Guys, be honest. Whether you support what happened or not, this operation would collapse on its head if congress was informed ahead of time.

An administration that doesn’t follow the rule of law. And administration of lies, deceit, witch-hunt and outright criminality. I can’t wait for this to end and for Trump and them all to be thrown in jail

Rubio seemed hypnotically locked in trump mode, talking about Biden, deals, and how we’re suckered. Not to mention he’d correct himself from saying “my” to “Donald Trump”
He also kept trailing off thoughts like he’s above needing to be coherent, and flexing that “moral superiority” they seem to keep squeezing out

Impeach them all.

36 years prior (to the day) George H W Bush did the same thing in Panama to capture Noriega. He too did not ask for Congressional approval.
If Congress wanted to curb these powers they had nearly four decades to do so and did not.
So although Rubio certainly should be pressed on why they did not ask for congressional approval today, some of the blame needs to fall on Congress.

*“was not an action that required congressional approval” because it was “not an extended military operation.”
“This is a very precise operation that involved a couple of hours of action,” he said.*
So, on that logic ANY country is fair game to invade and abduct the leader regardless of any international law. Does that logic also mean we in Europe can move on Trump then?

He was also on meet the press having a tantrum and throwing up smoke screens. He is such a terrible interview.

He didn’t have to ASK for approval.

[It was leaked to the NY Times by his own administration. ](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15433069/Venezuela-Nicolas-Maduro-raid-leaked-NYT-WP.html)They are such idiots.
And it did zero
The little guys are such good followers.
I used to have some respect for Rubio. Just another partisan shill now.
Make no mistake about it: All of Congress could have approved this and it would STILL be WRONG. Congressional approval is not the reason this is bad
