STEWART: “And remember, the reason MAGA was so high on Trump was he was the guy who wasn’t gonna get involved with this kind of sh*t anymore.”

Stewart shows Trump making it clear #Epsteinzuela is about Oil — and he’s not even hiding it as others have in the past.

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day.

Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me.

The January 6 Committee later found that “social media played a prominent role in amplifying erroneous claims of election fraud.”

But committee leaders chose not to publish some of their most scathing findings, fearing a public battle with big tech companies.

I don't know why patriot Charlie Kirk deleted this patriotic tweet about patriotic buses busing patriots to DC on Jan 6th, but the Internet never forgets.

Pretty wild how fast MAGA went from “no new wars!” to “Invade Venezuela, bomb Iran, bomb Nigeria, destabilize Cuba, attack Colombia, threaten Mexico, and annex Greenland!!”
TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?

MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO

T: So force is on the table?

M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

OK back to reasons given by "senior officials"

This vile new Stephen Miller tweet, along with the news that Miller may run the occupation of Venezuela, is a good time for you to read our deep dive into Miller's actual worldview and agenda, especially this part comparing Miller's language with Pat Buchanan's:

Trump has accomplished the feat of replicating 12 years of disastrous Reagan-Bush era foreign policy and tax + spending reforms in just 11 months. Truly impressive

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.
Right.

If you want a good explanation of why the American system of government worked well enough for 200 years and then suddenly stopped, it's because Republicans in Congress suddenly started letting their partisan interests COMPLETELY override their institutional interests
a lot of problems wouldn't exist if we had a congress with even an ounce of self interest

Let’s be clear: the Trump Admin is lying to the American people. This has never been about stopping drugs from coming to the US — it’s about grabbing Venezuela’s oil for his billionaire buddies. Trump has put American troops in harm’s way to boost oil company profits. Outrageous.
