... something is going to have to be done about Mexico. JFC.

I still am sore about people who chose to opt out of the 2024 election because a decades-long conflict was more important than the stability of their own country. They say “secure your oxygen mask first before helping others” on a plane for a reason.

Congratulations to all the folks that said HRC and KDH were going to start endless wars and didn’t vote for them. 🤡 Honorable mention for “both sides are the same” people too. 🫠 www.mediaite.com/media/news/w...

Q: China, Russia, and Iran have interests in Venezuela. How does this operation affect your relationships with them? TRUMP: In terms of other countries that want oil, we're in the oil business. We're gonna sell it to them. We'll be selling oil.

Take frequent breaks. Every other douchebag on this platform is a foreign policy expert, philosopher and psychologist today. Step away when you feel it becoming too much. You don't have to fight with everyone or give them the power to steal your energy. Some of you are ready for that first break now

Trump openly frames military force as a commercial acquisition tool. You can’t credibly argue limited self defense, LE action, narrow authorization, or emergency necessity while simultaneously describing infrastructure takeover, profit generation, corporate involvement, and follow-on strikes.

🧵Hope everyone realizes that Trump just got us into a long, protracted war. Controlling all the oil infrastructure in Venezuela, in the jungle, is a long-term, high-manpower operation. And will start to become costly when they get back to guerrilla war and insurgency operations.

This may turn out to be Trump is the dog & Maduro is the car.

Here’s the scathing statement from @markwarner.bsky.social, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Have the day you voted for.

This is why Marco is there, btw. Stephen Miller wanted to bomb Mexico and it didn’t work, so they pivoted to Venezuela bc Marco thinks it’ll bring down Cuba. The oil part was to get Donnie Two Scoops on board

“Cuba is run by senile, incompetent men” says Marco Rubio in perhaps one of the most ironic statements ever uttered.

•Venezuela’s VP is still giving press conferences •very unclear how much of the other leadership is hanging around •not clear at all if there are US troops on the ground (which would, you know, constitute the occupation part)

I was at dinner last night and one of the attendees is a black farmer in NC he was talking about the vast changes they had to make going back to a Trump regime and how much easier life was under Biden and how it would be under Kamala, “if we had Kamala Harris I could rest alot more“.

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

War has always been the refuge of failed leadership. When presidents can’t deliver dignity at home, they export chaos elsewhere. Empire always claims it’s enforcing law. Indigenous people know it’s enforcing access. #Oil #Venezuela

Dan: You can cut words two and three of that sentence.

He’s having a really hard time reading. He’s gotten lost and re-read his previous sentence twice now.

Trump says he doesn’t know where Machado is nor he has talked to her. Says she is a very nice woman, “but she has no support or respect by people of Venezuela”.

This should go well./s

Every accusation is a confession.

Hey Press Corps! Ask him why he pardoned one countries government from his conviction of drug crimes and then did this. Cowards.

This is when we see who is serious about their oath & who isn’t. This President continues to exceed his powers because Republicans care more about a pat on the head than they do being patriots. OUR TROOPS, OUR LAND, OUR CITIZENS, & OUR STANDING IN THE WORLD are all being put at risk!

Fascinating to me that NPR is going with the Secretary of War nomenclature.

Trump just said in his address to the nation that our military action in Venezuela was "an attack on sovereignty." Hegseth dropped an F-bomb then immediately went on about how "deadly serious" they are. "Black Cocaine" Marian Kamensky, Austria 🇦🇹 @kamenskyvienna.bsky.social

I left a message for each of them this morning. I didn’t work from a script, but I did say something to each of the senators about needing to “redeem themselves“ after confirming Marco Rubio and tons of other Trump appointees.

Remember?? Hmm 🤔

Stand by for the insurgency... Trump says U.S. is ‘going to run’ Venezuela after capture of Maduro www.latimes.com/world-nation...

Report from @macfarlanenews.bsky.social regarding the return of the January 6 rioters to the Capitol this Tuesday and the whitewashing of what happened. youtube.com/shorts/yKCrP...

"A woman dressed as a pink Power Ranger hacked a dating site for far-right extremists. She deleted the entire site, but first she made users fall in love with AI bots she ran, thus obtaining information about them. Over 8,000 far-right profiles have now been mapped."

Just dropped out of an intro to econometrics course tonight because of the assignments for many of the weeks were “ask Microsoft copilot make an economic model of the worth of x ecological resource”.

DOJ is still in violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

The point is that if Maduro is really gone, Gonzalez and Machado are the leaders, not some general

It’s a meaningless scoop. Trump posted the story himself on social media. A real scoop is getting information Trump doesn’t want you to have.

CBS News reported on Trump’s 2 a.m. strikes before any official confirmation—after a rightward reset under new editor-in-chief Bari Weiss.

Y'ALL! This MF y'all elected actually started a whole-ass war To distract from his sex abuse of minors w/his homie RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

#Venezuela This is happening simply because so many Americans believe Latin America and the Caribbean are “America’s Backyard.” Teaching Caribbean Literature this past semester, I realized many students have never heard of the Monroe Doctrine (1823).

LOL

❗️According to Republican Senator Mike Lee, Secretary of State Marco Rubio informed him that Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro was detained by U.S. forces tonight for the purpose of bringing him to justice in the United States on criminal charges.

Senator Lee said that Secretary of State Rubio told him Venezuelan President Maduro was arrested by U.S. forces to stand trial on criminal charges in the United States.

Remember that there is a legitimately elected president of Venezuela: Edmundo Gonzalez. He won the election in 2024.

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

Sources in the Venezuela opposition tell Sky News that tonight’s operation to “capture” Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, was part of a “negotiated exit” between Maduro and the United States.

Forget 18 USC 2441, there's a gaggle of boys at Bragg who need to face 18 USC 1201 charges

#BREAKING via Jennifer Jacobs - Nicolas Maduro was captured by Delta Force, the U.S. military's top special mission unit, according to U.S. officials. Army Delta Force was also responsible for the mission that killed al-Baghdadi in 2019.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has been captured and flown from the country, President Donald Trump announced early Saturday after confirming that the U.S. forces conducted what he called “a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader.”
