Trump: “I am pleased to announce that the Interim Authorities in Venezuela will be turning over between 30 and 50 MILLION Barrels of High Quality, Sanctioned Oil, to the United States of America. This Oil will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, as President”

I actually didn’t buy this until it blew up because it feels exactly like a managed PR campaign to give everyone the background they need to understand the new episode.

The number of people yesterday - many big accounts here, smart folks - who didn’t know that large hotel chains primarily operate as franchises was pretty eye opening.
Hilton said Tuesday that it is removing an independently owned Minnesota hotel from its system after a location denied rooms to ICE employees.

the shocked pikachu faces from these guys when our forward deployed assets are seized by our former allies will be something to behold
right. and like it's not like they're hiding it now. all of the major pundits (knowles + walsh) basically think the takeaway from Iraq War was not that PNAC was right to want to build democracy, but a world that is explicitly built around turning America into an empire

I didn’t really buy the Stranger Things conspiracies but the way it’s evolving there is no way it isn’t PR managed and I doubt they’d indulge the conspiracies unless they were true.

No joke: Emanuel Macron should openly talk about how Denmark is under France’s nuclear umbrella.
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

I went to protests close to every other week last summer and fall and there were dads holding signs calling for guillotines with their toddlers strapped to their chests. My normie D family’s baseline is “primary everyone”

The most “vote blue no matter who” people in my life, the most Defend Democrats-minded people I know as recently as the end of 2024 are now exclusively out for blood and demanding Schumer’s resignation and for Dems in Congress to do total obstruction. Its crazy how far from the base the party is
we've got some ICE shit going down in our little town today and it took like three minutes for a convoy of wine moms to start chasing them around town. normies hate this shit and are putting in the work

Also you’re Chuck Schumer, you can get booked anywhere and just do something insane to steal the media cycle for 24hrs.
Claim that any oil executives who go into Venezuela will face FCPA investigations as soon as Dems are back in power, doesn’t matter just be better than fucking Eeyore

The ICC has had jurisdiction under Article 7 and possibly Article 8 at least since he sent people to El Salvador which is a party to the Rome Statute.
You could make a case for Article 70 given the breadth of sanctions on ICC investigators as well.
