You are so, so right. Since Ronald Reagan it's been at worst, an unhidden attempt to change the entire structure of the country in values, belief, tolerance, fairness, good sense, to embarrassments we didn't want our children to hear about.

Corruption, lies, more lies, and I gotta say more lies, that tried men's souls.
Charitably, Trump broke even on his first tour around the casino/clown show/conspiracy center and the 4 year funny nose and glasses night that FJB delivered unto us.

They couldn't stop him, jail him, bankrupt him, intimidate him and trying to kill him hasn't worked and now, wooo babies! They, we and I have never seen anything like this and plopping him into the old leftover circus tents flapping around doesn't work.

They challenge him and he explains in three word sentences that they are very stupid. They try to talk over him and he shuts them up.

I live about 16 miles west of Seattle in an enclave of lefties. (I'll spare you my proof statements) They are going bat-shit, speaking in tongues, wondering how people can be so stupid and when they get hoarse they bitch about property taxes.

There is no reasoning, no persuading, no cajoling that's going to move my home grown commies or apparently those worshipping Gia and Greta in the rest of the country.

The best response is laugh out loud and never give up.

“Maduro is a horrible, horrible person, but you don’t treat lawlessness with other lawlessness, and that’s what’s happened here,” Schumer said, adding that the U.S. government lacks the authority to conduct such an operation inside Venezuela—which he described as a “violation of the law”—without getting congressional authorization first.

(1) into hostilities or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances;
(2) into the territory, airspace or waters of a foreign nation, while equipped for combat, except for deployments which relate solely to supply, replacement, repair, or training of such forces; or
(3) in numbers which substantially enlarge United States Armed Forces equipped for combat already located in a foreign nation;
the President shall submit within 48 hours to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and to the President pro tempore of the Senate a report, in writing, setting forth—
(A) the circumstances necessitating the introduction of United States Armed Forces;
(B) the constitutional and legislative authority under which such introduction took place; and
(C) the estimated scope and duration of the hostilities or involvement.

Cancel the ability of any federal employee to stay at any Hilton Hotel, worldwide.

They are guaranteed a number of paid rooms, even it not used, as part of their contract rates with the USG.

That'll get their attention.

That is probably the local franchise owner, not Hilton Corporate. I would be shocked if Hilton felt this way, but the franchisees have a lot of leeway on their policies.

It will be interesting to see how this shapes up. In any case, I am a Hilton Honors Gold member, but I will staying in other hotels until I see how this is resolved.
