Wait, that's mixed up. I may have confused some on that issue. I went back and corrected it later.

The current VP of Venezuela has not said anything. Trump was talking about the president of Colombia. I misheard that at first.

I did mention a female who actually won the election in 2024, 70% to 30%, but she is in exile in Europe, and may or may not be involved in the new government.

Was listening to Fox News and they mentioned the VP will cooperate with the USA. Could have misheard of course.

Trump told her it would be profitable to work with him.

The current VP of Venezuela has perhaps not said anything. Trump was talking about the president of Colombia. I misheard that at first.

Yeah, who knows? I was trying to listen and type at the same time.

EDIT: Okay, I figured it out. Trump was talking about the VP of Venezuela, who is female, and said he didn't think she was strong enough to take over. I thought he meant the female currently in exile who actually won the election in 2024, but no.

I think a lot of Trump’s supporters are isolationists and will be very unhappy.

This board is blindly following him. It’s great that Maduro is gone but I fear our price. See Iraq. All of you critique Bush as an idiot for Iraq and Afghanistan but love Trump getting us into a bigger quagmire than Iraq. You are scared of selling weapons to Ukraine but want us to run Venezuela? This is NOT Panama. Maduro has a lot of people who love him and his movement.

Polar rule. America is taking over their part of the Hemisphere.

I would like to hear the explanation of how a foreign national on foreign soil was charged with NFA violations. That’s going to be a wild amount of making **** up.

Where are all the Trump supporters that think the NFA should be abolished?

You need to get off X. The US has been doing this for centuries. ie: El Chapo.

The NFA was passed in 1934, so we have not been charging people with NFA violations for centuries.

El Chapo was arrested in Mexico and extradited to the US, so that isn’t a good example. Manuel Noriega would be a better example.

El Chapo was charged with “using a firearm in furtherance of drug crime” which seems much easier convict someone of who wasn’t in the US once you tie that their drug crimes crossed US borders.

NFA laws are possession laws. It is unlawful to possess a machine gun unless it was placed on the registry before it closed in 1986, and it was transferred to you via the appropriate ATF form (4) and background process including fingerprints. Destructive devices are the same way without the registry date.

It would seem very hard to convict someone of possessing something outlawed by the United States unless they were physically in the United States. We can’t outlaw the possession of items in other countries.

I don't see that at all. Most of the right on this board barely tolerate Trump, even though they support most of his positions. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Just speaking for myself, I'm not a Trump supporter. I support his policies but I dislike his personality. I actually don't like either party, but the Dems have gone overboard to the left, and I don't see them coming back.

As for Maduro personally, I have no reservations about taking him out. He had to go. He was shipping tons of cocaine to the US and elsewhere, and Trump, per Rubio in the presser, had made several generous offers to Maduro to leave, but he refused.

As for the US running Venezuela indefinitely, I'm not thrilled about that and need more info.

Exactly this. You said it better than I did. There are only two parties to support. One has gone completely haywire, leaving us with Trump, but that doesn't mean we like him, lol.

Wonder the Saudi take on us flooding the market with cheap oil? Only wonder because they have been useful with some of our ME efforts.

The world can be complicated.

Yep. Again, I'm not a big fan of his personality. His positions, on the other hand, are easily supportable.

What's really impressive is Maduro's men knew we were coming, b/c we first turned out most of the lights in Caracas. We met fairly heavy resistance when we approached Maduro, but no American lives were lost, and we were in and out in a short period of time.

Maduro never knew what hit him. He was running to get in his bunker. He made it to the door, but that was it.

And now Colombia's idiot president, where much of the cocaine that winds up here originates, is talking trash to Trump. Keep it up, buster.
