They kidnapped his daughter?
They did kidnap two of the opposition leaders they had under house arrest last night and sent them back to prison unexpectedly.
The R's are going to invade to save Venezuela from the scourge of communism, it's coming, you can feel it
it will be renamed trumpsylvania

it's tailor made for Trump and Republicans to use as a distraction/bloodlust outlet:
it's in our backyard, it's weak, it's going Communist so you can milk that, and it's legit going into dictator mode so you can "justify" it, and it's a lot less sticky than this North Korea flirting
I like how Lindsay Graham casually floated the idea of starting a world war by preemptively wiping an entire country off the map, that was neat.
If the Dems can softpitch weed, the R's can softpitch genocide, it's only fair
I'm not saying we should blow up North Korea
im just saying that big, red, candy like button looks lonely and probably feels bad because it hasn't been pushed In a while
Serious question has anyone in Congress or a notable think thank floated the idea of a Venezuela invasion
Oh not as yet, though you must concede that military adventures to distract from domestic concerns are a party favorite. That, and that even if all 100 Senators we're publicly against it, that would not prevent the White House from doing so.

I am less suggesting this as a likely scenario and more of an example of how stupid this could get.

Actually Congress being against something is more likely to encourage this WH than anything, come to think of it.
Which are you thinking of here? Iraqi-Afghanistan was stupid but I can't imagine what domestic concern it's supposed to distract from, same Gulf War - Grenada? Cambodia was leaked to the public, not publicised, unless you mean a general idea of maintaining Vietnam as an overall conflict.
Democrats also did it.
Democrats hold which branch of the US government that would make them relevant?
It would be more precise to say that R's are very fond of using foreign shenanigans to ACHIEVE domestic policy. Bush's rampaging through the middle east was a useful cover for mass-deregulation, tax cuts, civil rights erosion, etc. Trump seems to be entertaining using Korea as a distraction, though for those purposes I think they'd be "smarter" to use Venezuela. Nixon literally extended Vietnam through backchannel negotiations to win an election. Reagan has long been suspected of doing the same with the hostage crisis.
It's also just an ancient tactic in general, ignoring the American context completely.
Oh, maybe not at present. But I feel it's a bit disingenuous to present something as a "party favourite" when it's been employed by basically every modern American president.

Scientists PLAY GOD

What is it about Stephen Miller that makes him so viscerally unappealing to the senses, I really must know. Figuring this out could chart whole new fields of science.
Stephen Miller is proof there is no Reptilian conspiracy because there's no way one could be so bad at disguising itself.
iirc in high school Miller was very mad that the Jewish kids and gay kids got to have clubs

- - - Updated - - -Wednesday, August 02, 2017The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 38% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Sixty-two percent (62%) disapprove.
The latest figures for Trump include 25% who Strongly Approve of the way Trump is performing and 50% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -25. (see trends).
white nationalists literally attacking the statue of liberty is my new big favorite
