1. A blockade is an act of war 2. The idea that Venezuela has stolen land from the United States is so laughably stupid on its face that even some of his base is like 🤨 3. It’s always about oil.

Even at the beginning of WWII, U boats honored the law of the sea and picked survivors up. Later, a Uboat made it into a war crime and they were executed.

This. Also: 1. Our nuclear modernization started under Obama. 2. The only significant nuclear expansion under Trump was the low-yield W76 mod 2 submarine launched ballistic missile. 3. Testing nukes is fucking stupid. We don’t need to do it.

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation. This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

explains more cops doesn’t lower crime it just means more money for private prisons— Addressing poverty/hunger/health care lowers crime… but Trump’s trillions transfer just made all that MUCH WORSE… meaning crime will rise.

I don’t know why anyone is surprised by this. The most famous off-cycle redistricting was the Texas GOP in 2003. Dems left the state to prevent a quorum then, too. The GOP always uses the “rules for thee but not for me” playbook.

Vance is basically pretending to be supportive, but I’m fairly certain he’s working with Murdoch behind the scenes. The elites got everything they wanted from Trump, now it’s in their best interest to try and force him out. I don’t think it will work, but they seem to be going to try.

Our intelligence confirms this - we have intercepts of high level Iranian officials who are surprised that damage at the nuclear facilities wasn’t worse. Trump is going to refuse to admit the truth, which increases the chances that Iran is able to reconstitute their program.
