Today was a kick in the ass. Too many words for a skeet and I wanted to share with yall because it helps to let it out. I’m deeply sad and horrified about the state of America tonight and am motivated by today’s events in the oval. Be well 🙏🏽
Neat, so just to be clear…we have sent two American oligarchs (one by nepotism, the other by pay to play) to receive a threat of WWIII from other oligarchs and we are calling it diplomacy? www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

I get it’s not personal it’s (bad) drag. That said, I cannot think of a situation where one party accuses the other of basically the worst thing possible and then… this. Presumably owning the libs is the higher cause 🤷
