It doesn’t matter how reasonable or common sense something he does might be - liberals MUST oppose it. So they get forced into taking up these ridiculous oppositional arguments, get boxed in, and look really stupid.

It’s genius.  [/quote]
It’s even more hilarious that Trump has forced conservatives to defend literal murders.

Trump personally orders the killing of dozens of people? Well, it must be okay because daddy Trump asked for it, right? Sure, he refuses to offer any evidence to justify the act, but that only means it must be super secret classified info, right?

Do you know how you look to the rest of the world? It’s not even that you’re defending Trump. It’s that your defense is “haha, he’s trolling the libs by killing people. Har har har!”  WTF is wrong with you?[/quote]

To their credit, some Republicans aren't taking the bait. Rand Paul has called them extrajudicial killings, Lankford has also spoken out which was linked further up the thread, Murkowski voted for the War Powers resolution.

I think Paul sees the issue most clearly. He said "The American people do not want to be dragged into endless war with Venezuela without public debate or a vote. We ought to defend what the Constitution demands: deliberation before war." That's ultimately what the stakes are here. Drugs are a red herring. Trump wants to provoke a war with Venezuela. You don't need to be a liberal or care about drug dealers to question that.[/quote]

Rand Paul is literally named after Ayn Rand.  He is dynastically a libertarian, like his father.  You will find a reference to the Constitution in nearly every statement he makes.

He will also oppose any overseas military intervention, no matter which party initiates it, because he believes U.S. military power may only be used for the direct defense of U.S. soil. [/quote]

+1.

The Paul family would have voted to keep the United States out of WW I and WW II, and would have characterized the Holocaust as “not our problem.”[/quote]

We're already at the "this is like World War II" stage of consent manufacturing? You're going to get so many American kids killed.[/quote]
