If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time? Really American FB

For those who missed it, the federal government is trying to obtain the personal information of every person in the US to build a probably illegal set of voting rolls. Supposedly this is to root out undocumented people registered to vote. I am thinking it's as likely to be used to find Dem voters.

He did it lawfully and targeted actual terrorist groups. (bad intel witholding) The same groups trump has been inviting to the white house and let take over Afghanistan. Ive still yet to hear the exact reason why trump freed over 5000 taliban for free and nothing in return.

But Obama wasn’t trying to distract us from a growing police state; child sex crimes; pardon selling; multi-billion dollar crypto scams; and the destruction of 40% of the White House while simultaneously gargling Putin’s balls and enriching his family to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.

This is also distracting from the unedited and unredacted Epstein Files.

Hakeem Jeffries talking in inarticulate circles on the Last Word tonight clearly demonstrates the need for new Dem leadership. We have the bench strength in the party to do so much better. We need strong messaging, a compelling plan and leaders able to inspire.

youtu.be/XlNGpY-uL1Q?... THIS 👇👇👇👇Excellent conversation!!

As expected, the first CBS News(max) night with Tony Dokoupil under Bari Weiss was a debacle

Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured. Trump then pardoned the attackers. He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.

If you have to remind people “we are the good guys” that’s a pretty good sign you’ve stopped doing good guy stuff

My friend @charlotteclymer.bsky.social has written about Mark Kelly’s distinguished military career. This is not to be missed. open.substack.com/pub/charlott...

I think the Greenland threat is a troll. I think. But it would sure be nice for some senators and GOP house members to speak up now and make it clear that an attack on a nato ally would lead to removal from office

🚨BREAKING: DOJ admits it has only released 12,285 documents required by Epstein Files Transparency Act. More than 2 million documents still need to be reviewed/released. DOJ is in violation of federal law that required release by Dec. 19. More from Democracy Docket in am. www.democracydocket.com

This is Ollie. He found a perfectly placed carrot snack on his walk. Simply can't believe his luck. 13/10 best day ever (TT: maxime_aries)

All I ever heard from the free market boot lickers is that private business can do what it wants. Don't wanna bake a gay wedding cake? Don't wanna sell your sevices to the gestapo?

“No room at the Inn” is a biblical reference about immigrants (Jesus’ parents) being turned away. Not the government. Way to go, Hilton! The 3rd Amendment protects private entities from having to house the government.

😏 I hope you feel better after unburdening that shocking revelation! 😉-😎 There needs to be some rallies & other events besides bitching at one another here.

I wonder what could go wrong ?🤔 www.earth.com/news/ai-can-...

You cannot march into a country & expect to be welcomed. Vietnam was a grand example. Nearly subsistence farmers didn’t care, especially after a lot of the soldiers who walk into your village mistreat you. Trump cannot offer Venezuelans anything the people want. He simply wants the oil.

Pretty close to the mark. How can a country that was the envy of many in the world wind up a pariah in just a few years? Is Venezuela “our” Poland? Or is that yet to come?

Captain bone spurs wants us to not be aware of that FACT!

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

Yeah, so I think more Republicans need to be asked why Trump ordering his rape baby to be drowned in Lake Michigan isn't a red line for them, if anyone would like to help out with that while Tim Walz is taking the hit for the latest Epstein distraction in Minnesota

The entirety of the Epstein files must be a doozy

Too many people still oblivious…https://www.threads.com/@margo_christine/post/DTIevY1DSoC?xmt=AQF09kKShjmrJR8Pr_Y7fnX_QuHWVpyU4opsskprPmATXtWS69t2BaLFA-zTlLc9hksCfQbH

"Peace President." [Cartoon by Jesse Duquette]

💯

BASH: There's no question that Maduro was a destabilizing force in the region. People are celebrating in the streets all over. Is it fair to say there's some benefit in him not being in power? CHRIS MURPHY: What changes? You just heard Sen. Cotton not be able to explain who's running the country

Himes: "I was delighted to hear that Tom Cotton, chairmen of the Senate Intel Committee, has been in regular contact with the admin. I've had zero outreach and no D I'm aware of has. So apparently we're now in a world where the legal obligation to keep Congress informed only applies to your party."

JUST IN: Trump has said again that the "US needs Greenland." Danish Prime Minister has responded: "The Kingdom of Denmark — and thus Greenland — is a member of NATO and is therefore covered by the Alliance’s collective security guarantee."

Just like he watched the insurrection on January 6th This Unlawful Act No Congressional Approval Who ?...next ...Invade Greenland...Mexico...try to annex Canada ? Maduro is not a good guy but the world is watching... This is an illegal war

4 days ago the video and transcript of the Jack Smith Deposition was finally made public. It’s long but a must watch. Short clip below but the full video is here: youtu.be/lR-bhPzQYUE?...

Fear has become one of the most powerful forces in American politics. From GOP messaging to Democratic strategy, it’s shaping how voters are mobilized, how enemies are defined, and why our politics feels permanently on edge.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Trump said the US is going to 'run Venezuela.' Under what legal authority? RUBIO: We want a better future for the people of Venezuela STEPHANOPOULOS: I'll ask again -- what is the legal authority? RUBIO: We have court orders

Invading a country is work. The lazy pigs of the Republican Party have no interest in work. The poor souls in Venezuela are about to starve to death in numbers not seen to date. As the oil industry in Texas swoons. The rest of us saw this war coming. Our elected officials didn't try to stop it!

Yep, just coincidences...🙄

Trump Says the U.S. “Needs” Greenland—Europe Should Take Him at His Word My latest...

Unconstitutional force. Civilians dead. Congress bypassed. Oil interests front and center. We’ve seen this movie before and it ends in blood. But we don’t have to do it again.

😕

This new war is not only illegal, reckless and deeply corrupt, it is the latest in a series of increasingly desperate distractions from the EPSTEIN Files. #ImpeachAndConvict47NOW

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.

It’s the oil. zeteo.com/p/venezuela-...
