The media was bored senseless by the Two (2) Impeachments, COVID, the Mueller Report and the January 6th Hearings.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

The WH released photos of Trump watching the operation live from a makeshift “war room” at Mar-a-Lago.
Trump went on Fox News this morning and said he watched it like “a television show,” praising the “speed” and “violence” as “an amazing thing.”

The indictment against Maduro is about cocaine. If we had an honest White House Press Corps, every press interview Trump did would start with why he pardoned a narco terrorist president who imported 400 tons of cocaine into the United States.

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

From Europe to Japan, the world was already re-arming. Expect that to accelerate dramatically now.
And once nations across the world feel armed to engage in war, history shows they will.
Trump is erasing the 20th Century’s lessons and dooming us to repeat the start of it.

Secretaries Rubio and Hegseth told Members of Congress their illegal attacks on boats was not about regime change, but capturing a sitting leader is the literal definition of regime change. Trump and his band of misfits seem to have no endgame to this potential quagmire.

Bombing and occupying Venezuela is an illegal act of war against a sovereign nation. Only Congress has the ability to declare war, but Speaker Johnson and the Republican majorities in the House and Senate have rolled over and gave up our Article One powers.

You can’t fix a narcissist—especially a malignant one. You win by going *no contact*, refusing their bait, denying them reaction or access. Detach, document, disengage. Starve the ego, feed your peace.

Together, we can starve Trump’s feedback loop. Deny *ratings* w/ coordinated media blackouts, platform deboosting, mass redirection to policy over spectacle. Force him to chase empty air—non-engagement wounds a narcissist like him who measures his power by eyeballs. Turn attention into a void.

I don’t carry “immigration documents” with me at all times. Americans have not had to produce “their papers” for police without cause. Is this the new standard, given Kavanaugh stops? reason.com/2025/12/31/d...
DHS says REAL ID, which DHS certifies, is too unreliable to confirm U.S. citizenship
It's the punch line to a bad joke that started 20 years ago when Congress passed the REAL ID Act.
