As everybody knows, over the weekend President Trump made another announcement that had the Democrats proving what their "priorities" are, and this time it was about the arrest of Nicolas Maduro and his wife in Venezuela:
"Last night and early today, at my direction, the United States armed forces conducted an extraordinary military operation in the capital of Venezuela. … It was an operation against a heavily fortified military fortress in the heart of Caracas to bring outlaw dictator Nicolás Maduro to justice," Trump said during a midday news conference from his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida.
The president added that both Maduro and his also-captured wife, Cilia Flores de Maduro, will now face criminal court proceedings tied to a 2020 indictment from the U.S. Department of Justice on multiple federal charges, including narco-terrorism and drug trafficking.
The previous administration had a $25 million reward in place for the arrest of Maduro, but guess what the Democrats have decided to pretend never existed now that Trump has successfully had him arrested.
Joining the lefties in being triggered by the latest thing the president has done (which is the Dems' default position -- Trump could say the sun rises in the east and they'd add that as an impeachment charge) is Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass:
The Administration’s reckless decision to strike Venezuela to remove Nicolás Maduro risks chaos, violence, and entrenching the United States in a conflict that the American people did not ask for.

Los Angeles will continue to stand for peace, democracy, and diplomacy.
That was a thing of beauty.
Not Bass' post, but two other things:

Bass is off to an early lead for 2026's "Ratio of the Year" accolade.
LOL! He actually did it. He actually made you people defend a dictator. 🤣

Trump's made Democrats defend dictators, criminal illegal aliens, drug runners for the cartels and come out against enforcing laws on the streets of U.S. cities.
As it turns out, Bass has a history of warmly remembering communists:
Sit this one out. You’re a communist sympathizer who admitted to being part of a radical group that trained American militants in Communist Cuba. pic.twitter.com/1nAeBZ8PP2

Leftists really get upset when their fellow travelers are removed from power, no matter which country they're in.

Bass should really worry more about running her own city, but that won't happen -- TDS demands otherwise.
