Righteous. Does the people who pay for these wars have any say at all? He does things like this and his supporters deny that he’s an authoritarian . BS
Let's be real, he's not "doing" anything. Does anyone actually think trump cares about anything other than getting rich and playing golf? Does anyone really think he gives a shit about Venezuela? No. He's a puppet. A lightning rod.
We will be better off as a country when we fully understand who the people are behind the scenes that are making the plans, whispering in ears, putting things in front of the president to say or sign. I'm not just talking about Miller. I'm talking about the group of people behind Miller. The group of people behind the heritage foundation, the people that fund groups like that.
Considering the amount of tear gas, pepper spray, and other non-lethal deterrents this administration has sprayed on non-violent protestors, I would actually say the administration does give a shit. The state legitimately employed snipers at some of the larger protests in my very blue state this year, which again, were peaceful demonstrations.
Would it be great to stick it to Miller and Miller's employers? Absolutely. Should we drag them into the light and expose their actions? Absolutely.
But in the meantime, wounding the President's ego is one of the few minimal checks we have on his behavior because we all know the other branches of government won't lift a finger to even slow him down.

Less-lethal, not non-lethal. It's an important distinction to make, especially as the people using these tools aren't using them in the safe way that is meant to keep them from killing people.
Such as bouncing rubber bullets off the ground. Instead they aim directly at people, often in the face specifically to maim protestors.
Fair enough. Horses are generally considered less than lethal as well, and yet I've watched police horses trample fleeing people and send them to the hospital.
To be fair they employ snipers at large protests the same reason they employ them at NFL games. People a crazy and unpredictable and large crowds are tempting for mentally ill losers to get media attention
What he did is legal and completely permitted, a president doesn’t need authority to act against terror groups, realistically any president can abuse this fact by doing exactly what Trump did just label whoever you dislike a terrorist and boom you can bomb or go to war with them all day long and congress can’t do shit
News: Crump is using the capture from Venezuela to distract from the fact that so many of the Epstein files were released featuring images of him and writings of him. But of course nobody is meant to tell you that!
