So when can you start

Nobody puts @georgetakei.bsky.social in a corner

With this regime anything is possible…

If we can capture another country's president, can another country come and capture ours? Asking for a friend.

Meanwhile Stephen Miller’s wife is posting stuff like this

To all of you who thought, "What could go wrong electing a stupid, immature, vulgar, child rapist with advanced dementia and no impulse control as our president?": I don't like to say, "I told you so," but I'm willing to enthusiastically make an exception.

(Semafor) - The New York Times and Washington Post learned of a secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin Friday night — but held off publishing what they knew to avoid endangering US troops .. @semafor.com www.semafor.com/article/01/0...

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

The indictment doesn’t mention oil or fentanyl. Just cocaine. (After he just pardoned the president of Honduras)

Insider trading on war crimes seems like peak criminality.

I think most would agree that Iraq was an unmitigated disaster. That said, a LOT of thought was put into it. So I wonder, what % of the thought that went into Iraq went into Venezuela? 8%?

😭

This is how you do it. No preamble to swear to God you don't like Maduro.

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up. But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

Rep. @sethmoulton.bsky.social : "Is anyone going to just stop for a second and be honest? This is insane. What the hell are we doing? We've got a lot of problems in America today, and invading, occupying, running Venezuela does not solve any of them."

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country? There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world. This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

Zelensky on Venezuela: “About Venezuela? How should I respond to that? Well, what can I say? If… If it is possible to act with dictators like this, it means the United States knows what to do next. Thank you” Omg I love it.

Where’s Congress?

So does this open up the possibility that a foreign power will unilaterally bomb us and take OUR president? Asking for a nation.

Trump gave former Honduran president Hernandez a full and complete pardon for trafficking 400 TONS OF COCAINE into the US!! So kidnapping Maduro IS NOT BECAUSE TRUMP CARES ABOUT DRUG TRAFFICKING! It’s about Trump and his billionaires making money from Venezuelan oil!

For those who don’t believe that there is reason enough to vote Democrat in the midterm elections.

They really bombed Venezuela before releasing the Epstein files.

The thing about Venezuela is that we need to see the Epstein Files.

Stop calling it war. These are terrorist attacks being committed by the US government. Every foreign nation should be lining up sanctions.

So many strikes. So little time.

See, I'm not interested in seeing the leader of another country held accountable for legitimate crimes...until I see the leader of THIS country held accountable for legitimate crimes. I'm funny like that.

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

It’s time for the world to Boycott, Divest and Sanction the U.S Avoid the Olympics, World Cup and other sporting events. There’s no reason to celebrate the 250 birthday of this fallen nation

Three weeks ago. 🤡 @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2025/12/16/p...

Tulsi Gabbard in 2019: "The United States needs to keep our hands off Venezuela... end these destructive and wasteful regime change wars... proven to cause more problems, increase suffering, increase instability for the people in the countries where we wage these wars. In Latin America especially".

You were saying?

“A dark moment.”

What the United States did in Venezuela is prohibited under international law, which bars the use of force as an instrument of national policy.

If Xi Jinping invaded Taiwan right now, and toppled the president there, on what grounds would the United States object? Or have any credibility to say anything?

MAGA has always been THE SWAMP....

If Nicolás Maduro stands trial in the United States and gets convicted of 34 felonies, does that mean he’s qualified to be our next president now? Just checking what the standards are these days.

Either [the fat, stupid rapist-felon] spent nearly two decades around Jeffrey Epstein and failed to notice what Epstein was doing, or he noticed and he chose not to say anything. Those are kind of the options... Neither one reflects intelligence. They reflect failings of character -- David Pakman
