some men would rather order a coup than go to therapy

Many Venezuelan-Americans were initially euphoric thinking Trump was liberating Venezuela from Maduro. Now, especially with Trump unceremoniously kicking Machado to the curb, they realize he only intended to liberate them from their assets and resources.

holy shit this game. if i actually cared who won i'd be losing my goddamned MIND.

oh shit tomorrow is circle back day already

Some journalists get into it because they want to hold powerful people to account, while others just want powerful people to take their phone calls.

once they master cause and effect we’ll work on object permanence

Imagine being the person brave enough to leak this in the hopes that media attention could stop it and then the media just……buries it.

They gentrified the tinfoil hat

they so desperately wanted their “killing of bin laden” photo and instead i just see a bunch of terminally online dopes gazing at their own reflection on X

the main thing to know about the maduro arrest is there are hundreds of thousands of epstein files we still haven’t seen

Not enough has been written about Schrödinger’s assistant, Otto.

Welcome to capex-by-blackmail. “.. They’re saying, ‘you gotta go in if you want to play and get reimbursed,’” said one industry official .. “But the infrastructure .. is so dilapidated that no one .. can adequately assess what is needed to make it operable.” #OOTT www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

weird how much power mitch mcconnell had when he had no power

Buddy, hope left the building, went to lunch, had 4 margaritas and a bloody mary, got into a fight with the server, was tossed through a window, severed an artery, had its leg amputated, spent three nights in ICU, got divorced, defaulted on the mortgage, and is living in a van down by the river

Reminder: In November, we can flip over 650 state legislative seats across the country – helping us secure multiple new majorities and trifectas – including in battlegrounds like Arizona, Michigan, New Hampshire, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.

It's January 3rd and we already have a top contender for skeet of the year. It has everything: the Fed up newscaster, the slamming of papers, the timing with the jingle, and a concise caption that acknowledges a universal mood. Everything comes together in perfect harmony.

there is no constituency that needs you to fall all over yourself to call Maduro illegitimate before you dare criticize Trump. Voters have been down this road before. No one thought Saddam Hussein was a nice guy. Criticism of Maduro at this stage correctly reads as a defense of Trump to most people.

hey folks, lotta anger and hurt out there today. please take time to remember that Joe Rogan didn’t vote for this.

oh no not “troubled” what’s next furrowed brows the horror the horror

magnetic poetry-ass name

Man, fucking grateful this dude has not had the stomach for nukes to date. The most disturbing thing from the first term were generals saying haha remember to check with me first if you get any funny sounding orders!

as always, follow the money

VP Delcy Rodriguez, whom Trump indicated earlier today was collaborating with the US government, is live on television right now. Earlier reports that she's in Russia are false. She's in Caracas with the rest of the cabinet. Rodriguez: "We will never again be a colony for any empire"

Unclear why they’re at the Marriott lobby check in for a pyramid scheme talk but ok

NYT is reporting she appeared on Venezuelan TV, denounced the U.S. “invasion”, and insists that Maduro is still the country’s president.

Whoever you are in the coming days, don’t be this man, who has not learned a single fucking thing over the past year.

this guy launched a coup from his country club but you’re not allowed to work from home

you simply do not have to preface your statements about this with “but Maduro sucks” whether or not Maduro sucks is entirely beside the point - we invaded another country and grabbed their leader with no justification other than “we wanted to” don’t give them cover on it

Important thread about all the fake videos and disinformation about the invasion of Venezuela.

Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

At this point there is enough material for five doctoral dissertations on how these guys willfully misinterpret music

So it's appropriate to arrest a world leader if you consider them criminal? You can just go get them? Just asking questions here.

concepts of a coup

What just happened in Venezuela is Putin’s existential nightmare. Not that Trump would try it in Russia (?) but it very provocative for him to say this in light of the context given Putin’s paranoid worldview

for fuck’s sake can someone give these stunted chodes some little green army men and a few toy trucks that go vroom-vroom and let them work out their issues that way instead of whatever this is

me every single day

Lmfao she really hates him. I was sort of convinced that their whole beef was kayfabe but nah she wants blood lol

We're going to "run" a country bigger than Texas and with almost 30 million people by popping a handful of SAM sites and sending in a few dozen JSOC roidbros, I guess. Seriously, the US has nowhere near the massive number of troops deployed that it'd take to actually invade and occupy Venezuela.

having trouble sleeping? ask your doctor if a coup is right for you

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

with all of the stories about the rise of solar energy we’ve seen in the last few months it kind of feels like America is doing regime change in order to secure the rights to billions of dollars in blockbuster gift cards

Saving this screenshot from Threads as a new reaction image

Cancer research costs too much but we have the money to run Venezuela

trump: “no see we HAVE to blow up those boats in the caribbean, they could be carrying drugs!” also trump:

Rubio has confirmed (via BBC) Maduro will stand trial in the U.S. Fucking hell, call your reps.

it's time to play America's favorite new game, 'what the fuck am I waking up to now'

⚠️ The Vice President of Venezuela has spoken by phone to a Venezuelan television news channel. She confirmed that Venezuelan President Maduro’s whereabouts are unknown, demanded proof of life for Maduro from Trump, and called the people of Venezuela to the streets.

“I just don’t understand why I can’t sleep” she said while staring at the little glowing box of doom in her hand
