Had to look it up as I didn’t believe it. This is a real tweet. JFC these people are going to burn down the world lol.

An immensely tired & uninformed take. Canada currently: - exports >4x Venezuelan crude shipments - that supply is linked to American refineries by pipelines that travel one direction (south) - no one is rushing into Venezuela to roll the dice *again* on whoever replaces Maduro

wow he really does suck

Incredibly pathetic

Seizing control of a foreign country without even informing, let alone getting authorization from, Congress is one of the gravest offenses against the Constitution. Maduro was a horrific dictator. It’s irrelevant. Our own dictator claims power to levy taxes, spend funds, and wage war single-handed.

Our fearless national defense complex wheeling out the big counterintelligence guns: X.

lol Schumer's response is literally to say this is a distraction from grocery prices. Beyond parody man.

I'd be genuinely torn in a theoretical election between Hakeem Jefferies and Thomas Massie. Fuck the democratic party

Trump just announces the US will be running Venezuela now, until the can do a "safe, proper, and judicious" transfer of power. Announcing an occupation before you've occupied a country is a new one.

I swear to god, a kid I went to high school with who was posting the “Harris will send me to war” memes reposted this with “we’re so back”

A mobile SCIF so secure they left the damn curtain open. 🤦‍♂️

Best thing I’ve read this morning, from a human rights lawyer in Mexico. Translation is in the ALT-text.

It appears to be getting dumber?

Uh *TRUMP SAYS US WILL 'RUN' VENEZUELA UNTIL TRANSITION POSSIBLE

good god this is even worse than i expected

All this corrupt, dark money, overall many billions if not more, will be used for decades to undermine democracy, ethical behavior/decency and the rule of law. All of it must be governmentally seized, otherwise expropriated or destroyed from them and their mischpochas.

<taps sign>

Look I know ot's beside the point but Putin does assert he has that right and has in fact tried to do that

So many high crimes and misdemeanors, I can't keep track.

Reminder: The US has refused to join the International Criminal Court because it argues extraterritorial justice is incompatible with national sovereignty and citizen's rights.

What's going to happen if anything happens is that an even worse regime with Rodriguez as the figurehead and Cabello or Padrino running things will get sanctions lifted so that US oil majors can be forced to lose a ton of money and Maduro goes to Dubai.

Just want to note that this is by all appearances part of his prepared remarks

We’re all owed an apology from rightwing and centrist scholars and pundits who assured us for decades that US war-starting would NEVER be motivated by oil.

The Trump admin has fused the war on terror with the war on drugs to create a framework for justifying its own acts everywhere from Chicago to Caracas. Remember the helicopter raid on a Chicago apartment building? A key rationale was to go after the Venezuelan TdA.* Same with Caracas raid.

Specifically, a protest song about how the sons of the rich were able to avoid fighting, like fighting-age Donald Trump who got four deferments for being in college and another for bone spurs.

🤔 I'm old enough to remember a few hours ago when this was supposedly about drugs.

It’s darkly humorous he can’t even muster the ability to give some lip service to democracy or allowing the Venezuelan people to choose their leader.

Introducing our latest inductee into the BlueSky Ratio Hall of Fame …

And there it is. We usurp a nation’s sovereignty to take over their natural resources. Shame on us. We have an utterly corrupt, dangerous, lawless madman in the White House. Shame on us.👇

Just outright here saying that this was a regime change and that he is going to install a puppet leader.

One thing we can agree on: The new Pentagon press corps is covering every angle of this story. I feel very informed by all the news it's breaking.

No, apparently you just have to have been the convicted former leader of Honduras to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States?

Gotta respect the fact that he doesn’t even try to hide it.

Im sure this will get every Venezuelan to vote Republican

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum condemns the US invasion of Venezuela and kidnapping of its president out of fear that the US may also violate Mexican sovereignty & Trump then tells Fox News that “something is gonna have to be done” about the Mexican President too.

Republican leaders were briefed. Democratic leaders were not. This is the Trump approach.

Is he spiking the football now? Presidents historically don't do that when they send our troops into harm's way.

"whether he had consulted Congress"

So much that's dumbfounding about this morning's news about abducting a foreign president but I'm focused on charging them with both Possession of Machineguns and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns. x.com/i/status/200...

Free advice to 2028 Dems...seize the bully pulpit on stuff like this and say you're gonna put a stop to it. Don't specify, let the media speculate on what you might mean. Just say the Nazi CSAM robot is gonna die.

FLASHBACK — BARI WEISS IN 2020: “Trump is dismantling moral guardrails that keep bigotry down… there’s a reason antisemites are drawn to his banner. It’s not a coincidence violence against Jews has gone up during his presidency.” Now she runs CBS News(max) to help him.

i keep telling you guys it's all about the interracial cuck porn and nobody believes me 50,000 likes btw

Now think about what this will look like during future elections. Nightmare fuel.

Paul Graham has been having a several months long “Are we the baddies?” moment on X. Here he concedes that people have had their fears come to pass when it comes to tech billionaires misusing their wealth to capture political power.

90 degrees on Jan 2 and there are still idiots who say climate change is a hoax

🔥NYT: “Trump is the Jan. 6th president… It was a turning point toward an even more lawless version of Trump… people who violently attacked Congress & beat officers escaped w/o lasting consequence… Tragically, 🇺🇸 is still living in that political era…” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/o...
