Using your military to attack or invade another country because you don't like it's government is not just "meddling" or onerous, it's a violation of international law.

And while Democrats should make it clear that no military action in Venezuela would be acceptable without the Congressional authorization the U.S. Constitution demands, it is essential to point out that even such approval would not make a military assault permissible, legal under international norms, or -- importantly -- the right thing to do.

Fearful Democrats and the False Allure of Policy Centrism

"Nobody understands this better than Republicans, who manage to regularly win elections with a spectacularly unpopular policy agenda of tax cuts for the wealthy, outlawing abortion, taking health coverage from millions of people, and exacerbating climate change.

Fearful Democrats and the False Allure of Policy Centrism

In an era of hyper-partisanship, going moderate may not be a winning strategy.. ancy Pelosi is worried about 2020. As, of course, is every Democrat, but Pelosi has an analysis of the challenge the party faces that is striking in how tentative it sounds, even frightened. Here's what she told The New....

WASHINGTON — Speaker Nancy Pelosi does not believe President Trump can be removed through impeachment — the only way to do it, she said this week, is to defeat him in 2020 by a margin so “big” he cannot challenge the legitimacy of a Democratic victory."

" Speaker 's dream will be true if Bernie will be nominated by fraud D N C . Without Bernie there is none to beat Trump . Speaker said for a big margin result against Trump . Is it possible by any corrupted corporate demo against Trump by a big margin ? Will it be possible by a perverted addicted sick candidate ? Totally D.N.C have no way . Speaker Nancy Pelosi should endorse for Bernie for the next . If she wants a big marginal victory . But her class character will do for perverted Biden or any one else of corrupted corporate demo without Bernie .

How much sick she is that she does not want to make hearing on single payer health for all. Does it not mean that she is against live supporting issue for the many ? Does it not meant that she is cruel by nature due to the part of a corporate demo. How much difference with GOP & with her ? This is their rotten & corrupted practice for the few from beginning to till now due to only money . At the end of the day her dream will not be true in any time of future with her corrupted corporate demo candidate Without Bernie . Bernie should be nominated . Pelosi should endorse for Bernie to make her dream true . " Md Maniruzzaman .https://www.nytimes.com/.../us/politics/nancy-pelosi.html...
