Congress Needs To Take Action On the Venezuelan Debacle That Is Unfolding!

[Hafar1014]

Congress has numerous methods to keep the President in check. These type of laws are not it. That is why the House has impeachment power, but I doubt they can ever get the Senate to remove because the Democrats have reduced impeachment to a footnote in American history.

Democrats have used impeachment as political tool and failed

So, you do not favor Trump incentives to US Oil companies, to invest in revitalization of that raped Venezuelan oil industry, and would leave it to the Communist/Socialist that destroyed it? Is that because you favor China, or just suspect Trump administration might be too stupid make it work?

I was being sarcastic ! it appears leftists like yourself are happy with the indicted cartel leader doing those things for the lefts biggest foreign ally .. The CCP !

President Trump is not adhering to American principles in his policy positions on Venezuela. His top goal should be to transition Venezuela to a genuine Democracy; forget the oil, pursuit of the oil looks like America is acting like a colonial power from the 18th century where the controlling country looted the controlled country of its mineral wealth. This big grab for Venezuela oil will ruin America's reputation for many generations in developing countries eyes they will reasonably believe America cannot be trusted! President Trump should never have grabbed Maduro without Congressional authorization for one what if Venezuela and their anti-American allies decide to take a confrontational path what if Maduro's allies take American expatriates in Venezuela hostage what if Maduro's allies team up with China and fight the American oil embargo by shipping Venezuela oil in 55 gallon drums through Cuba and use a lot of smaller barges for the run from Venezuela to Cuba it will be a very costly burden on the U.S. Navy in terms of money and resources to deal with this and what if one of Maduro's allies step's into Maduro's shoes and runs all of Maduro's criminal enterprises just as Maduro did or more effectively this whole Venezuela effort by the Trump administration would have been for naught!

The 2024 Venezuela election were tainted because the Maduro opposition candidate that won the primary. Marie Machado was disqualified. It takes time to hold fair elections so the Trump administration should announce elections will be held in Venezuela in nine months and that a technocrat fifteen person governing board will be established until then to begin to dismantle the corrupt government that currently exist there. How to get a board of fair and good Venezuelans to begin to disassemble the corrupt narco-state and run the government in a good manner. Let the member of the Group of seven countries each select Venezuelan that will do a good job and America as the point country safeguarding the transition we get an additional three choices and the Secretary General of the UN gets three choices and Maria Machado and Edmundo Gonzalez as leaders that won in the last election each get a seat. The board can elect a Chief Executive Office to run the government and they can act like a limited legislative body. No one in Venezuela should make any big decision about Venezuela's mineral wealth until after the elections, it is too important the Venezuelan people should decide the direction on this matter through the elections.

Both chambers of the Congress should pass a resolution calling for the Trump administration not to try to run Venezuela not ally with Maduro's allies still in power in Venezuela and not try to exploit Venezuela for its oil and drive Venezuela to hold new elections within the year recognizing there is a lot of political prisoners in Venezuela that need to be released and Democratic movements need to be formed and built so that there can be free elections! If Trump complies than Congress can promise and deliver a financing bill that will pay for the cost to transition Venezuela to where they hold good and fair elections and such a Venezuela government is stood up to the point where they get their sea legs!

Now Denmark is complaining over Trump taking Greenland. They are whining about how good a NATO partner they have been to the USA.

HELLO!

That is how Trump does biz. He will **** you in the ass and he won't even use any Vaseline! What idiots they are. Trump will **** anyone if it serves his purpose. Just like he recently threw the Nobel Peace Prize presidential hopeful of Venezuela to the curb after he was done with her.

Listen up and I am only going to tell you this once!

Trump is a lying conman and filthy pos. Sure I voted 3X for him, but only bc the filthy commie dem pigs are so bad. BUT... I'm not drunk on Trump's jizzum, like your garden variety MAGAt is. I know what Trump is and have always told you so.

They have exercised absolutely no control over the senile orange blob, and are scared shtless of him and what he might do to their career goals, if they cross him, and you know it.

How does any of that negate what I said? It doesn't. You didn't mention Congress at all.

You are letting your TDS talk because your brain is no longer connected.

 

[dudmuck]

Congress cannot change foreign policy. Not their job.

Otherwise excellent post! I think there may be hope for you yet as you have come to the realization that your TDS will not really change anything.

To be honest, it does seem like he's sticking to US traditions.

The US has been a world bully for a long, long time. It's gone after oil and lied and cheated and used force to get it.

It's what America is, it's the world's biggest C*NT

Pirates of the 21st Century

They have always been pirate states, temporarily replacing the Jolly Roger with tuxedos and top hats.
But nature calls them back.

Map of pirate fleets operating off the coast of North America. Once upon a time, it was even worse than Somalia.

Ten years ago, what Trump did to Venezuela — robbed it — was carried out by financial pirates from the IMF, the World Bank, and “private investors.” But the dollar as an instrument of robbery is becoming increasingly unreliable. And once again, noble buccaneers are back in the arena.
