    I am failing to see how taking Maduro isn't a crime of International law.

    I also still don't understand how Taking Noriega wasn't either...
    It’s only a crime if committed against America! This administration doesn’t abide by any laws at all!

    And this is exactly how he keeps getting elected. While you have people like our friend here you are going to have this baffoon behaving like he runs the world. Listening to him tug himself off in public is unbearable

    I remembered a meeting happening during the campaign. It's not unreasonable to think that they discussed more than environmental regulations.

    AI Overview
    Yes, Donald Trump held a significant private dinner with oil executives and lobbyists at his Mar-a-Lago resort in April 2024, where he reportedly asked for $1 billion in campaign donations in exchange for promising to dismantle environmental regulations if reelected

    . Attendees included figures from ExxonMobil, the American Petroleum Institute, and executives like Harold Hamm, with reports indicating discussions around rolling back Biden's energy policies. This meeting prompted probes by House Democrats and the Senate Budget Committee into potential campaign finance violations. 

    Key Details of the Meeting:
    • Date: April 11, 2024.
    • Location: Mar-a-Lago, Palm Beach, Florida.
    • Attendees: Around 20 executives and lobbyists, including from ExxonMobil, EQT Corp, and the American Petroleum Institute, organized by Harold Hamm.
    • The Offer: Trump allegedly told attendees they should donate $1 billion to his campaign, promising to reverse climate and environmental rules hampering their industry. 
    Reactions & Investigations:
    • Democratic Probes: House Democrats, led by Rep. Jamie Raskin, launched an investigation into the alleged quid pro quo, sending letters to CEOs.
    • Senate Interest: Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, Chair of the Senate Budget Committee, also expressed interest in investigating, citing potential corruption and lack of transparency.
    • Legality: Experts noted the request was ethically troubling but likely legal under current interpretations, as it wasn't a clear, specific exchange for a specific action, though it aligns with campaign practices, according to the Washington Post. 
    What Trump Promised:
    • Undo Joe Biden's restrictions on gas export permits.
    • Increase oil drilling.
    • Relax vehicle pollution standards.

    Never stops being funny to me that there are adults who think Trump acts in good faith, on anything, let alone that he cares about the USA.  Really comical stuff.

    and bingo was his name-o

    Anyone even feeling the need to take the time to mention something about what Maduro is or is not in this context of unjust and illegal invading of another country, is an idiot.
    I'm just SLIGHTLY less concerned with people adding context to their comment than the actual incident itself. Things get twisted all the time on the internet, so it's best to be crystal clear of one's position. I have zero issue with that.  
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    In all these pics, Maduro looks like a guy that knows his legal team can totally fuck with the Bondi DOJ. Like he thinks it’s funny and he is gonna make it blow up in their faces.
