Several Democratic senators and one Republican, Rand Paul of Kentucky, filed a war powers resolution to prevent the United States from using its armed forces to engage in hostilities with Venezuela without congressional approval.
The resolution was filed by Paul and Democratic senators Tim Kaine, Va., Adam Schiff, Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, N.Y. It directs President Donald Trump to stop using the military “unless specifically authorized by a declaration of war or specific authorization for use of military force,” according to The Hill.

As had been pointed out in another thread, rand paul is campaigning to make himself look good for new primary voters....
in this case, it looks like dems who will cross over to vote for him in the presidential primary, since rand paul wouldn't need help for another senate run
Rand Paul keeping his record of sponsoring 0% successful legislation.
He’s incredibly useful at being useless. Like his buddy Massoe.
Enemies domestic.
Patrick Byrne alleges, on behalf of his high ranking sources,
Venezuela and Cuba Intelligence finalized payments to US Politicians. The source was to execute the payments by end of that day. He has the receipts.
Some of those Politician receiving Venezuela bribes remain in office.
Are the corrupt blocking President Trump? Do they really want addictive drugs shipped into USA and kill folks?
We shall see
How, and more to the point WHY, does he think the British and US navy dealt with piracy in the 19th century... in order to finally make trade and travel safe for the whole world???????
Seems only fair to ping you to any Rand article.
Really sick of this lil gnome joining with the Dems.
Hey, Lil Randy ...
You’re either with US/USA or you’re with the narco-terrorists.
Thanks, KY, for the two Dem supporting bums.
When will there be a declaration of war for Vietnam?
“The resolution was filed by Paul and Democratic senators Tim Kaine, Va., Adam Schiff, Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, N.Y.”
If you were a REAL Republican, would you want to be on a list with Tim Kaine, Va., Adam Schiff, Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, N.Y.?
Hey Rand, how much money are you getting from the drug cartels?
If you were a REAL Republican, would you want to be on a list with Tim Kaine, Va., Adam Schiff, Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, N.Y.?

100% violates one of my core guidance principals. If pelosi, schumer, biden, obunga, pencilneck, are on one side of an issue there is virtual certitude that being on the opposite side of said issue is the right place to be.
They want desperately to drive a wedge between Trump and his people!
It's understandable coming from Liberals, but so shameful coming from a 'Republican'! They get a mandate handed to them and THIS is their way to act?
There hasn’t been a declared war since WW2?
Paul should be ashamed of himself, allying himself with the enemies of civilization.
Dealing with Venezuela is more like dealing with the Barbary pirates. And narcos are not covered by the Geneva conventions on The customary laws of war. Drug runners are not enemy combatants. They are basically pirates and anarcho-terrorists.
Afghanistan?
Iran?
Libya?
Syria?
Somalia?
Pakistan?
Iraq?
Serbia?
How many bombed or droned countries have I missed?
Or the ones not in our hemisphere don’t count?
We have hit so many countries for a variety of reasons...and we did NOT need a Declaration of War.
Paul is a joke...
What Trump is doing is covered under section 104 of the patriot act. But these fools already knew that.

He’s so far off the rails…a deep dive on his finances and those of family friends and donors……should be underway
