Sigh

These "we'll issue our new health insurance plan in two weeks" bits from Trump are really starting to get old

Nothing says Make America Great Again like bringing Chinese jobs to Venezuela
Salazar: "In Congress we've understood that China, we need to bring those jobs back. Maybe to the United States, but maybe near-shoring or rear-shoring. Maybe it's time to bring those jobs to Venezuela and to Chile and to Bolivia and to Central and South America. They happen to be in our back yard."

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all oil companies are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness by forcibly annexing productive wells in Venezuela
Rep. Salazar: "We're gonna be doing a favor to us, to our children, to our economy, to our oil companies to be able to liberate. And to Venezuelans who wants to be free."

First mistake: voter apathy that led to the unfit and incompetent Trump. Perhaps, going forward, the story of Tatianna Schlossberg will convince we voters —who are lucky to be healthy—to try to choose better leaders, to fight a little harder, to make things better.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

The last time America attempted regime change to lower the price of oil it embroiled us in a war for two decades

And that’s just ONE of the many, many reasons not to attack Venezuela

The criminality of extrajudicially killing thousands of innocent civilians would be another

This week alone:

-Trump called for Democrats in Congress to be hanged.

-Defended the slaughter of a U.S. journalist in front of his killer.

-Surrendered to the murderous Putin who he called a "savvy genius" after his attack on Ukraine.

This guy is the greatest threat to America we've ever known.
