These freaks want territorial expansion and they know Trump will do everything he can to deliver.

This isn’t just a tweet from some random asshole either. This is Stephen Miller’s wife. Miller was in the room with Trump during the kidnapping of Maduro.

Chuck Schumer and the democrats are not just rubes they are willingly allowing this to happen and think we are too stupid to see it.

Chuck and the entirety of the party have to be removed from office

In the past week, the Trump-Vance admin:
–Bombed Nigeria
–Bombed Venezuela, abducted its leader
–Bombed more ships in the middle of the ocean
–Threatened military action in Iran, Colombia, and Cuba
–Accepted the “Israel Prize” & hosted Netanyahu in Mar-a-Lago (despite his soldiers killing Americans)

It's kind of funny that just yesterday CBS Evening News made a big show of how it would unapologetically promote the American state... and is today going to cover the government's war crimes while pretending to be some neutral news source.

Chuck and Hakeem need to fucking go
This is *extremely* weak leadership from Jeffries and Schumer. When the wannabe king ignores congress to initiate regime change abroad, they are requesting a fucking briefing sometime soon.

Maduro was a brutal repressive dictator who destroyed Venezuela. Trump did not have congressional or UN approval to engage in unilateral regime change. Trump's actions were illegal. All of those things can be true at the same time. Don't let them make this about Maduro.

DC brain rot. These people have had brain rotted by Twitter. This is an insane reaction to what happened
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.

Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

So hey, we are the bad guys, everyone. Our “leader” instructed our military to do regime change, and dementia don is outright saying it was for the oil and money.
Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."

Healthcare costs in the US have skyrocketed. Food pantries are being depleted. People are losing their healthcare. He froze all childcare funding in the country, but the US is going to “run” a country now?
Trump on Venezuela: "We're going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper, and judicious transition"

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.

Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.

And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.

Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.

It's a power grab.
