Dumbest post of the month - congrats.

It’s early and you’re still here, you’ll win the award don’t fret.

Dotard has claimed absolute power to do anything he wants under the umbrella of Article II powers before. He's wrong.

During his first term, President Trump proclaimed, “I have an Article II, where I have the right to do whatever I want as president. But I don’t even talk about that.” In his second term, Trump has talked about Article II a lot. In doing so, he has asserted that he has the authority to violate statutes passed by Congress and orders and precedents of the courts.

In the two months since his inauguration, the government has taken the position in ongoing litigation that Trump’s actions prevail over statutes like the Civil Service Reform Act, the Impoundment Control Act, and the Administrative Procedure Act. Meanwhile, Trump has also openly ignored the Supreme Court’s decision in Humphrey’s Executor and a district court order limiting the deportation of individuals from Venezuela.

The Meaning of Article II and 'Executive Power' to Trump

President Trump has cited Article II to justify everything from deportations to firing civil servants—these assertions present a challenge to constitutional order.

No. He hasn’t made that claim. And, in any case, he can do those things as President (THE Executive Branch) which Article II spells out.

I’d explain it to you, but you’re vastly too simple-minded to follow along.

 

[Dorian Mode]

Bullshit, Trump specifically platformed on NOT invading and running countries.

Nobody voted for doing this.

Bullshit. The people voted for Trump to be POTUS and execute the duties of the POTUS. They did not vote to micromanage the POTUS. He is doing his job, and doing it well, unlike Biden and Obama when they were POTUS. Last year the people voted for a POTUS who gets things done because the Obama and Biden administrations weren't able. You're just pissing your panties because Trump is preventing you democrap neo-leftists from destroying America and installing a Maduro-like government.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Of course they would have. The left absolutely hates this country to the core. They hate it.

 

[progressive hunter]

This was a complicated mission and trump pulled it off perfectly. Can this man do anything wrong?

hes done a lot if things wrong but mostly wins bigly,,

 

[Captain Caveman]

Got that right. Democrats support illegal aliens and they want VZ to keep sending their poor and criminal to america. All democrats are literally traitors and they'd do anything to sabotage this mission.

He had to, otherwise a Democrat judge would have put the brakes on it before it happened. Dems need to protect the criminals, it's their raison d'etre.

 

[struth]

You don't think amassing a large military force close by was a tipoff to what was coming? Besides, the authorization could have been along the lines of the vague one Shrub got before he decided to invade Iraq. Eventually causing the Arab Spring and subsequent exodus of refugees to Western Europe, then the backlash, resulting in the rise of the extreme Right there.

Then maybe Maduro should of taken the hint and left the country, as was requested


The Arab Spring was a wonderful thing that Obama, xiden and Clinton completely botched

 

[BluesLegend]

Dems: Just when we thought we had Trump on the ropes for the midterms he pulls off this worldwide WIN and millions are cheering his name.

Of course they would have leaked. That goes without saying.

 

[BluesLegend]

Yes MAGA is in control and the Democrats are in disarray.

Democrats have filed an emergency brief with the SCOTUS, they claim the size of Trump's balls is illegal.

 

[BluesLegend]

You're whining over a ******* dictator getting taken out.

Just listen to you.

Oh yeah, your "facts" are wrong too. No one of importance recognized Maduro as the leader because he stole the election.

Thus ANYBODY could take that piece of shit down.

Trump is the only one with the stones to do it.

Sucks to be you.

Dems are all sourpuss because Trump has once again captured the narrative and it's all about his huge win and millions are cheering him around the world. There's gonna be a lot of drunk Democrats over the next couple of weeks.

 

[excalibur]

But he has done numerous things to punish Russia

Why do you choose to believe fantasy instead of reality?

He's most likely a sock.

 

[Company 13]

I’m sorry you were upset that your pal Meduro was arrested

It takes a special kind of nuttiness to imagine that Maduro is my pa.

 

[marvin martian]

Schumer would have called Maduro on speed dial.

I actually believe the demokkkrats would have sent a rescue mission to get Maduro out of the country and to a friendly place like NYC or LA.

 

[AntonToo]

Bullshit. The people voted for Trump to be POTUS and execute the duties of the POTUS.

Yes dumbass, people voted for POTUS to be POTUS.

They didn't vote for him to run Venezuela and take their oil, claims that there is some sort of electoral mandate for this is nonsense.

You weren’t aware that there was a 25 million dollar bounty on Meduro and sanctions on their oil?

Well some of us are informed voters, others are dembots like you

 

[AntonToo]

No you arent…haha you literally are doing the opposite

You went from no kings to leave the dictator alone real quick

Asstruth, did you even read what I’ve been saying?

Nowhere did say anything about “leaving dictator alone”, what I said was leave VENEZUELA to its people. Don’t run it, don’t grab their oil, respect their sovereignty and international law.

No a single word of that is license for foreigners to run that country and grab their oil.

Not a single one.

Know nothing bullshit peddlers like you imagining themselves to be “informed voters” is really ironic.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

that removing Maduro and his wife are not the kind of new hostilities that would require notice to, or a declaration from, Congress. Despite it being a large military operation reportedly leaving 40 dead Venezuelans behind.

Venezuelan Official Says at Least 40 People Were Killed in U.S. Attack​

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/world/americas/venezuela-airstrike-civilian-deaths.html

It leaves me with a question: If the U.S. was just going in to Venezuela to arrest a defendant in a criminal case, which has now been done, why is it necessary to stick around to run the country? Sticking around being evidence the real goal goes beyond bringing Maduro to justice. Making the incursion a violation of both international and US law.

Leading me to ask another question, similar to the philosophical one that begins "If a tree falls in the forest........" In practical terms, if the government breaks the law, but there is no one to enforce it, has the law been broken?

I heard it was a genocide!!!

DURR

Meduro was the indicted dictator running the place. Venezuelans were being oppressed by him

The people voted him out

We are helping them have their country
