Congress worries U.S. strike on Venezuelan boat signals Trump's expanded war powers

Transcript

We look at the U.S. strike on a Venezuelan boat earlier this month, which has riled lawmakers, even Republican ones, who say the strike did not follow standard practices and policies.

AYESHA RASCOE, HOST:

Earlier this month, President Trump ordered a U.S. military strike on a boat in the Caribbean that administration officials suspected of smuggling a drug shipment from Venezuela. Venezuelan officials last week said none of those killed were gang members, but the administration insists the strike, which killed 11 people, was entirely legal. And the strike is dividing lawmakers, including members of Trump's own party. NPR congressional correspondent Claudia Grisales has more.

CLAUDIA GRISALES, BYLINE: South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham says the recent U.S. attack on a Venezuelan boat in the Caribbean has shifted the country's rules of engagement.

LINDSEY GRAHAM: We're considering narco-terrorist states to be military threats, not law enforcement threats.

GRISALES: The key ally of President Trump says the old days of drug interdiction are gone. Typically, the U.S. Coast Guard intercepts vessels at sea, confiscating illegal drugs and arresting suspects. Graham says the U.S. military strike was different, and it signals it's time for Venezuela to take heed.

GRAHAM: This is a boatload full of narco-terrorist gang members that were going to continue to poison America. So I'm OK.

GRISALES: President Trump said illegal drugs and members of the Tren de Aragua criminal gang on board presented an imminent threat. Like many members, Graham says he's also in the dark on exactly who was killed in the September 2 attack in international waters.

Have you gotten any confirmation that's who was on the boat?

GRAHAM: No.

GRISALES: But not everyone agrees. Republican Senator Rand Paul says the strike sets a dangerous precedent for the country. He's worried President Trump will now use force whenever he likes.

RAND PAUL: Is it going to be the new Coast Guard policy to shoot without asking questions?

GRISALES: That's the Kentucky Republican after a recent series of votes. Now Paul is the loudest GOP critic of the attack that's tested U.S. rules of engagement with its war on drugs.

PAUL: People need to ask the administration, is there a new policy? Was this a one-off?

GRISALES: Trump has defended the strike by saying the boat was headed for the States.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Venezuela's been very bad both in terms of drugs and sending some of the worst criminals anywhere in the world into our country.

GRISALES: But that's largely all members know. The administration has yet to share identities of those killed or legal justification for bypassing Congress for the strike, and that's helped fuel questions of whether it violated both domestic and international laws.

OONA HATHAWAY: It's really an extraordinary expansion of how the United States deals with these kinds of challenges.

GRISALES: That's Yale University law professor Oona Hathaway. She says the strike has an anti-legal nature because the boat's direct threat to the United States is not clear. The Constitution requires Congress to declare war before a strike unless there's an imminent threat where the president can take action.

HATHAWAY: Does this signal that there's going to be strikes on cartels - or supposed drug cartels - in Venezuela or in Mexico? Is it setting the stage for something more?

GRISALES: Hathaway says there's no evidence of a careful

Trump Says White House’s Lavish New Ballroom Will Be ‘a Little Bigger’ Than Original Plans, With Almost 40% More Guest Capacity

https://variety.com/2025/politics/news/trump-white-houses-ballroom-lit
tle-bigger-guest-capacity-1236517803
/

Trump is receiving so many "voluntary" donations to the project from the wealthy that the ballroom floor space is being enlarged. If you want favors from Trump, you have to donate. But it is all strictly "voluntary". Trump wouldn't force you to give but he would forget who you are if you don't contribute.

Maybe a skyscraper ballroom should be built. That way could consume almost unlimited "voluntary" contributions.

Wondering where 6ixStringJack got his obsession about murdering every Democrat?



I've never once said or even insinuated that I wanted to murder any Democrat, let alone every Democrat.

This is you once again projecting YOUR own evil onto other people.

I will ruin your life though. And if you continue to address me, maybe I'll make you wish that you were dead, perhaps.


And I told you to tell Ted to shut his yap. You did not heed my warning.

You can thank him for you both being reported tonight.

Good luck. You'll need it.


P.S. Here is the link to your very long list of calls for assassinations against Politicians, Judges and Civilians you don't agree with:

Have you wondered why you keep getting called a Nazi, without a single video showing a Heil Hitler salute to Trump? Look back what you have written since Trump arrived. It is one veiled death threat from you toward Democrats, day after day, year after year. Do you really think you can lie about the murder in your heart? You have a powerful motivation to hate successful people: your own failures in life. In Germany, the Nazis, feeling like failures, were constantly complaining about the Jews being the cause of all failures. Greedy Jewish bankers, Jews stealing the best jobs, Jews polluting German culture. If only Jews vanished from Germany, most problems would be solved. 6ixStringJack complains in same Nazi way, but about Democrats being the source of America's problems. You have done that thousands of times, 6ixStringJack.

I also have complaints. Trump is well documented to be a stupid, lazy, dishonest, non-taxpaying rapist who takes bribes. Why would Trumptards have problems with any of that since they are the same? I have proof from my local Trumptards. Their bad behavior is very compatible with Trump's. They sympathize with his personal difficulties because they have the same, just at a smaller scale: money problems, adultery problems, cheating at business problems, tax problems, career problems, etc.

Shove your complaints about Democrats up your ass, Nazi 6ixStringJack.

I already know why I get called a Nazi by you two. And make no mistake, it is ONLY by you two.

And there are two reasons for it...

REASON #1: You are both self-righteous bullies who get off on beating people down with personal insults while getting high sniffing each other's farts, and for the last 12 years you were both goaded into it and you were praised by the Legacy Media for doing it.

REASON #2: You are both little sissies hiding behind your handles that wouldn't dare say that to my face in real life. Period.

The same that could be said about you both could also be said about all the rest of you barely literate, heavily indoctrinated, headline-only-reading, terminally online, dopamine addicted, clickbait addict, Leftist cultist idiots lacking any ability for critical thinking or self-agency who feel as though they have a license to advocate for the death of anyone they disagree with at any point in time as many times as they feel like it, and then laugh when somebody finally gets shot at and/or killed.

And then when you finally get called on it and you realized that I was right all along and the entire world you knew died eight months ago, you start crying and begging like wounded little animals. You both are the textbook definition of pathetic. You are not men. You are both little bitches. MY little screen bitches.

Nobody in the country gives a single fuck what either of you think or say anymore. Those days were already sliding evermore quickly from your grasp, just as I told you they were before I even started this thread, but they ended on September 10th, 2025.

Full Stop.

And if you ever once spent five minutes outside of your MSNBC clickbait bubble and watched the real news with all the live video footage and without everything being presented out-of-context as a rule, you'd realize that nobody in the entire fucking world gives a single shit about your opinion right now either.

Even the South Koreans were out in the streets singing Charlie Kirk's name the other night.

Everything you thought you knew is false history, and the truth is coming out for everyone to see. And you are now an endangered species.

I would highly advise you to do a better job at protecting yourself going forward, because nobody else is going to do it for you anymore.


Meanwhile, here's an archived list of every time you called for somebody's assassination, along with murder fantasies you've had about other members here over the years:

http://fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?bid=18&tid=65116

I know you thought it was funny at the time, and you got a good laugh out of me making this list and even suggested I send it to the Secret Service on more than one occasion while not taking it seriously at all.

But you and I both know it's not so funny anymore, now don't we?



And when everybody else sees what you've been posting here over the years, everyone is going to know who the real Nazi here was all along.

It was you, it was you, it was you...

It was you, it was you, it was you...





Good luck. You'll need it.

6ix, if you want your father to really know his son, show him what you have been writing. He won't call you a Trump worshiping Nazi, but he might advise you to write less, work more and see a psychiatrist to overcome PTSD.

Better hurry with your father. The shock of seeing his son's guts displayed on the internet might kill him when he is older.

Trump: Starting the day I take the oath of office, I will rapidly drive prices down, and we will make America affordable again.

Krugman: In the campaign, the big promise by Donald Trump was that he was gonna bring down prices and make America affordable again, and everything he's done is the opposite of that.

Westin: Are you concerned about the long-term, permanent effects of what's happening right now, rather than just the ups and downs, the vicissitudes of an electoral system?

Krugman: What people don't, I think, fully realize is that on tariffs, almost everything Trump has done is probably illegal under U.S. law but definitely a violation of international agreements.

I was in the Reagan administration working on trade things, and there would be meetings in which some proposal would be floated, and the guy from the U.S. Trade Representative's office would say, "That would be GATT illegal,” General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, which binds this, and end of discussion. In the Reagan administration, if it was a violation of our international agreements, we didn't do it. This administration doesn't care. They don't even try to justify violating these agreements.

The Manhattan Institute points out that the combination of tax cuts and significant spending increases led to a substantial rise in deficits during the first Trump administration, especially relative to the size of the economy. The CRFB notes that Trump left office with the largest peacetime budget deficit in American history and a national debt exceeding 100% of the economy for the first time since World War II.

What about Trump's second administration?

Trump’s $30 trillion debt disaster

By David Stockman | Feb 11, 2025

https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/11/opinion/trump-30-trillion-added
-debt
/

During his first term in the Oval Office, Donald Trump added nearly $8 trillion to the national debt. That was more than 43 presidents had combined to accumulate during the first 216 years of the Republic.

In sum, candidate Trump tossed out proposals to cut federal income taxes for upward of 150 million filers at a 10-year cost of $12 trillion. Such relief would amount to about 32 percent of the country’s income tax revenue over that period, according to the Congressional Budget Office, and it would reduce total federal revenue collections from all sources to just $55 trillion.

Meanwhile, the CBO’s spending baseline totals about $89 trillion over the same 10-year period ending in fiscal 2035. So either Trump is looking to add a staggering $34 trillion to the nation’s already towering $36 trillion of existing debt or he means to slash spending by truly massive amounts.

Well, it’s obviously not the latter. The president has pledged to protect Social Security and Medicare and indicated he supports current veterans' benefits, which together account for nearly half, or $42 trillion, of CBO’s current spending baseline. Trump has also promised to increase spending for defense, security assistance to other countries, homeland security, law enforcement, and border control, which under current policy would amount to about $12 trillion over 10 years. And whether they acknowledge it or not, Trump administration staffers can’t cut net interest expense or legally protected military and civilian employee pensions, which will cost upward of $16 trillion over the next decade.

The problem, of course, is that these programs alone add up to $70 trillion, or nearly 80 percent of the CBO spending baseline. So even if the Trump administration massively slashed the rest of the federal government — including Health and Human Services, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the departments of Labor, Interior, Energy, and Transportation — the red ink would still total far more than $30 trillion through 2035.

Either way you cut it, this amounts to plunging into a paroxysm of fiscal madness. Yet the alternative routes often advocated by MAGA partisans — taking the ax to fraud and waste or spurring accelerated economic growth with tax cuts and deregulation — simply won’t make a dent in the Brobdingnagian magnitude of the nation’s debt spiral.

And I do mean massive. The CBO never says the quiet part out loud, but its current long-term outlook has the public debt hitting 166 percent of the country’s gross domestic product by mid-century. The quiet part it doesn’t publish is that 166 percent of GDP is equal to a stunning $150 trillion of public debt.

Needless to say, long before the debt hits this staggering figure, the whole financial system would implode. Every remnant of America as we know it would go down the tubes.

So as helpful as the Department of Government Efficiency campaign against waste and inefficiency might be, it is virtually irrelevant when it comes to staunching a public debt that is hurtling fast toward catastrophe.

I recently recommended a plan to the DOGE commission in my book “How to Cut $2 Trillion” that would save $85 billion per year in agency staff and overhead costs. But to get there, one would need to embrace a strict libertarian policy menu calling for the elimination

Trump starts construction on long-held dream: A White House ballroom

The project remain shrouded in secrecy and uncertainty. The White House has not released architectural plans for the building and has not submitted the project to the National Capital Planning Commission, the government body that reviews plans for changes to federal property in the capital region.

“The National Park Service takes great care to honor the historic landscape of the White House and President’s Park,” spokeswoman Jasmine Shanti said in an email.

“When feasible, trees are preserved and nurtured.” In reality, all White House trees are being chopped into firewood. Nothing is preserved or nurtured.
