Congress was lied to on Trump plans for Venezuela:

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

he'll create more false wars and a million more illegal actions as he plans on taking the USA out with him.

Since his health is failing and he can't hide it and his poll numbers sink he will take vengeance out on all Americans. He is a greedy, psychopathic sadist and what he has done in the past years is a small taste of what's to come for us. Don't forget, he plans to destroy us and our country. He wants to bankrupt then kill us.

The concept of representative government no longer matters to the right. The SCOTUS made sure of that while actively participating in their own demise.

What are YOU going to do?
Why aren't you calling out EVERY gop/maga traitor by name.
Make sure their constituents know what they voted for.
They have sold us out.

Don't make US lock and load!
That would be ugly!
Semper Fi Seth!

You actually believed them when they lied to your face?
We are fucked!

I am so pissed! Sorry if I offend.
