Venezuelans celebrate after US President Donald Trump announced that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro had been captured and flown out of the country.

President Trump offered and advance warning to Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro months before the US captured him and his wife.

“He doesn’t want to f--k around with the United States," the president said in an October press conference.

The Official White House Rapid Response account resurfaced the clip Saturday morning -- just hours after handing down a litany of charges against the embattled dictator and his wife.

Oh I’m sure activist federal judges are uniting to fight for his freedom as we speak.

Thing is, he goes back now and the people might just tear him to pieces

We are about to see who in our government is sucking at the teat of the drug cartels. Watch who yells about this action and you will know.

It’s a good thing. It makes their ‘real’ political bent crystal clear.

I am worried that we can keep our Constitution. I can’t see where all this socialism and communism fits in with that document. Or with the Bill of Rights.

Those judges (Soros stooges) might want to restrain themselves from now on. Trump is laying it all out in real time... ie what happens when you ‘F’ with the US and with him.

If so, hopefully he is returned to Venezuelan patriots who can give him a fair trial and equally fair execution that day like Nicolae Ceaușescu got in Romania.

Jonathan Turley said this morning that this isn’t different from the case of Noriega.

Let us see what all the details are about Maduro.

It may turn out he was involved in many of our domestic “troubles”.

Judge Boasberg just handed down his ruling. Maduro’s capture was illegal, and he must be returned to power in Venezuela immediately.

That’s exactly what I’m thinking. Some two-bit black-robed loudmouth will order the President to send him back, long before the NY jury can decree the same outcome. Or maybe Queen Hochul will intervene.

1/3rd the population of Venezuela has fled the country over the last ~decade, a huge chunk to the US. Fixing the problem at the source is going to do more to stop illegal immigration, and promote remigration than ICE raids.

This was not a war.It was a removal of an actual unelected commie dictator that picked up where Chavez left off. Maybe this will finally result in a Cuban rebirth. Well done. It will be interesting to see what transpires there. It will be a difficult job as it always is cleaning up after communism.

Nice - thanks for sharing...

I am worried that we can keep our Constitution.

It came with no effective enforcement mechanism. That is its greatest flaw.

I can’t see where all this socialism and communism fits in with that document. Or with the Bill of Rights.

Socialism of any sort is incompatible with the Constitution. Franklin Roosevelt was a fascist; his regime began the wholesale destruction of Constitutional government.
