A malignant narcissist is never satisfied. Tearing apart rule of law in America is not enough. Now he’s bent on destroying the world order that has provided relative peace & stability since WWII. No one has ever made him stop. Not John Roberts, not the voters.

A comment on the inclusion of machine gun charges in the Maduro indictment. I laughed and I do think it ridiculous that DOJ included it even while DOJ is suing DC to force it to accept semi-automatic weapons.
It's a traditional charge designed to up sentences.

George W. Bush winged it in Iraq after the invasion. The State Dept. spent months coming up with plans on how to govern following the US attack. The White House and DoD ignored them. And there’s no way Trump admin. devoted months-or weeks-to preparing for an occupation of Venezuela.
"My strong assumption is that they now seem to be totally winging it," writes @joshtpm.bsky.social about Trump's assertion that the U.S. will now "run" Venezuela.

The USA is a rogue state that no longer has any legitimate claim to respect in the international community. If we don’t remove this lawless madman from power, it’s time for the UN to expel us from its ranks and relocate itself to Europe.
Trump on Sheinbaum: "The cartels are running Mexico. She's not running Mexico. We could be politically correct & nice and say, 'Oh, yes, she is.' No no. And I've asked her number times, 'Would you like us to take out the cartels?' ... something is gonna have to be done with Mexico."
