Recently, the President announced land strikes against Venezuela. No U.S. President is authorized to commit acts of war in a sovereign country without authorization from Congress. I cosponsored this War Powers Resolution to force Congress to vote “for or against” this action. pic.twitter.com/GfIaeQUiny

Laos, Cambodia, Bosnia, Yemen , Syria, Lebanon, Sudan, Grenada, Cuba, Nicaragua, Philippines, Iran, and The Dominican Republic say hello.

Massie's not the biggest tool in the Senate, but he is certainly a tool

---

Like a lot of politicians….they discover that they love the limelight. Then they get addicted to it.

So they say increasingly controversial things to keep within its glow.

---

MTG for another example.

---

Trump?

---

Yes. But he hardly has to say anything to be in the news cycle in some way. Jealous narcissists maybe?

Trump just said we've blocked 94% of drugs coming into the US from Venezuela

The largest terror funding network in the world is now the American drug user.

---

And how would you fix that? A War on Drugs? Cause that's what Trump is actually doing. Everything else has been tried.

---

We aren't even doing a "War on Drugs". We're using the human tragedy of fentanyl to attack a failing state that has little to nothing to do with the fentanyl trade in order to establish a friendly regime and get access to oil. I wonder if there has been another situation where human tragedy was used to manufacture a case around deadly chemicals to depose a rogue regime and expand energy resources, and how did it go?

And do you know what we do with terror financing already under the Patriot Act and EO 13224? That would make a users life more difficult for sure.

The real solutions require either a trimming of individual rights and freedom, or a trimming of moral outrage. I prefer the latter despite my disdain for it as a solution.

---

Fentanyl doesn't come out of Venezuela. It is cocaine we are dealing with from what I've read. As for the rest of your post, we simply disagree. I say, let's use common sense. Blow these guys out of the water and put the fear of God into all the cartels. This is happening in international waters. Make it so. This is truly America's War on Drugs. Finally

---

Then why the secrecy? Why is Congress saying Biden gave them more info? We cant have a war on drugs by one branch with the other two in the dark. Someone said, why haven't they defunded them if they didnt approve? You really want to get to that point?

---

Not sure why we would need other branches of Dept of War right now. Everything can be taken care of by the US Navy. Why are you thinking we should bring them in?

---

Only Congress can declare War. Using military is war. This BS deeming them a terror organization
is a BS move to get around reporting to Congress. That is what has people upset, not attacking drug runners. But, you are the President and SecDef axt like it and give a **** about the Constitution...

---

Man, you are spinning wildly out of control here. Trump is acting under clear statutory authority to interdict a major part of a state-sponsored problem that kills 6-digits of our fellow citizens every year, that creates significant regional instability in our own theater, and has established relationships with the three hostile powers, one of which has directly killed thousands of Americans.

---

I will be the first to admit that your position is where the Trump Admin is living.

The ones putting America first are the Rand Pauls and the Thomas Massies, those who stand for the rule of law. It's a lonely battle in today's politics, particularly in the GOP.

They have become the "bad guys" now because they won't kiss Trump's ring
