Of course it hasn’t materialized…

The conversation on Threads

It’s Sunday. So let me share a story with you. The story of Nicolae Ceaușescu He was a very powerful and corrupt leader who believed he was invincible but was ultimately turned against by his followers and his own military in Romania.

The difference is that one greased the tyrant’s palm… it seems the other did not (yet)…

Then they were the only ones surprised.

A reminder from Charles Lane on Substack of Orwell’s deep understanding of inequality shared in his “The Road to Wigan Pier” (1937)… “…it is only because miners sweat their guts out that superior persons can remain superior”… and in the world today, also because soldiers & citizens shed their blood…

The folks on Fox & Friends really wanted to make a big deal out of Rep. Carlos Gimenez's comparison of the U.S. strike on Venezuela to the fall of the Berlin Wall. One huge difference - the wall was taken down by Germans, not an invading country.

Immediately after the news broke that the U.S. military had invaded Venezuela and captured Maduro, the folks at Fox wanted to invade Mexico, Colombia and Cuba next! What happened to NO NEW WARS?

The axis of evil…

Trump's attack on Venezuela will create global instability. Will prolong the Ukraine war. How could the US condemn and sanction Russia? Encourage Putin to kidnap Zelensky. Encourage China to takeover Taiwan. What is the point of the UN if rogue powers can do whatever they want?

Truly pathetic…

America isn’t a rogue state. It’s a rogue superpower. And that is concerning for the whole world. But none of this is a surprise. This was all outlined in Project 25 and then shown to be true on Page 15 of the new US National Security Strategy. “The United States will reassert

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has criticised the capture of Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro on X, calling it an 'act of war' and saying the 'blatant pursuit of regime change' affects not just those abroad, but also tens of thousands of Venezuelans in New York.

She knows she is already at war politically and economically with the MAGA regime to defend Mexico… she looks at Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Ukraine and fears that she might be sharing his fate if American tyranny isn’t held to account for its violations of international law in Venezuela

This is not going to end well…

Yep… Sure…

Is there a person on this planet who doesn’t know who this post is about?

Just a reminder…

People aren’t paying enough attention to the #CitgoAuction …the MAGA tyrant just used the US military to help his buddy close a deal to buy Citgo for pennies on the dollar…

The MAGA regime just used its military might to facilitate Amber Energy’s bargain-basement bid for Citgo’s assets in Venezuela… this isn’t about drugs or removing an illegitimate tyrannical ruler to restore democracy… this is about Trump helping his friends collect a debt… #CitgoAuction …look it up

One of @hcrichardson.bsky.social “must reads”…

“She was gracious but really doesn’t have a choice.” … Sounds a lot like the way that Epstein’s co-conspirators describe their victims…

"We're going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper, and judicious transition," Trump said And by “we’re,” he means ExxonMobil and Chevron.

I have a $100 bet that Senile Satan already has a costume made for when he’s pretending to be the president of Venezuela.

looks like someone is about to win the “fell for it again” award

A deal made one corrupt conman to another…

Lurking inside the mind of the most extreme malignant narcissist in modern history is the capacity for complete annihilation…

We refused to stop trump's lawlessness at home and now he kidnaps foreign leaders. This is what happens when you don't hold a malignant narcissist accountable. Nothing is sacred to him except power and money. This is not defense. It is theft. Refuse the lies. Name it. #MaduroKidnapping

He is operating as an Imperialist Ruler with a lifetime of experience as a grifter, con artist, and fraud… with a sociopathic compulsion to rape and harass women.

If they are able to go to another country and kidnap their leader, can someone please come get ours?

See, I'm not interested in seeing the leader of another country held accountable for legitimate crimes...until I see the leader of THIS country held accountable for legitimate crimes. I'm funny like that.

If Nicolás Maduro stands trial in the United States and gets convicted of 34 felonies, does that mean he’s qualified to be our next president now? Just checking what the standards are these days.

A functioning Supreme Court and DOJ would also be helpful…

Trump's regime has murdered people in the water. He has seized ships on the high seas. He has invaded a country and kidnapped their leader. All bets are off with the United States. Canada needs to build alliances with Europe and to be ready on the home front.

“A dark moment.”

He did get a bowling trophy.

ICE agents in Finland have just deported a gang of American hockey players…

These are the people who just bombed Venezuela…

💯… and this is why they don’t want their kids to go to college…

Sad, scary, and true…

Sure looks like he’s trying to match Obama’s record by getting credit for ending the wars he started…

Yes… this could have been avoided if 1000 women were believed… and yes, most educated women did not vote for him… and yes, women know a convicted rapist and con artist should be in prison, not the White House

But billionaires pay lower taxes.

So called “independent” journalist was caught paying Hispanics to protest Biden for one of his You tube videos. 5 of the daycares he accused of fraud had already been investigated and cleared of all charges by the federal government. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 www.thedailybeast.com/magasstunt/

Nobody makes a deal like he does… that’s why he has 600% more bankruptcies than any other president in history…

George Santos says he’s “officially” left NYC. Thanks, Mamdani! This is what I voted for.

Can someone check to see if the defibrillators are working at his golf courses?

He’s threatening war to protect the rights of Iranians to protest against their government… the same man who wanted the military to shoot & drop tear gas on protesters in America… And who can forget the great video of him dropping loads of shit on Americans exercising their right to protest?

Jack Smith's deposition must be bigger news "There is no historical analog for what..Trump did..[H]e was free to say he thought he won..He was even free to say falsely that he won..But..he was not free to..violate federal law and use knowingly false statements..to target lawful government function"
