If it was a distraction there would be evidence of shame about the things they’re distracting from but all you ever see is mild irritation that people haven’t moved on

i feel like i see a lot of "mysterious new account makes big bet on insider information" news stories and not enough people-being-arrested-for-that news stories
“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

These online right wing freaks don't just hate their own country in the abstract. If you are reading this here, they hate *you* specifically. I don't know what our future holds for living with these people, but people should remember that toleration in Europe started behind a sword and a shield.

so why aren't you calling for impeachment
2/ The Trump Administration repeatedly lied to Congress and the American people about Venezuela. Over and over, officials testified that this was not about regime change.

Trump's chief contribution to American politics is revealing that you don't need a respectable veneer for evil, corrupt behavior. You can rob the bank, say you did it because you like money and you'll do it again, and challenge anyone to stop you

Exercising great restraint by calling my representatives and telling them they should forcefully oppose the invasion of Venezuela instead of just emailing them this image

"It's an extension of the atrocities this country has always done" and "the unique specifics of this situation mark an escalation in the horror" are not contradictory statements.
I think we need to be able to balance the reactions "this is another expression of 250 years of American imperialism" and "what do you MEAN we kidnapped the president of Venezuela and renditioned him to the US and are now claiming to run the country"
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Asked about the possibility of impeachment, Schumer says "we hope that we can have support from our Republican colleagues to put a brake on this long before it gets that far"

I know we're past the point where pointing this out seems meaningful, but it is absolutely insane for elected representatives to soberly, rationally say "well obviously briefings from the executive will all be lies," and such a society cannot survive.
FOX NEWS: What are your expectations when you get briefings from senior Trump administration officials in the coming days?
GALLEGO: Well, they're just gonna lie

Former Politico reporter Rachael Bade is the poster child for the DC media disconnect. Grinning with a mimosa in her avatar while treating politics like a game.
