Even if it could be done with no risk of leaks Congressional approval would still involve this:
Dem Senator Foghorn: 'Mr. President, I'm considering supporting your military operation. But I'm wondering if you got my message about our state building a giant zoo for underpriveleged children. We would only need $75 Milion from a federal grant to start construction.'
Multiply this times at least 50 other members of Congress and Trump would get approval sometime in February.....of 2027.

ever since LBJ, the media gives Democrats a pass on breaking the rules of war. Ground level Democrats were silent for 12 years on Obama/Biden and then Biden/Harris blowing half the world up. But they'll be out in multitudes tomorrow protesting and pretending to be "anti war"


Biden sent 2,000 American soldiers into Syria a year ago, during Christmas, and worked with ISIS and Al Queda to oust Assad, the guy who allowed Christians to live in peace in Syria. And...you could hear a pin drop. The media did not give a rat's arse.

Same on Yemen. Obama/Biden triggered that war for Saudi Arabia, and then the media allowed Biden to campaign "against the war in Yemen."

But, same old story, propagandists will carpet bomb planet earth with this move on Venezuela and all the little leftist liars will be filming themselves protesting "their Vietnam"


Does that mean it was okay for Trump to go in without congressional approval? frick no. It's unconstitutional. I know that's hard for most of you dipshits to understand.The elitists of both parties are on the same side behind closed doors, laughing their asses off. That's why Trump once said to us, "They don't hate me. They hate you."


Trump and Bondi and whoever will be doing sweeping crushing gun control on us in the next couple of years. Just watch.

Tell that to the Biden regime who placed the exact same bounty on Maduro that was placed on Bin Laden by Bush.

1989 Just Cause some in congress were notified and Noriega knew we were coming, he wasn't home when Delta came knocking and SEAL Team 4 had a couple of platoons walk into waiting trap at Patilla air field 4 dead many wounded some catastrophically. So telling congress is moot... Noriega knew we were coming.

Imagine if Pakistan a nuclear power thought we were invading them.

Madura =/ Bin.Laden. The overall circumstances were not comparable, and everyone with a functioning brain knows it…

Osama didn’t personally kill over 3,000 Americans in terror attacks in 1993, 1998, 2000, and 2001 but he funded it.

Maduro didn’t kill an exponentially higher number of Americans in drug overdoses but he funded it.

I’m not saying Maduro was a more imminent threat to Americans, but if we’re talking about justification, Maduro’s threat to American citizens was no less serious than the one Osama posed.

Congressional approval is a red herring. A big fat red herring. Congress need only approve a formal declaration of war, which hasn’t happened since WWII. Congressional notification is needed in certain circumstances but not prior to the operation in most cases.


We need to push back on the media driven lie that the CIC needs congressional permission to run the military.

He’s a dictator that was voted out but refused to leave. He jailed and killed citizens and politicians that opposed him…. I thought you supported the no kings protest?

Don’t entertain this nonsense. The perpetrators don’t have to be the same in order to use the same legal mechanisms for capture.

Besides, there’s plenty more precedent for this type of operation, like Noriega, etc.

I've been told Biden was not the elected leader and yet somehow he ran the government for 4 years and the military never stormed the White House to grab him

No man. 30 seconds after the election was called by CNN, we were told over and over again, with no evidence or examination whatsoever, that it was the most secure election in US history and any suggestion that it wasn’t was labeled “the big lie”.

He didn't need to "get' approval because it had already been granted under the 2001 AUMF passed by Congress after 9/11. That authorization explicitly covered al-Qaeda and its leadership.

Terrible argument when the answer is Obama had pre-existing congressional authorization passed after 9/11.
