“I think our goal should be clear and that we will not tolerate criminal activity happening in the United States, and I think if we can cut off the supply of money, it will cut off the political power that cartels have, and you’ll see reforms happen in Venezuela.”

[MISSOURI CONGRESSMAN BURLISON: U.S. MUST STOP NARCO TERRORISTS, NOT PURSUE REGIME CHANGE]

[….]

Who would have thought?

Some of the responses:

Its a new boogey man so we don’t have to fix out current problems at home.

Its going to be hard to convince even marginally informed voters the whole Venezuela situation isn’t about Oil. If this indeed becomes about Oil, will you resist further efforts in Venezuela Representative Eric Burlison?

We don’t get our drugs from Venezuela

So where do you get yours?🤔

are you asking me personally, LOL???

or are you asking for this country?? Most of our drugs come over land from Mexico or air. Not in little fishing boats over 1700 miles of ocean from Venezuela!

weed store.

Our goal should be Americans healthcare.

Sadly I think it’s a lot more about the regime change like normal!

Best way to undermine narco-regimes is legalize their product.

Seems hypocritical……We tolerate it from this administration…..so much so, you’re mad that military have been advised not to follow “illegal” orders….

So you are against the pardons of Russ Ulbricht and Juan Orlando Hernandez right?

Now do Pres “400 Tons” Hernandez. While youre at it, how ‘bout CZ of crypto dark-web fame?

I don’t want Iraq 2.0 and this seems like pointless escalation so he has something else in the headlines. Are you cool with risking the lives of our soldiers so Trump can get different headlines?

Has to be the weakest, least-known, least effective, most bullyable member of Congress. Too lazy to deliver a single thing to the district but also so gross-looking he can’t find his way to a friendly Fox News interview.

“…Man, that’s just mean. That’s mean, man….”

Since the 80’s we have been fighting this. Why don’t you just admit it’s about the oil and stop trying to say it’s about drugs to get political support. If it was about the drugs you leader wouldn’t have pardon the x president of Honduras who said he would shove drugs up Americans Noses.

So we shouldn’t pardon drug traffickers? Better tell the MAGA master before he lets anyone else out of prison.

Killing shipwrecked sailors is a war crime. Period. Ask the veterans on your staff. They will tell you. SO stop this bullhockey and face the facts….. there must be some hot stuff on those epstein tapes. Everything else is a manufactured distraction and you, as congress, aint’ doing squat. Susie Wiles says Trump doesn’t need congressional approval.

I agree. So why are you tolerating criminal activity in the White House? Why are you allowing the executive branch to function as judge and jury with no due process or rule of law, indeed, in direct violation of international law? Why are you supporting violations of the constitution in direct violation of the oath you took to uphold the constitution? Explain yourself, Eric. How are you not a co-conspirator in these crimes?

Btw, this administration campaigned on no new wars, and this administration seems to be pushing that line. We want no new wars. And Congress declares war, but you were sent home by an incompetent Speaker and can’t declare anything. So if 47 declares war to detract from the release of the Epstein files you need to uphold your oath to protect our Constitution. The drama and chaos never end. Congress is sent home but gets paid. Make it make sense.

You’re asking Eric Burlison (r).

Translation: “Venezuela’s government ripped off my rich friends and now I need the middle and lower classes to go retrieve the oligarchys money.”

Meanwhile Americans can’t afford healthcare, housing, insurance, daycare

It’s the oil, isn’t it. Went from “Drill baby drill” to “Kill baby kill.”

Trump just wants to steal Venezuela’s Oil asshole
[….]

And yet, you support a convicted felon.

Don’t think, you clearly suck at it.
These attacks will do nothing to change anything.
A simple road trip through rural Missouri will show you plenty of drugs are already there. And nothing is being done about it.

You must have missed the secret meeting where Trump reprogrammed all of you to support his war in Venezuela.
Now he’s admitting he wants the oil.

The criminal activity is you pretending to be a congressman who cares about the people.

You’ll say whatever Trump tells you to say.

Every fascist needs a scapegoat.
