Nicolás Maduro Charged With Felony Oil Possession

Elon decided to make a right wing LLM and confirmed pedocon theory in the process

This photo is Canadians fighting the Nazis in the Battle of Britain. We were a poor country of 11 million people. We built the 4th largest air force and navy in the world. When the Brits were being evacuated at Dunkirk we were already defending her shores. Message to fascists and tyrants: FAFO

I think it's straight up unethical to continually ask Trump if he's invading Colombia or Greenland at this stage. We learn nothing and it makes it stick in his head

In a nutshell.

I keep reposting this but www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

WELKER: Is the Cuban government the Trump administration's next target? MARCO RUBIO: Well, the Cuban government is a huge problem. Yeah. WELKER: Is that a yes? RUBIO: I think they're in a lot of trouble, yes

Just one difference. Americans in this context are not children. We're adults who can be expected to overpower the driver and stop him.

Like, all the academics in international relations and adjacent disciplines should be telling the class "fuck it, everyone gets an 'A'" and start passing out joints.

Europeans can you take a minute to crawl out of the US’ ass anytime they do something illegal? If you don’t want Russia to invade you stop pandering to Trump’s actions that legitimize your own demise. Stop kissing US ass challenge.

Literally with a gun to their heads.

Mark Kelly puts out a statement saying "The President of the United States just overthrew a foreign ruler and explained to the American people that this is about taking control of the oil reserves of a foreign nation." This is probably the strongest statement alongside Gallego's I've read.

“Well… we can’t just keep filing impeachment articles all the time.” Yes you can! If the man is committing impeachable offenses on the regular, you’re acquiescing to a standard that raises the bar for impeachable offense to absurd levels.

Best thing I’ve read this morning, from a human rights lawyer in Mexico. Translation is in the ALT-text.

Ordinary Americans do not share the media elites' euphoria for the peace president's imperialist wars.

So the US can abduct anyone—including heads of state—as long as they’ve been indicted in the US. But the SC has also ruled it’s impossible for the US to prosecute its own President. The natural conclusion: some sort of mutually beneficial system of authoritarian kidnap-exchange. A Coasean Sargon.

Yet one more reason Democrats have to be out front—right now—in saying they condemn any talk of annexing Greenland, and pledging that they will undo it the second they return to the presidency.

The cynics think today's attack on Venezuela is staged and transactional. Maduro is allied with Putin, but in 2019 Putin offered Trump a swap: Russia cedes Venezuela and gets Ukraine. (See Fiona Hill's testimony in Trump's first impeachment trial, h/t @davetroy.com). Even Maduro may be in on it. 2/

It’s the United States that needs regime change.

Venezuela seems like less of a war or invasion than a Viking plundering campaign from the Middle Ages. They surprise attacked, they stole stuff, they killed some people, they kidnapped the king, they left. It’s medieval—which makes sense because we’re rewinding to before the Treaty of Westphalia.

Keep in mind: Trump couldn't share his plans to invade Venezuela with Congress because they're "not trustworthy." But he had no problems sharing these plans with Chevron and Exxon Mobil, as we learn here.

Trump on why he pardoned notorious drug trafficker Juan Hernandez: “It was a Biden set up. Take any country you want. If someone sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail for the rest of his life.”

These freaks want territorial expansion and they know Trump will do everything he can to deliver. This isn’t just a tweet from some random asshole either. This is Stephen Miller’s wife. Miller was in the room with Trump during the kidnapping of Maduro.

Trump’s biggest achievement will be seen tomorrow morning when the Sunday shows aren’t talking about the Epstein files.

Just asked my 13yo and his friends if they’d heard about Venezuela - 3/3 yes Asked them why America had invaded - unanimous instant chorus of “oil” The kids know more than 50% of American voters.

Maybe people should take Trump seriously when he repeatedly insists that he starts wars to take countries' resources.

Anyone pretending Trump’s actions are meant to allow democracy or law to flourish in Venezuela is a moron of Vatnik proportions. This is a resource grab.

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes

Alright, what’s this about now? OSINT accounts reporting that flight trackers show a lot of C-17s headed *east* to England from Savannah and Ft Campbell—homes of the ready Ranger battalion (1/75) and the 160th SOAR (which together would constitute DOD’s on-call airfield seizure package)

It doesn’t matter if Trump has congressional approval or not, the attack on Venezuela is an international crime. It is a Crime Against Peace (or Crime of Aggression). To deny this is to legitimize the conquest of Ukraine, Taiwan, and others kleptocrats and oligarchs hunger for.

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"

AMERICA FIRST! 🇺🇸

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.

Check out this fucking lie. Who runs this place?

👇🎯

Trump says ‘we’re not afraid of boots on the ground’ he damn sure was afraid of it when he got 5 deferments from Vietnam War. You’re a cowardly bitch who is gonna get other folks kids killed. Send Barron there, PAB.

The ‘Putinization’ of US foreign policy has arrived in Venezuela

Every reaction from any Democrat that stops short of impeachment is utterly disqualifying.

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

I’ve been working full time to stop this war since last summer and the one scenario I feared the most is materializing — Trump is making a play for Venezuela’s oil. I’m not saying an insurgency will definitely form, but Trump’s ploy creates the perfect storm for an absolutely disastrous occupation.🧵

The New York Times predicts that In the future Americans will be able to buy inexpensive, energy-efficient cars that people in the rest of the world can buy right now. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/02/b...

Wall Street’s biggest banks made more money financing green projects than they did from working with fossil fuel companies for a fourth straight year, even as they faced ongoing pressure to pull back from the business

also, if there is one level of government that is socialist, it's city government. there's no free marketplace of parking enforcement, firefighting, street paving or drinking water

⚡️How Ukraine's military intelligence faked the death of Denis Kapustin, a Russian commander fighting for Kyiv. HUR has published video of Kapustin's staged "death," which the agency used to collect a $500,000 bounty. The video shows a drone strike on a minibus with Kapustin inside.

Trump's hand is fake. His real hand was removed. The insiders all know it. Signatures with a fake hand aren't constitutional.

i thought i remembered that name:

Why do I have to read an Irish paper for a feature about this?

Mamdani has only been Mayor for a day & criminals are already fleeing New York

Zuckerburg is paying only $190M to settle an $8B lawsuit by FB shareholders for the Cambridge Analytica crime. $8B would’ve been 3% of his net worth, and $190M is .08%. ~$75 for ordinary working people. “If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class.”
