While Trump kept the American people in the dark on his plans for Venezuela, Big Oil got a heads up “before and after” the attack. The public deserves to know if they’re footing the bill while oil companies reap profits. Chevron, ExxonMobil, and ConocoPhillips must answer.

Trump's illegal military strike WAS NEVER about stopping drugs or democracy for Venezuela.
It's about OIL and how Trump can use Venezuela's oil to get himself and his donors rich.
He is quite literally telling us that. And that's not worth risking American lives for.

Scarborough on what Trump told him during a phone call yesterday: "Joe, the the difference between Iraq and this is that Bush didn't keep the oil. We're going to keep the oil. To underline his point, Trump said his comments were no long on background."

They’ve been planning the Venezuela attack since at least August. Oil companies knew.
Congress didn’t. Not briefed. Not consulted.
And Trump’s oil fantasy isn’t a quick win. Venezuela’s oil is a decade-long infrastructure project, while he’s gutting infrastructure here.
But America First?

It’s actually impressive that Bacon is denouncing this so pointedly. That doesn’t mean the Administration will drop the subject, and it doesn’t mean that Republicans wouldn’t eventually fall in line, but any pointed public opposition by co-partisans in this environment is noteworthy.
Bacon on the administration's rhetoric about Greenland: "This is one of the silliest things I've heard come out of the White House in the last year. It's unacceptable and I hope other Republicans line up behind me and make it clear to the White House that it's wrong."

So how did Thom Tillis respond to this unprecedented assault on US democracy? By voting against Trump’s impeachment, supporting his reelection, voting in favor of every Trump nominee for every office and in every possible way supporting his establishment of authoritarian rule.
Sen. Tillis denounces Trump's pardons of J6 insurrectionists: "We let bad people go, and we sent the message that if you come to this Capitol and you have the right president in office, he's gonna get you get past things that not anyone of us would get away with if we did it back in our home state"

Five years ago, Donald Trump instigated a violent insurrection in the Capitol to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 election. The fact that the GOP coddled him, protected him, renominated him, and now support him in office, is a stain that will never be erased.
