I can't believe it. The Orange Snowflake has taken Venezuela's dictator into American custody without legal authority. Only congress can authorize America to go to war against another country, but the snowflake has usurped congress's authority and has said that the constitution doesn't apply to him. This reminds me of Germany's aggression towards its neighboring states prior to the beginning of WW2 in 1939. The big question is: What Comes Next?
Sadly, if congress wants to take back its powers, it will need to remove the current speaker of the house. The man has no problem genuflecting at the altar of the snowflake, and has never resisted anything demanded by the snowflake. I doubt this will happen, as many in the GOP are afraid of what the snowflake can do. Instead, many in the GOP are retiring from Congress, leaving it up to the remaining party to find candidates who can win. Only one problem - the party's reputation is so bad, that even hard-core GOP voters may vote against the party to stop the snowflake - if meaningful elections are held later this year.
Sadly, we haven't yet seen enough people in the GOP willing to challenge the snowflake. As a result, he keeps taking the powers that the constitution prohibits him from having. As this happens, we're seeing an erosion of our civil and human rights happen in real time. For example, many naturalized citizens now carry their passports with them at all times, hoping that proof of citizenship will keep them from being incarcerated in an ICE raid. Unfortunately, US citizens are being gathered up in these raids, and have been deported "by mistake."
Hopefully, the paperwork for my foreign birth registry will be processed before things in the US get too bad for me. Then, I will apply for (and get) my second passport and be able to exit the US if/when needed. These are scary times, and I'm afraid of what will happen here in the next year or two. So, if you don't live here, don't come here until things change.
