This was not a war, and the Venezuelan citizens are celebrating. Venezuelan President Nicols Maduro's damage goes well beyond the drug trade. His socialist and authoritarian policies burdened the region with millions of refugees. He flooded the U.S. with migrants in an effort to sow political discord. Maduro also part of the axis of U.S. adversaries that includes Russia, China, Cuba and Iran, and all these countries were helping to keep him in power. His capture is a demonstration of President Trump's declaration to keep America's enemies from spreading chaos in the Western Hemisphere.

The Democrats claim of an illegal invasion of Venezuela is another example of their unlimited hypocrisy. They claim to hate dictators and organized at least two "No Kings" protests against President Trump. President Trump's actions resulted in toppling an evil dictator that Venezuelans waited for almost 27 years to end. Yet, leftists are protesting the capture of Maduro because they claim it's imperialism.

My favorite Democrat

Less than a year ago, President Biden upped the Maduro bounty to $25,000,000.

Removing Maduro was positive for Venezuela.

As a Democrat, I don’t understand why we can’t acknowledge a good development for Venezuelans—and how deft our military’s execution of that plan was.

John Fetterman rarely votes with Republicans, but I think he is the most rational Democrat.

I think Tucker has a brain tumor or something.
What a weirdo.

He stands out because he is not a partisan. He votes with the Ds because that is what he believes, but he doesn't knee jerk oppose anything Trump does just because Trump is on the wrong team. Most of the rest of the dems are hyper partisans who treat their political views through a team sport lens. They will aupport and espouse whatever opinion is needed to oppose the other team.

So he says things you might like from time to time, but he still votes the same as the most rabid TDS infested partisan blue state dem? Not sure I see any value in that.

I didn't say he was somebody I would vote for. But I appreciate his intellectual honesty and willingness to call out his own side for their hypocrisy and ridiculous positions at times. People who you have honest disagreements with but who are willing to be honest about what they want are people you can work with to find common ground. People who will oppose anything you say or do because you are on the wrong team, even if what you are doing is something they advocated for last year, are impossible to work with because they will attempt to block anything you do, just because they can.
