Chair Ken Martin: Trump has committed the United States to “running” another country
Trump promised peace, but has delivered war.
For months, the Trump administration has escalated conflict in Venezuela with unconstitutional and illegal strikes, and lied to the American people.
Now, Trump has committed the United States to running another country for the foreseeable future while Americans foot the bill for regime change.
This weekend, Trump finally said the quiet part out loud. The justification for this war isn’t about stemming the flow of drugs. This is about regime change. This is about enriching oil corporations and billionaires.
Congress must immediately assert its constitutional authority over American military action — the same authority Trump’s own chief of staff said he needs.
This is the worst kind of betrayal from Trump. He committed the United States to an uncertain role in South America with an indeterminate timeline. As Trump’s influence over the country and the world wanes, he is ready and willing to endanger Americans and abandon the Constitution as a last-ditch effort to hold on to power and relevancy.
We deserve better than this.
Ken
Where is the party?!?
Strongly worded letters and social media posts?!?
Agreed. And worse is yet to come! Where’s the outrage? Where are the demonstrations? Where are the editorials? Where is Congress?
