THIS WAS AN ACT OF WAR AND A VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW.
But put that aside for a second…
What’s wild is that Marco Rubio isn’t even pretending anymore. He’s not hiding that the invasion of Venezuela is about oil.
This is going to end up a dumpster fire…

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.
I want to make sure this is very clear.

The Constitution is clear:
Congress has the power and responsibility to authorize the use of military force and declare war. Congress has a duty of oversight. Congress must serve as a check, not a rubber stamp to the President.
On these counts, Congress has failed.

The Trump Administration has proven nothing about drugs in justifying its illegal actions in Venezuela, in the same way it has proven nothing about gangs to justify its illegal actions with ICE here.

Trump justified his illegal war in Venezuela by saying that Venezuela was not producing enough oil.
Venezuela was not producing enough oil because of sanctions and blockades Trump orchestrated.

We are so lost as a nation, as a people. We live under a madman.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Last year, Trump promised American oil executives “a great deal” if they donated $1 billion to his campaign.
Today, he gave them Venezuela — home to the largest oil reserves in the world.
This new war is not only illegal and reckless; it is deeply corrupt.
