Schumer complains about Maduro arrest

[M14 Shooter]

Well just remember that this has been going on for thousands of years. I thought this stuff was over at the turn of the century but apparently not.

Who's to blame for all this? GW Bush and Dick Chaney. I truly believe that. Invading Iraq over lies. Even Trump knows Bush did that. It's why Trump complained when like Bush Trump broke the law. How come Pelosi didn't impeach Bush over lying us into Iraq? But then they come after me? In a way I understand his feelings. And Bush got away with rigging 2 elections why should Trump be convicted of it? Why go after him when you ignored all the shady shit Bush did? I get it!

Now how could the USA tell Russia they can't invade Ukraine?

And China is watching our every move. They're going to take Taiwan now. Why shouldn't they?

So maybe Bush opened up a can of worms and now the USA can either do it too or just sit by and watch China and Russia take over valuable resources? Imperialism.

Imperialism is the policy or practice of extending a nation's power and influence over foreign territories, often through direct territorial conquest or by establishing political and economic control, motivated by desires for wealth, resources, markets, or perceived cultural superiority, leading to profound transformations, exploitation, cultural clashes, and new global power dynamics. It involves both "hard power" (military force) and "soft power" (cultural influence) and can manifest as formal empires or indirect control, distinct from but often overlapping with colonialism.

All you do is lie.

Is this the same Chuck Schumer who said:

“I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won't know what hit you…”

After he dog whistled for lefties to assassinate SCOTUS judges, and one acted on it….AND NOW CHANGED FROM A DUDE TO A CHICK WHILE IN PRISON…

I IGNORE AMY’S UNCLE.

People forget that the intelligence agencies are the ones who feed our leaders foreign "information". The elder Bush was the head of one of those agencies and ALSO became president. He already owned that "Intel" when he was inaugurated and knew the Iraq agenda was actually about oil. Bush was the head of a long snake. Trump is not in that circle but still depends on that (phony) Intel for his decision making. He probably actually believes what the CIA tells him. So who is really running things, the president....or the intelligence community and their phony data? The CIA can make a war out of nothing and make it news when it suits them. And most of civilian America is clueless, including any president who has not been included in the circle. He just pushes the "attack" button when he is told the time is ripe.

Total none sense

 

[Cellblock2429]

Where to begin. US Laws or international laws? He absolutely broke international law. If Trump didn't break any laws then a President moving forward can do whatever they want and use whatever justification Trump is using here.

Recent news reports from late 2025 and early 2026 detail several instances where the Trump administration has been ruled by federal judges or government watchdogs to have violated the law.

Mass Termination of Federal Workers
Deployment of National Guard
Withholding of Congressionally Appropriated Funds
Go after political rivals
Misuse of Government Resources
Attacks on law firms
Getting FCC to fire Kimmel
34 felony counts

With this guy you have to be more specific.

/-----/ "international laws?"
I stopped reading at your first bald-faced lie. International law is a made-up term by liberals.

The "Command Theory" (John Austin)​

One of the most famous arguments comes from 19th-century legal philosopher John Austin. He argued that law is a "command" issued by a sovereign backed by sanctions.

• Lack of Sovereign: There is no "world government" or global legislature that sits above nation-states.
• Positive Morality: Because there is no higher authority to issue commands, Austin categorized international law as positive international morality—a set of social opinions or rules of conduct—rather than "true" law.

2. The Enforcement Gap​

In domestic law, if you break a rule, the state (police/courts) enforces a penalty. In the international arena, enforcement is often viewed as inconsistent or non-existent:

• The Veto Power: The UN Security Council is tasked with maintaining peace, but the five permanent members (U.S., China, Russia, UK, France) can veto any enforcement action against themselves or their allies.
• Selective Compliance: Powerful states often ignore international rulings when it conflicts with their "national interest," leading to the critique that the law only applies to the weak.

Should have consulted the Senate first. Trump was afraid of leaks. Doesn't trust the government. But he does trust Shell Oil.

/---/ He sure as hell is gonna trust Shell Oil with getting their refinery and lease back. Too many blabbermouths in the Senate.

/----/ There is no such thing as international law. No law supplants the US Constitution in the USA.

Sure there is a such thing as international law. You just want to ignore it. I bet you are a Sovereign Citizen type.

Sanders is 100% wrong

I am not an international citizen

I’m a citizen of the United States

There is international law, so long as the United States wants to enforce it

Without enforcement there is no law.

With that said no international law was violated here. Under the UN charter we are allowed to defend ourselves

Sanders LIED, the law is clear, a President is not required to notify Congress before military action is taken. He must report it with in 48 hours of enacting it.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Sunday blasted President Donald Trump following the capture Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, saying Trump’s “lawlessness” was pushing America into an endless war “with no discussion.”

But back in 2020, Schumer criticized Trump for not getting rid of Maduro. The New York Democrat said at the time Trump “brags” about everything but fails to deliver.

“Maybe the best metaphor was his claim to bring Democracy to Venezuela,” Schumer said during a Senate speech. “There was a big policy there. It flopped.”

“And the president brags about his Venezuela policy? Give us a break,” he continued. “He hasn’t brought an end to the Maduro regime. The Maduro regime is more powerful today and more entrenched today than when the president began [his first term].”

But his tune seemingly changed this weekend after the Trump administration arrested Maduro and flew him to Schumer’s state to face narco-terrorism charges.

On Sunday morning, Schumer told George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s This Week he had a number of problems with Trump’s Venezuela operation.

Schumer also said he had an issue with the Trump Administration failing to give Congress a heads-up on the Venezuela strike. Trump on Saturday told reporters he did not tell Congress about it beforehand because lawmakers have a “tendency to leak.”

Comment:
Chuck Schumer has once again proven that the Democrats have no real principles or integrity.
They are making asses of themselves once again.
Maduro was a corrupt Marxist dictator who was admired by crazy left wingers such as Sean Penn and Bernie Sanders.

I bet, he's on Maduro's bribe list.

 

[Clipper]

The President is not required to inform Congress before he takes actions of this nature. By law he just must inform them with in 48 hours of taking the action. Which he did.

Does it matter? Gutless Republican's such as his head groupie Lindsey Graham are so far up Trump's ass it's a wonder they can even breathe. Trump could flip them the finger tell them "**** you" & they'd resond, "right now, Dear Leader"?

Add lickspittle Mike Johnson to the cowardly mix.

has nothing to do with the law, Trump followed the law.

 

[M14 Shooter]

Sure there is a such thing as international law.

Sure. Most of it is treaty law.
Who enforces a treaty violation between by one or more parties to a treaty?

If he did, it will be a first.
