Um, really? They really want to go down this route? They really want to use capital on protecting drug runners from Venezuela?
Senate Democrats to force vote on blocking Trump strikes on alleged drug boats
Senate Democrats plan to force a vote under the War Powers Act on Wednesday aimed at blocking continued U.S. strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats off the coast of Venezuela.
The resolution, led by Sens. Adam Schiff of California and Tim Kaine of Virginia, would block the U.S. military from engaging in hostilities with “any non-state organization engaged in the promotion, trafficking, and distribution of illegal drugs and other related activities” without congressional authorization.
“There has been no authorization to use force by Congress in this way,” Schiff said Wednesday, saying the strikes risk escalating into a full-blown conflict with Venezuela. “I feel it is plainly unconstitutional.” (snip)
In a notification to Congress after the second strike in mid-September, the Trump administration said the U.S. is in a “non-international armed conflict” with drug cartels it has designated as terrorist organizations. The drugs smuggled by these cartels kill tens of thousands of Americans each year and constitute an “armed attack” against U.S. citizens, according to the White House.
The Trump administration has designated several drug cartels and gangs as terrorist organizations, including Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua, Mexico’s Sinaloa Cartel and El Salvador’s MS-13.
So, let me ask: if it was Biden or Kamala doing this, would Democrats have a problem with it? We all know the answer would be “no.” Rand Paul would complain either way, as he’s doing now. If Democrats were serious they and Republicans would actually authorize the use of US military assets in blowing up drug boats, planes, and submarines. Bringing marijuana in isn’t that big of a deal: cocaine, fentanyl, and others are a problem, and need to be stopped.
So the left is admitting these are drug runners bringing poisons into the country and want to protect them? You just can’t make up this kind of stupidity as we’re looking right at it.
That evil genius Donald Trump has managed to get the Democrats into defending:
* –
Menmales in women’s sports, locker rooms and bathrooms* – Street criminals in our major cities
* – Illegal immigrants, including the violent criminals
* – Venezuelan drug runners
* – Government paid health care for illegal immigrants
Niccolo Machiavelli was a piker compared to our 47th President!
Here’s the resolution for you to read.

Should a US president be permitted to use the US military to kill foreigners in international waters?
Regardless of Stephen “Goebbels” Miller’s coronation of trump as our king, he is not.
Ya left out the illegal drug runner part, Rimjob.
Why does the murder party (dems) always side with the illegals?
Where were you when Obama authorized around 968 drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia, killing more than 2000-3000 people, including around 300 children?
Three of those killed by Obama’s drone strikes were American citizens in Yemen. Selective leftist outrage?
Trump should next use our Air Force to bomb the drug producing sites in Mexico, Venezuela, China and Colombia.
He can tell Congress after it’s done!!
Go Donnie, Go!!
Oh that’s fucking brilliant, Rimjob.
