Things are getting interesting down South.

Now it has been reported that Maduro has been captured and is on his way out of the country.
-
It's going to be interesting to find out some details on this.

I expect his response to be as dull and uninspiring as everything else he says.
I can hear him in my head now:
"We are very sad and disappointed that President Trump has taken this course of action."

Can we hope for a Twofer with the Mullahcrats going down?
I'm guessing that the drug smugglers the Dems and Progs have been supporting won't be protected by the Venezuelan air force.

Some videos about this:

I guess the Russian SAM systems Venezuela has did as well as they do in the Ukraine War.

María Corina Machado emerges as top potential successor after Máduro’s fall
https://www.foxnews.com/world/maria-corina-machado-emerges-top-potential-successor-after-maduros-fall (https://www.foxnews.com/world/maria-corina-machado-emerges-top-potential-successor-after-maduros-fall)
The successors to the ousted authoritarian Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro are likely to be the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner and opposition leaders María Corina Machado and Edmundo González, according to an expert on Caracas.
Jorge Jraissati, a Venezuelan who is the president of the Economic Inclusion Group, told Fox News Digital that "Machado and Gonzalez would assume a transitional government in Venezuela. They have the support of 70% of Venezuelans. They would lead this transition period." He added that "I believe Machado has the capacity and integrity to lead this very delicate transition. Key will be her ability to surround herself with young and capable Venezuelans instead of career politicians."
The United States recognized González as the legitimate leader of Venezuela after he soundly defeated Maduro by a more than two-to-one margin in the 2024 election. González replaced Machado after she was banned from running for the presidency by the Maduro-run high court. Maduro ignored the results.

Here's someone else in the need of some anal lubricant:
Mamdani Slams Trump's Illegal Maduro Arrest on Behalf of NYC Venezuelans (Who Wants to Tell Him?)
Last night President Trump approved a mission to take Nicolas Maduro and his wife into custody in Venezuela, and they are currently being brought to New York where they will face a number of charges. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani says he was briefed (we have no idea who gave Mamdani the briefing -- possibly his chief counsel who was a lawyer for Al Qaeda) on the situation and called it an illegal act of war which he is monitoring at least partly on behalf of Venezuelans living in NYC.
Is anybody surprised? Oh, and the guy who has expressed a desire to keep violent criminals on the streets is now concerned about New Yorkers' safety? Hilarious.

I'm kinda wondering how much of a fight Maduro's security detail put up.

After this attack, trust in the U.S. is broken. When a president openly commits illegal aggression, the message is clear: rules are for others. Canada and Greenland are now forced to see a new, unsettling reality.

So:
:thatsright: Reagan didn't invade Grenada and Panama?
:thatsright: Clinton didn't invade/attack Bosnia?
:thatsright: GWB didn't invade Afghanistan and Iraq?
:thatsright: Obama didn't invade Syria?
Trump capturing Maduro to face charges for the pertinent 2020 indictment (and newer?) has no precedent in US history! ::)

Heard it even mentioned properly that Truman entered Korea as a police action and not a war to circumvent Congressional approval.

In the 18th Century, nation states declared war on each other and went at it. That is the context to the USC's provision about declarations of war. In modern times nations like Venezuela and Iran conduct war, undeclared, using proxies. Some proxies are like Hamas and Hezbollah, which Iran funded and armed. Some proxies are like the drug smuggling orgs that smuggled deadly drugs and criminal thugs into the US, with the support and participation like Venezuela and Maduro.
Situations where proxies wage undeclared war are covered by the War Powers Act, and from what little I've heard, Trump's move complies with that.

Pay attention, Vlad!

Whether accurate or not, I've read that a President has 48 hours after a military action to notify Congress. Is that affected by the fact that US troops are no longer present in Venezuela? Beyond Trump :tongue: ing Dems in Congress, of course.

Is that 48 business hours? Asking for a deceased friend....

Does anyone else find it interesting how fast the protesters in quite a few cities were marching in the streets with new signs? Its like they were told ahead of time that something was going down in Venezuela.

Just wondering, is there going to be some renowned U.S. ambulance chaser who defends Maduro and his wife?
Jack Smith is looking for a gig. Ditto to James Comey and Merrick Garland. Maybe that Benjamin Crump guy who defends "injustice" to minorities anytime anywhere there are cameras. Perhaps one of those talking heads on MS-13 NOW like Lawrence Tribe that I read about their outrageous commentaries via conservative and rational websites.
Thoughts?
