sharing hard evidence with Congress, let alone the American people.  Moving our Navy – including our most fearsome carrier, in position to do who knows what off the Venezuelan coast.  What is Congress waiting for?

Suppose it was Mexico Trump decided to invade?  Russia or China?  …What? Sounding too crazy to ever happen?  Are you kidding, Trump is clinically nuts, or haven’t you noticed, and increasingly desperate by all appearances.  He needs a big time distraction, particularly with the Epstein files about to be released and the Supreme Court quite possibly on the verge of putting an end to Donald’s tariff-based economic and foreign policies.

What would President Trump do with our military and its weaponry in the event of a real geo-political crisis?

Come on, Republicans in Congress.  Throw some cold water on your faces.  Do a Majorie Taylor Greene and grow a pair.  You were elected to represent your constituents, not to be mindless pet lemmings of an idiot, highly unpopular huckster, an inadvertent President who clearly has no idea what he’s doing.
