🇺🇸 WHO IS IN CHARGE?
Government or "We the People"
If it's the former, you're not in a "land of the free" - you're ruled.
And everything that the American Revolution was built on - has been thrown away.

Today, I've written stories about the US bombing Syria, a boat in the Caribbean, and preparing to potentially bomb Iran. Next one is about a US airstrike in Somalia. So much peace from the peace president.
The same CIA propaganda that was used on democrats regarding #Ukraine is being used on Republicans regarding #Venezuela.
I thought #Conservatives have learned the lessons of the past 10 years.
I thought they have solid principles.
I thought they would defend the #Constitution no matter who violates it.
Ugly team sports.
Yes, the younger generations seem to have a better immunity.
Constitution and war powers 101
The president does not need approval from Congress, or to even notify them, if he is repelling an active military attack.
He is able to use as much military force as he determines is necessary to defeat that attack.
He is able to unilaterally use that force as long as that attack is happening, but not one moment longer.
Anything beyond that, falls into the realm of what the founders called reprisal, and requires express sanction from Congress.
This is the system of the founders.
The executive can defend against sudden attacks. And any decision about whether to wage war, exact revenge, use offensive measures as a preventative defense, get some kind of justice, or do a regime change?
That’s all supposed to be the decision of the people and the states, as represented in Congress.
It’s the difference between a free country and a dictatorship.
Anyone telling you otherwise is either ignorant, or lying, or both.
International law doesn't exist because the U.S.A. is the World Government, and they are drug-dealing, red light-running, hooker-raping, in-the-back-shooting criminal cops.
International law doesn’t exist. All law doesn’t exist without a central authority to enforce it. People who talk about ‘international law’ are making moral and legal claims because they’re weak.
I’ve served on the Homeland Security Committee for the past three years. I’m 100% for strong safe secure borders and stopping narco terrorists and cartels from trafficking deadly drugs and human trafficking into America.
Fentanyl is responsible for over 70% of U.S. drug overdose deaths and fentanyl comes from Mexican cartels made with chemical precursors from China and trafficked across the U.S. Mexico border.
Mexican cartels are primarily and overwhelmingly responsible for killing Americans with deadly drugs.
If U.S. military action and regime change in Venezuela was really about saving American lives from deadly drugs then why hasn’t the Trump admin taken action against Mexican cartels?
And if prosecuting narco terrorists is a high priority then why did President Trump pardon the former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez who was convicted and sentenced for 45 years for trafficking hundreds of tons of cocaine into America? Ironically cocaine is the same drug that Venezuela primarily traffics into the U.S.
The next obvious observation is that by removing Maduro this is a clear move for control over Venezuelan oil supplies that will ensure stability for the next obvious regime change war in Iran.
And of course why is it ok for America to militarily invade, bomb, and arrest a foreign leader but Russia is evil for invading Ukraine and China is bad for aggression against Taiwan? Is it only ok if we do it? (I’m not endorsing Russia or China)
Regime change, funding foreign wars, and American’s tax dollars being consistently funneled to foreign causes, foreigners both home and abroad, and foreign governments while Americans are consistently facing increasing cost of living, housing, healthcare, and learn about scams and fraud of their tax dollars is what has most Americans enraged. Especially the younger generations. Boomers and half of Gen X will cheer on neocon wars and talking points, but the other half of Gen X and majority on down see through it and hate it.
Americans disgust with our own government’s never ending military aggression and support of foreign wars is justified because we are forced to pay for it and both parties, Republicans and Democrats, always keep the Washington military machine funded and going.
This is what many in MAGA thought they voted to end.
Boy were we wrong.
As the baby boomers slip away both in votes and power, the electoral future will be decided for candidates that focus on American economic populism and promising prosperity for Americans only.
As of right now, neither party is offering the solution.
@EndWokeness Stealing another country's oil isn't America first, unless you turn America into a pirate nation.
If "we just gained $17 trillion worth of oil" from a coup, we didn't liberate the country; we robbed it.
No international law anymore. Pure might, pure power politics. The masks are off. The only problem: whether you can and whether you dare? If yes, just try and show the color. The words, the rules and the values have lost any meaning. There rests only power. As it always was.
When Trump says Venezuela stole oil from the United States, he’s talking about projects by Oil Companies that were nationalized by the government of Venezuela two decades ago. No one campaigned on using our soldiers to overthrow Venezuela to make these Oil Companies whole again.
Congress just voted AGAINT a War Powers resolution to prevent a regime change war in Venezuela.
The only truly America first politicians on the Republican side against endless wars are @RepThomasMassie@mtgreenee & @RepDonBacon.
