What a f-ing second - the President will use money extorted from a foreign government to fund spending without any congressional approval? Forget the impact on Venezuela, this is full-blown dictatorship in the USA.

The aftermath of Jan 6 is a story of power protecting power and a deep-seated reluctance to holding elites accountable.
America has constructed two justice systems: one offering extraordinary leniency for the elite, the other operating with swift severity for the disadvantaged.

Crazy idea: Don't data mule the President's claim he's getting $1-3B in "oil" from Delcy Rodriguez without also publishing how much the invasion cost.
Did she just pay you to make her President?

Talk like this. Plainly. Honestly. None of this “I invite my friends across the aisle to join me”. Treat them like the people they are: unwilling to do anything to help unless you’re wealthy
Walz is out of Fs: "Not a single Republican supported this, so every Minnesotan from here on, whoever uses this program, there is no bit of thanks that would go to the R legislators who did all they could to stop this ... our schools have money to pay their teachers? I'll take credit for that too."

America has never done anything to truly hold those responsible for treasonous action responsible. And so we have the Pedo President. And so we had Jim Crow. And so we see monuments to traitors who proudly fought against America in the 1860s.

I remember when we used to call this extortion: www.cnbc.com/2026/01/06/t...
Trump says Venezuela to give up to 50 million barrels of oil to U.S.
Trump's announcement came days after U.S. forces attacked Venezuela and captured its leader, Nicolas Maduro, to be prosecuted on drug-trafficking charges.

I just watched the NBC Nightly News and CBS Evening News. Not a single mention by NBC and a 20 second reference by CBS that today is the 5th anniversary of the January 6th insurrection. A day of infamy when a sitting president incited a violent mob to assault LEOs & storm the U.S. Capitol. Shameful.
