So many people over decades have been called conspiracy theorists for suggesting that U.S. intervention is driven by capitalist interests, and the interests of the oil industry in particular. Now the president just says it outright in press conferences and interviews.
Q: China, Russia, and Iran have interests in Venezuela. How does this operation affect your relationships with them?
TRUMP: In terms of other countries that want oil, we're in the oil business. We're gonna sell it to them. We'll be selling oil.

A messaging trap that democrats fall into again and again is buying trump’s premise fully before weakly refuting it. “If you cut off the head of the snake another grows back?” That’s just bad writing. You are parroting his rhetoric — which is that he heroically cut off the head of the snake.

US military intervention in Venezuela has deepened the schisms that were already dividing the right — Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens, Thomas Massie, MTG, etc. But since MAGA is built on domination and humiliation, they are unable to put their coalition back together again.

This is what happens when you normalize gambling on everything — from sports to elections to war. It’s a symptom of a culture where insider access = profit, and the rest of us lose faith & trust in everything.

News: Gang of Eight in Congress were only notified about Trump's Venezuela operation after it began, source familiar tells me. That means the heads of the Intelligence Committees in Senate and House were *not* consulted. Just crazy.

The media wants the war and likes Trump and so will not report on this war as if it is unpopular, despite overwhelming polling showing that it is. Covering things as if they are unpopular is for things they want to stop and they want the war and want it to succeed.
Most Americans say President Trump should seek congressional authorization before using force in Venezuela.

We criticize streaming services (and digital purchases in general) because we don't really own any content we pay for, and it can disappear suddenly and without warning.
But there's another side of this coin. Service you use may stop support device you're using it on. And once again you're fucked.
