Week Too Late: Sen. Schumer Vows Vote to Block Venezuela Action Next Week
Front Page Magazine ^ | 01/04/2026 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 01/04/2026 4:34:35 AM PST by DFG

After the capture and arrest of Venezuelan dictator and cartel leader Maduro, the untiring gentlemen of the Senate, led by Sen. Chuck Schumer, have vowed to pass a resolution blocking any action against Venezuela.

Sen. Schumer, Sen. Adam Schiff, Sen. Tim Kaine, Hillary’s former VP, and Sen. Rand Paul are teaming up on a resolution to try and turn back the clock. No word on whether it will ask for Maduro’s return.

While Congress has a legitimate role in declaring war, this resolution is stupid and destructive to the point of being treasonous.

President Trump has signaled that he’s not pursuing regime change. Instead of backing Machado, he’s treating Maduro’s VP as the current leader of Venezuela. The goal here is to pressure the regime into ending the drug trafficking, rather than regime change.

This Senate resolution undermines the leverage Trump gained from capturing Maduro to stop something that seemingly isn’t happening anyway. If actual regime change were on the agenda, it would be happening now. The regime has been undermined, but it hasn’t fallen. And the Democrats and Libertarians pursuing this resolution are just undermining Trump’s leverage to stop drug trafficking out of Venezuela which paradoxically makes a military confrontation and regime change more likely.

“vowed to pass a resolution blocking any action against Venezuela. Sen. Schumer, Sen. Adam Schiff, Sen. Tim Kaine, Hillary’s former VP, and Sen. Rand Paul”

Typical response from the Traitor Party of America except this time led by Republican diva Rand singing his latest aria.

There's a rogue's gallery of the worst filth in the Senate.

Is Tim Kaine homosexual?

I am surprised to hear from timmy lk.
He usually is spending quiet time slurping from the public trough.
Maybe this Venezuelan thing is the threat to stealing another election

Does anything change in Venezuela with Dulcy R. at the helm?

From the posted article:
“President Trump has signaled that he’s not pursuing regime change. Instead of backing Machado, he’s treating Maduro’s VP as the current leader of Venezuela.”

These clowns know Maduro is singing like Lainey Wilson at the CMA awards, naming names of those Congressmen and Senators who were on his payroll to save his own ass.
Let the show begin and watch them vapor lock when Trump announces Maduro is “fully cooperating” with the investigations.

Schumer can’t let the money flow be stopped. He might want to retire.

“Sen. Tim Kaine, Hillary’s former VP”

So this must mean Hillary was President?
