btw they are still blowing up fishermen off Venezuela even as recently as last week

(spoiler) you know that scene in 1971 THX1138 where the only reason they end the pursuit is because of excessive cost overruning the budget?

apparently US military has no such limits

Trillions in weapons? No problem just take it from food and healthcare

or that only Congress can declare/fund war

If there isn't a price for this behavior, future Presidents will make this pale in compareison

Independent experts, including CSIS, pretty widely agree that the drug cartels are operating in those waters. [1]

What evidence is there that these are fishermen, who apparently need speedboats for some reason? These must be some fast-moving fish!

You've also got the Dominican Republic recovering massive hauls of cocaine from these 'fishermen', again, in speedboats, not fishing vessels. [2]

Instead of invading a neighbor who never did us any harm why not attack the scammers who attack Americans all day every day? I’m sure the intelligence agencies could track down the ringleaders. Indict them, heck I wouldn’t even be mad about a little extra-judicial killing if you targeted the lead scammers.
Doesn't congress still have the power of the purse?
I would ask why they can't focus on one thing at a time and reach a conclusion of the Epstein war, but that would require openly admitting defeat. Plus these arsonists really just want to start as many fires as possible, as seeing the world burn makes these sick people feel perversely powerful. Then when Democrats step in as adults to actually try and fix the damage, the next crop of arsonists will hamstring them and go back to dishonestly invoking lofty ideals like fiscal responsibility / the Constitution / American strength / basic competence, etc.
