The fatal flaw in American foreign policy is not understanding that other nations also have a sense of national pride and have no wish to be US vassal states.
VP Delcy Rodriguez, whom Trump indicated earlier today was collaborating with the US government, is live on television right now.
Earlier reports that she's in Russia are false. She's in Caracas with the rest of the cabinet.
Rodriguez: "We will never again be a colony for any empire"

TRUMP'S BAD BIRD CALL
Fossil fuels kill more birds than wind power.
Oil pits kill 500,000 to 1 million birds each year.
That's at least twice as many birds as wind turbines.
And that doesn't account for loss of avian life due to climate disruption.

Still mind-blowing that a top admin official was revealed to have taken $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from people looking for government favors, the reaction of the administration was "Whatever losers, this is how it works now" and bigshot news media said "If you say so, we'll forget about it"
Border czar Tom Homan didn't receive a normal background check for his role while his bribery probe was still ongoing:
Justice officials felt sure Homan would not be able to obtain a security clearance based on the evidence gathered. It remains unclear how Homan was eventually granted clearance.
