Resistance Explained--Stoermer: Democrats say they can't do anything because Republicans control Congress. Is that true? [View all]

Can anyone at DU suggest a valid counterpoint to the arguments stated in the video regarding the state of Congressional resistance?

After all, the US has just this last weekend unlawfully invaded another country, unlawfully killed many in that country, and abducted the titular head of that state and his wife. Trump even said in his press conference that he had attacked Venezuela's "sovereignty": so, he even acknowledges his crime. Note that W and Cheney mostly contained the bravado and reasoning behind their invasion of Iraq even though W famously stated "Bring it on!" and flew his "Mission Accomplished" banner in the course of his "War on Terror". W and Cheney, to the best of my recollection, never explicitly stated they were going to Iraq to take its oil. However, Trump openly asserts that the oil in Venezuela is oil that belongs to the United States.

Both invasions have been unjustified and illegal aggressions against sovereign countries. If now is not the time for Democrats in Congress to resist all of this, when is that time?

[The Merrick Garland standard of sagging back into an easy chair and waiting for the right time to prosecute Trump for his insurrection clearly was not sufficient. Why does it seem like that is still the standard of resistance to which is aspired across the Democratic Party? I could be wrong about this, but which US Senator is actually resisting the Trump Admin's actions at every turn? Again though, is there a valid counterpoint to the position on resistance that is stated in the video?]
