Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Look at this 1930 map. See the bottom? That's Venezuela. See the top? That's Greenland. Know who drew the map? Joshua Haldeman - Elon Musk's Grandfather. Elon, and other Silicon Valley leaders have convinced Trump/Vance to annex independent nations. It's about OIL and TERRITORY.

It’s 2026. A convicted felon is still the President. He continues to break laws, disregard the Constitution, & lie. He will do anything to protect himself & the other pedophiles listed in the Epstein files. The Republican Congress is allowing the procrastination to continue.

No Process, No Peace
The New York Times dives deep into the Trump Administration's failure to secure an end to the war in Ukraine. It's a damning piece of reporting, demonstrating the lack of process is partly to blame.

I’m trying to think what would have happened if, during the Mississippi welfare fraud scandal between 2020 and 2023, the Biden administration had halted *all* federal welfare funding to Mississippi.

The right would have lost it; Fox & GOP would have called for an armed revolt.
