Ole’ Lindsey sucking up to Trump again?
He’s a US Senator…
A President leading a ‘WAR’ against two countries should have the backing of Congress….
(‘Playing the Game?’ )
Trump does believe Congress can stop him from doing ANYTHING…
Maybe they should just go ahead and disband the Congress?
“President Trump told me yesterday that he plans to brief members of Congress when he gets back from Asia about future potential military operations against Venezuela and Colombia,” Graham said. “So there will be a congressional briefing about a potential expanding from the sea to the land. I support that idea.”
Since the administration began its strikes in early September, more than 30 people have been killed. The administration has repeatedly said such actions are protecting Americans from incoming drugs and cartels.
But critics of the administration have argued the strikes are illegal, particularly since there is no way to prove after the fact that the targets of the strike were guilty of anything.
Graham on Sunday pushed back on the criticism and attacked Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
“The end game is to make sure that Venezuela and Colombia cannot be used to poison America, that the narco-terrorist dictator Maduro no longer be able to threaten our country and to send in drugs to kill Americans,” he said.
But some Republicans have also condemned the president’s actions.
Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and James Lankford (R-Okla.) both argued against the strikes. Lankford said that he would be “apoplectic” if former President Joe Biden had done the same thing.
Still, Graham dismissed the concerns, promising senators that more information is forthcoming…..
