if US and Venezuela were at war

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller reportedly told White House officials that the Trump administration could expedite deportations through the 18th-century Alien Enemies Act if the U.S. and Venezuela were at war, according to a new report.

The revelation is part of a broader report published by The New York Times about Miller and Secretary of State Marco Rubio's leading role in the administration's escalating military campaign against regional cartels and, more specifically, the Nicolas Maduro regime in Venezuela.

1. a war must be declared by congress

they have been assembling this "armada" for months. get squeeky Johnson back to work and declare war.

[no_hypocrisy]

4. Trump could get around declaring a war by calling it a

"military police action" like Shrub did for Iraq.

6. but that would not trigger the alien sedition act. n/t

16. Which would require an understanding of, as well as a duty to obey, said rules regarding said act.

And we all know that they don't care about rules, except when they want to punish someone else.

18. somebody has given a lot of thought to this project

it needs to have its plug pulled.

2. On a side note:

3. We know Miller is running these things. And he's such an in your face racist.

5. Miller's hatred of Latinos is truly pathological

We know Trump's father was a monster and his mother didn't love him or show him affection, but what the hell is Steven Miller's damage? From where does all his hatred stem?

7. The internet says he asked a latina girl on a date in high school, and she said no.

So, once again, ALL THIS is about a loser couldn't get his dick wet.

8. Unfortunately...

That phrase is an acceptable description of most of history.

9. What If Venezuela Had Nukes?

This regime may yet blunder into WWIII if they pick a fight with a nuclear armed country just to appear to be tough guys. By these actions they are signaling to the world that they must be well armed to fend off American aggression. And what if all the threatened Latin American nations formed a NATO-like alliance with China? They are heating up a possible new cold war in our hemisphere.

10. this is beyond sick.

let's throw a war so we can throw more people out of the country.

he's insane. it is insane that he has this kind of power.

[Initech]

11. Stephen Miller is truly, deeply, beyond fucked in the head.

This man is mentally disturbed and deranged. He needs to see the inside of a padded cell for the rest of his days.

[JustAnotherGen]

12. He wants the country

To be entirely white. It's that simple.

Only problem for Miller?

I was here first. I'm not taking this shit from some sniveling little asshole upstart whose family wasn't even here for manifest destiny. He's in my way.

[Coldwater]

14. Who's going to give him the bad news

[JustAnotherGen]

17. No one

Ever told Hitler this either.

15. Hear Hear! (n/t)

13. Pee wee German

19. Time to post

The spray on hair again.

[Jacson6]

20. Congress would have to declare a war. They haven't since WWII. N/T

[the nelm]

21. So Miller's a lawyer now?? n/t

22. The one thing I'm absolutely sure of is that no one in Trump's camp is serious about legalities.

They aren't interested in the law. They just pull pseudo law out of their ass and in the end, suffer great legal consequences once the smoke clears. But not before they put this country through the wringer.
