If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again
Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

If you're wondering whether our armed forces will support martial law inside the United States at some point in the next 2+ years, pay attention

Trump admitting that there were “boots on the ground,” and “could have gone very badly,” i.e., introduced troops into “hostilities” as defined by WPR which would require prior congressional consultation (if not approval) esp if it was planned for months

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

The “peace” President has started a war.
He'll start a war to:
1. Distract from the Epstein Files
2. Steal oil
3. Justify emergency powers
4. Justify use of the AEA for deportation/internment
5. Help the drug lord he just pardoned

No discussion of democracy. No discussion of elections. Plenty of talk by Trump about running the country and taking the oil. Let’s not forget to thank John Roberts for his role in immunizing this international criminal.

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

The invasion of Venezuela is not about drugs or oil. It’s about extracting the rare minerals in the ground to fund their AI processing chips. Why do you think every tech billionaire was at the inauguration?

Along with so much else, Trump, Miller, Rubio, Hegseth and Ratcliffe are lying to us about Venezuelan history—they didn't steal our land or oil—but they're confident their base is too stupid to know that and too venal to care, and in *that* they're correct
Trump says Venezuela stole U.S. oil, land and assets. Here’s the history.
The government of the oil-rich nation took control of its petroleum industry in 1976, nationalizing hundreds of private businesses and foreign-owned assets.

Venezuela was not producing enough oil because of sanctions and blockades Trump orchestrated.
