That is all

That includes the militar"leaders" who went along with this shit.

and I am confused as to why the military did something illegal

I downloaded it and will read it.

...the Trump voter

It fits right into where we are today. Scary but I guess cycles repeat every 80-100 years or so.

And propheting from the OIL needs to be convicted and sentenced to water boarding with oil. Forced to drink the shit till they end. Starting at the top.

he will be breaking international laws in V.

"We" don't recognize the ICC...but...I don't care. Other countries do.

can never be enforced if big powers become pirates, look at Russia, and now the US, so yeah, just a ruse.

With the greatest power in his hands the world has known.

This is a horror movie. And I've always avoided horror movies.

He left out an "i".
"Ruin." I fixed it.

He blows Bubba.
Arnold Palmer, he is in awl of his man meat. On video on audio ranting about the view of said meat, from golf club showers.
We know damn well he does not shower in public with that hair, heel lifts, spandex and make up.
So why does he hang around club showers doing a GymJordan on other’s man meat?
“Inquire-ing” minds want (need) to know.

We will ROB the country....

It was already pretty much ruined by Maduro.

And sounding drunk and deranged to boot. Or more likely, it's drugged and deranged.

In this episode, Little Marko has become Joint Ruler of Venezuela!
What lucky country will Trump invade in the next episode?
Stay Tuned!!

My buddy says Greenland.

Like they are playing a video game, and getting off on the bells and whistles.

How does he do this?

He's like Dr. Jeckel & Mr. Hyde.

He just started rambling on about the seven, eight, nine wars that he stopped.

And the train attack and that he is going to run a country he isn't in, has no boots on the ground, and appears to have a current leader. He is talking about flooding the oil market with high cost to refine oil that somehow America now owns, . . .

This doesn't sound like the ravings of a coherent on message man. He is making the Iraq war 2 justification sound noble and well thought out.

It doesn't help Rubio is acting like all this is news to him. . . I hope he has dementia at this point. The other options are far worse.

"Sir, you mentioned many times how great your perfect memory is, could you please sir, name off the nine wars you ended?"

If you ever see him articulate you can be ai helped. Whata Fuck$ing world eh?

The US just went a message to the entire world. We will kill it Jonah your leaders not they don’t bend their will to Trump. Maduro wouldn’t pay the shake down to Trump so he took him out. The leaders of Canada and Denmark could be next.

is known to remove inhibitions.

he is a piece of shit with zero guardrails.

Thanks, Trump voters.

Big guy kicks the crap out of a second grader.

That's chump.

Kidnapping a sitting president of a sovereign state, a founding member of the U.N., will not persuade U.N. members otherwise. This action could result in sanctions by U.N. members against the United States. Moreover, other unintended geopolitical consequences of this hit on VZ are yet to happen (not to mention the negative impact this will likely have on the 2026 congressional elections).

will veto.

the General Assembly's resolution that the U.S. has, in fact, violated the U.N.'s Charter.

Other countries have condemned the U.S. attack -- China, France, Mexico, Canada, Brazil's President Lula Da Silva, Belarus, Uruguay, Chile, Norway... others not so explicitly, who call for order for the Venezuelan people and diplomatic solutions. Let's see how Rubio and our U.N. rep respond.

The security council does, but the US has a veto and will use it.

Corrected from "no power" to little power.

There'll still be unintended bad geopolitical consequences as the felon drags Americans of good will along in the Axis of Evil.

This violence diverts US media attention from the doj's lawless delay in releasing the million+ Epstein files.
Worse, none of it will distract millions at home from the increasing economic hardship that they and big numbers of his own voters will continue to suffer this year.

Belarus is a vassal state that is a lapdog stooge of Putin. Lukashenko is a slave to Putin, practically licks his boots twice daily. Since Lukashenko is fully on board, up to and including active participation, with Putin's invasion and annexation attempt of the Ukraine (not that he has a choice), his condemnation of anyone else doing the exact same thing is a joke.

Socialist Republic (BSSR) in 1945. Belarus continued its membership after independence by informing the UN of its name change in 1991.

Belarus actively participates in UN activities, supports its principles, and has served in various UN bodies, though its relationship with some bodies, like the Security Council, has faced scrutiny.

So I'd say that Belarus is taking the long historical view that aligns with the majority of UN members, as it should.

From Reuters:

"Police Action"!

He will cherish it, although he knows he's just another contestant on the Apprentice.

Maduro is, it is an illegal act. Period. We are a rogue nation. No excuses.

All our strong leaders we depend on saving our DEMOCRACY just fold like a pretzel. What a crock of shit.

carrying his balls for a living.

Good one, though!

I have been watching this aspect of his behavior, and the artistic placement of facial fillers and new favored camera angle to try and hide, the stoke induced drooping of his face. He has a partially paralyzed tongue since this summer, you can hear it when he speaks words that use the back of the tongue... sounds slurry and drunk.

As for his upbeat demeanor, he's probably pumped up with puppy uppers and backed up with some 'happy talk' about something that cheers him up so he can perform for the cameras for a short time so we can all see he's still upright. Bet we won't actually see him for a day or three unless he's sitting behind a desk holding his hand. He's all about performing so that helps get him excited enough to go out and play his tough guy role for a few minutes.

I think it's over for him in a number of ways. I think it won't be long before we are looking at this as the start of the big change we have to make in this country by the end of the year.

Novocaine shpeak is a real bisshh.

I've honestly not heard him sound this bad before. And then there's what he's actually saying. Kreist.

His goons can only prop him for so much longer

A video short of it, that's what I mean, you know what I mean?

He can only make short appearances where he gets his fifteen minutes of manic behavior and then fades into dozeville.

Won't be long now.

do crazy shit and get away with it.

And I struggle to see a prospect for meaningful consequences for him and his. Where would they come from? How?

As always, he fucks around, everyone else pays the price.

He does that all the time. He overstates something wildly and then acts like he never said what he clearly said and goes on like nothing was said at all.

Practically, we can't "run Venezuela." Impossible. Trump's just fantasizing. He does that, too. All the time.

"When you're a star, they let you do it."

Entitlement, privilege, power. The right to do anything.

How are the gerrymandering laws going? How is the intimidation and demands for voter ID going? How is protecting real US citizens of targeted groups going? ALL the routine election suppression in the GOP hefty playbook? All the new stuff they tend to add to fix the tallies? All the imaginary powers of Trump to generally f things up, maybe the entire mail-in ballot process? All the consequences of Trump tossing the ballots before or after by projection of chaotic mischief on the far far out left(e.g. even meek and rule keeping Democratic suckers). This is a couple of decades of getting taken to the cleaners by an unlawful minority, plutocrat-owned party with barely a thumb in the dike by the too loyal opposition.

Inquiring minds would like to sleep at night.

Probably Iran, too.

as in pulls shit out of his ass as he goes along.

This is gonna suck, big time.

He’s being honest about this. It’s an imperialistic action to steal the resources and hand them over to the worst actors on earth.

In the past we’ve always pretended our coups and takeovers were organic, grassroots “revolutions.”

He’s just saying it straight out.

“We’re stealing their shit, we’re enslaving their people and fuck you, do something about it.”

In a sick way, it’s kind of refreshing. We’re not even putting on an act that we’re the “good guys.”

Maduro is only a piece of shit if you buy into all the propaganda spewed for years about socialism in Venezuela. He was not a drug running kingpin like the one pedo Trump just pardoned. It's the fear of socialism that the filthy-rich have instilled into most Americans that makes most people anti Maduro.

But look at his replacement. A woman who wants to sell off the Venezuelan oil fields to Donny Jr. A "free" trader like Pinochet, Machado. Except for her lack of military skills and leadership abilities, she just like Pinochet. Maduro is whole lot better than she is. Do you think she's going to give Venezuelans the right to vote? No she wants to be like pedo Trump.

And now Trump is saying he's going to run Venezuela. So, does he think Venezuela is just going to roll over and do what their king or queen tells them? Nothing about voting, nothing about freedom or civil rights. Yeah, big improvement over Maduro....not.

Along with his predecessor Hugo Chavez, Maduro did a pretty good job of ruining Venezuela. At least that's what I hear from my Venezuelan friends who grew up there. FWIW, they also think that Machado is a right-wing piece of shit, and they hate Trump too. They wanted to see Maduro gone, but they don't want to see a radical right-wing government take his place, nor do they want to see the U.S. bombing Venezuela and then running the country.

I don't think this is a situation that is divided neatly into two opposing sides.

I do agree that there is no irony lost in seeing dictator Trump crowing about freeing Venezuela from the clutches of dictator Maduro.

Yeah, most of the filthy-rich disliked Maduro. A lot of people who loved "free" trade didn't want Maduro. Even in Venezuela the propaganda convinced many people. It's difficult to realize you're are being manipulated as you can tell from all the Americans who voted for pedo Trump.

But there was and is just so much constant anti Maduro spewed daily from everywhere that it feels like a consorted effort to decieve. There is a large contingency in Venezuela who voted and supported Maduro. I wonder what they are planning now?

I predict a civil or a guerilla war as Venezuelans unite to boot out the US.

Madura wasn't the best but he was better than Pinochet wannabe Machado. He's certainly better than anything the pedo wants to do.

Maduro was a piece of shit,,, stole the election, arrested protesters and put them in prison, and drove the economy into the dirt.

The USA didn't help matters by imposing sanctions on oil from Venezuela. I guess oil profits are only OK only if US oil companies get to keep most of the money.

But instead of using the money from oil to diversify the economy and help the people... Maduro used it to prop up his power and for his cronies.

nt.

Trump said Cuba's next.

is becsuse of what comes after with the nation building and everything that comes with it.

Trump didn't do this to help the people of Venezuela. Many might be happy now becsuse Maduro sucked but Trump is only focused on what he can get out of it. He thinks the people of Venezuela owe him now. Trump won't stop until he profits from all of this.

move there and denounce his US citizenship and rule all he wants.

Did Interpol show up with an arrest warrant?

Maybe he meant "Special Military Operation" ( translated from Russian )

hospitals, retirement, roads, etc.

Send TrumpCo to the HAGUE!!

SO much wrong with today's actions and press conference.

DU members see through it all.

That is the essential element in his "presidency". They didnt steal our oil. They're not sending us Fentanyl. The women leaders in Venezuela and Mexico are capable leaders. He is not capable. He's governing outside the law of the land. And if more than half of us are OK with that, who the hell are we?

the mike to explain how, if we had better presidents in the US in the past we wouldn’t even have to have all these Cubans here at all, and that’s why we’re doing Venezuela, and Marco you’re Cuban, why don't you get up here and tell the people how we could have kept all the Cubans in Cuba.

And of course, Lil’ Marco just bopped right up there.

Shocked!

Over Christmas it is a family tradition to rewatch the Harry Potter movies while we bake cookies and decorate the tree, etc. There are eight films so It takes several days to finish the whole series and by that time the lights are up and the packaged are wrapped, and the ham and roast beef is ready to carve. And as I watch them, it always strikes me how similar the Voldemort versus Harry scenario is to what is going on in our country. A very great number of kids grew up watching these movies snd reading the books, and when I talk to them now as young adults, I really do sense the feeling of right versus wrong and good versus evil remains strong in their characters. That perhaps what they learned in those past 30 years left a mark. I may be wrong, but I sense that when they walk into a voting booth come November, they will know which column is comprised of Death Eaters. And perhaps some good magic will occur.

Sure, trump is not Lord Voldemort, but I swear, sometimes I think there's not a lot of difference. Especially when I think about the ramifications for the future.

Evil is evil. In whatever form it presents itself.

Epstein, dementia meds, Jack Smith, Melania's no doubt re-negotiating her pre-nup for the 20th time, and f-ing Putin won't let Ukraine go. What's a guy to do?

One can hope anyway.

to discourage him.

The tech billionaires want Greenland:

Shoot them all. They are a waste of resources.

(especially since the 2024 election--- and well before THAT....)


I didn't watch this morning's Trump press conference,
partly because I had no need to watch it....


(By the way-- did it actually happen??)

The orange man with the blond squirl on his head isn't making the decisions. The real people making the decisions are the oligarchs that send the order to the orange man on what he's to do next. (e.g. oil companies who wanted the Venezuela oil) If we don't deal with the oligarchs first, then the oligarchs will just give us another orange man, whether he's a democrat or a republican they don't care. The oligarchs will just promise the next orange man millions and billions, which is just pocket change to them, and they will do their biddings. Monopolies, Citizens United, Oligarchs THOSE ARE THE PROBLEMS, not the orange man and his family who are being enriched as long as they do as they are told. If I thought that orange man and his cronies were going to face the law for their crimes then I would say go after orange man. Instead everyone is screaming about the orange man and not blaming the real leaders of the USA...

N T

is it even possible for Trump to "blow" anything, in the usual sense of the word, at least as it relates to him meaningfully losing power and the world being set on a better course?

Their VP Delcy Rodríguez is now their acting president. Everyone else is still in their roles in their administration.

So yes it feels like he's just making up stuff as usual.
