larry johnson has some thoughts to share about the latest trump move;

The time no longer exists… At least as a majority of opinion. The citizens of the US who are cheering the kidnapping of Nicolas Maduro and his wife for the alleged crime of narco-terrorism is an appalling reminder that the majority of Americans endorse a policy in which the government, regardless who is President, can do any damn thing they want without regard to the law or the Constitution.

Trump is not the one setting a dangerous precedent… He is simply continuing a tradition of unlawful, illegal conduct of being able to use the US military as a cudgel against anyone that the President and his team decide are bad. George W.

Terrorism is the excuse that tyrants use to deprive people around the world of their fundamental human rights. In the United States, accusations of being a terrorist or supporting a terrorist becomes a justification to deny US citizens of their Constitutional rights.
