We — yes, we — are in an emergency situation.
We — yes, we — have illegally, according to our own laws, and in defiance of our UN agreements, invaded Venezuela and “arrested” President Maduro on charges that have no true legal rationale, his illegitimacy not withstanding. The Administration’s claims that this was a law enforcement action and not a military invasion are farcical. And it is clear that the real basis of this invasion has nothing to do with drugs: Venezuela is responsible for a relatively small percentage of opioids flowing into the US; Trump pardoned a far greater drug trafficker, Juan Hernandez, just a while ago; Trump contacted oil CEOs before the attack, but not Congress, as required by law.
We — yes we — are in this for the oligarchy, the oil-igarchy, and Trump’s id, nothing else.
We — yes, we — have now suspended child care benefits across the nation, based on allegations of fraud in Minnesota, although those allegations are suspect according to Minnesota’s own investigations. Even if the allegations end up to be correct, leave it to the Trump Administration to trump up a local issue into an excuse to harm the underprivileged nationwide.
We — yes, we — are destroying the world order that we, yes we, helped build.
We — yes, we –are responsible for this. We elected Donald Trump; we — yes, we — are represented by him whether we like it or not.
We — yes, we — are the only recourse we have to reverse this, to end this tyranny, to live up to the ideals that our elected President has so trampled on.
We — yes, we.
Please.
Affirming Democracy, Gathering Resistance 
Gary, I agree with every word. This is a spreading crisis of Trump’s making on all fronts, and it reflects his narcissism and his worsening mental state. There is every ground for fearing that his impulsiveness and the Nazi-like conformance of his senior leaders will suddenly erupt in other explosive actions — for example, carrying out some of the threats he has made against Mexico, Cuba, and Greenland. There seems to be no limit in his own impulsiveness or the rationality is people around him. And the message to Russia and China is clear: green light for your actions against your targets as well. I fear for Taiwan. The Congress must intervene urgently on the question of War Powers and the binding requirements of the UN Charter.
