When I invade Venezuela and the number one trending topic is still "Epstein Files"

Mike Johnson refuses to dedicate plaque to Jan 6 officers

The invasion of Venezuela has nothing to do with American security. Venezuela is not a security threat to the U.S.. This is about making Trump's oil industry and Wall Street friends rich. Trump's foreign policy - the Middle East, Russia, Venezuela - is fundamentally corrupt.

Read it again #DicKtatorTrump is not interested in democracy Everything is about money & power He will do anything to distract & commit as many awful & illegal crimes as he can knowing #CorruptSCOTUS has given him a free pass Add #GOPTraitors & MSM Cowardice & here we are WHO WILL STOP HIM?

This situation is precisely why we have impeachment

LOL

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."

I bet all the Republicans knew. I bet he told them all. And they stayed quiet and subservient. No honor among thieves.

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

Thought for the Morning: 6 traitors on the Supreme Court made this possible. He thinks (knows) he can do whatever he wants to. Unrestrained by laws and the Constitution he swore to uphold. 6 people set this into motion and all the Republicans fell in line to let it happen. Don’t forget.Never forget

The conversation on Threads

Props to @repdangoldman.bsky.social for stating this plainly: "This violation of the United States Constitution is an impeachable offense."

He’s using Venezuela as a distraction so we’ll forget about the Epstein files. Joke’s on him. We can multitask. Release the Epstein files.

Ryan: This is clearly us starting another forever war—which the American people do not support. Trump is just straight up admitting this is a war for oil, and that he is willing to send our blood and treasure, to “run Venezuela,” whatever the hell that means, with no plan.

Seems to me like we should all keep our foot on the gas… he will try to distract us,but those Files must be worse than horrifying. Keep forcing this. This human pustule will finally burst and we can work on removing this cancer. All democratic nations of the world should join us anyway they can…🙏🏼

Gotta say, the moderate position here is impeachment and removal and the moderates seem like they're on board.

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

If the U.S. is going to use military force to invade foreign countries and capture leaders accused or guilty of crimes, then there is nothing to stop foreign powers from invading the U.S. and arresting and removing felon Donald Trump.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

NYT: At least 40 people were killed in the US attack on Venezuela, including military personnel and civilians.

Chairman JCOS: “Months of planning…” soooo not an imminent threat justifying self-defense

🤷‍♂️

When America abdicates its role as a defender of freedom and becomes the oppressor, it emboldens dictators everywhere. We are about to learn some hard lessons. One being how instrumental we used to be at preventing the world from descending into madness.

This is what happens when you elect the rapist-felon and not the district attorney. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-could-h...

Ah, the fucking hypocrisy.

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

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

I'm losing track of how many countries a man livid he wasn't given the Nobel Peace Prize has illegally bombed. Iran. Venezuela. Nigeria. Afghanistan. Iraq. Libya. Pakistan. Somalia. Syria. Yemen. Not to mention threatening to annex Greenland and Canada and invade Panama.

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?

This is a good idea! Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) said, “If the governor has the ability to issue driver’s licenses to people in California, if you’re going to wear a mask and not identify yourself, you’re not going to be eligible to drive a vehicle in California.”

🚨BREAKING: A pro-democracy organization has filed two formal complaints asking federal watchdogs to look into potential illegal actions and partisanship inside the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, an independent federal agency tasked with helping states administer elections.

Here's what investors should know. In 2025, Felon Stain broke w/ decades of trade-policy precedent & imposed sweeping tariffs that raised the average tax on U.S. imports to 16.8%, the highest level since 1935, per the Budget Lab at Yale. 3/

Thought for the Day: Be kind. Show compassion and empathy for others. If everyone did this, what a much better place this would be. Kindness is free. A smile, a helping hand, understanding people are going through tough times. This used to be the norm. Let’s make it so again.🙏🏼❤️

They didn't just freeze child care payments to Minnesota because of their fraudulent "fraud" video. They froze them to *every state*. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

When the House returns next week, the GOP’s already razor-thin majority will immediately shrink. Marjorie Taylor Greene is leaving Congress on January 5. Mike Johnson’s majority will then be 219-213, just a two-vote cushion — remember that tie House votes fail.

Given how often he posts about this, it seems less like reassurance for others and more like he’s trying to convince himself that he passed the cognitive exam.

Gill on Epstein Files: I reached out to sources and they say that not only did New York send over everything they had in March, but that the entire review process—using roughly a thousand analysts from the FBI’s Information Management Division—was specifically to review the files from New York

Literally, the regime is attempting to murder most of us.

A clip that has not lost its relevance

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Mamdani: "While only action can change minds, I promise you this: If you are a New Yorker, I am your mayor. Regardless of whether we agree I will protect you, celebrate with you, mourn along side you, and not for a second hide from you."

#Trump And the corruption keeps piling higher.
