| 2017-08-13 |
| [Iran Press TV] A US Republican senator says Congress would "obviously" not authorize war against Venezuela after President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... threatened the crisis-hit South American country with a military action. Senator Ben Sasse criticized Trump on Friday night for the president’s remarks made earlier in the day in New Jersey. Trump told news hounds that he would not rule out a "possible military option" in Venezuela, which has long grappled with political and economic crisis. "No. Congress obviously isn't authorizing war in Venezuela," Sasse said in a statement. The senator from the US state of Nebraska, who is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said, "Congress doesn't vote to spill Nebraskans' blood based on who the executive lashes out at today." |

| #7 Leave Venezuela alone. They voted to get themselves in this mess and they still love Chavez and think that the latest idiot is the one that fucked things up. Never mind Chavez built the system he is using. Let them sit in their own shit and die. |

| #6 I think President Trump is only playing mindf*ck, which is by the way, easy to do with the geniuses in congress and the media. |

| #5 I'm opposed to bailing Venerealzuela out of the results of their own stupidity as well, but Bend Asse is only opposed because of Trump listing it as an option. If Yeb! or the Beest had wanted to waste blood and treasure on Chavezland, Asse would be entirely in favor. |

| #3 "No. Congress obviously isn't authorizing war in Venezuela," Sasse said in a statement. We'd all be incinerated in a thermonuclear tsunammi before Congress could come out of their bunker and get their collective kak together to 'declare war.' |

| #2 Did it authorize it in Libya or Syria? Someone is funding it. As I read this P2K, my thoughts too. |
