Now, don’t be distracted from (1) the Epstein files and (2) from the Jack Smith testimony and (3) the attack on free and fair elections. Focus on the democracy and a morally sound America.

There is no reasoning with fascism. It needs to be smashed. And it’s followers need to be mocked and laughed at for eternity.

This new war is not only illegal, reckless and deeply corrupt, it is the latest in a series of increasingly desperate distractions from the EPSTEIN Files.

There is no global authority that can police the United States. The law restrains us only if we choose to be restrained. When Congress refuses to act, when courts stay silent, when we bomb nations and announce colonial rule impunity isn't an accident. It's policy. This is empire.

The President's powers come from the Constitution and Congress. There's no third source.
If neither grant a power—and, more importantly, if either prohibit it—then the President doesn't have it. Full stop.

Trump admin saying they didn't need Congress's approval because this was a "police mission."
Cool........you made your arrests. Now back the fuck off and let Venezuelans determine their own destiny.
Anything Trump does beyond this point just goes to prove what a lie this was.

Given our incredible track record of regime changes e.g. Iran (wtf to fubar), Iraq (Saddam to ISIS), Afghanistan (Taliban to Taliban), I’m sure Venezuelans feel pretty good about their prospects.

Please explain how you invade another sovereign nation, kidnap its leader, and have to "wait and see" what we will do next!?!
Is anyone out there who can make this make sense?

Trump sees dollar signs with Venezuelan oil, has designs on other countries, and clearly sees himself as some kind of emperor of the world. I don’t think he has plans to leave in 2028. And he’s showing he’ll use the military however he wants

The United States will be in a major war by November and the regime will use it to suspend elections. They will further use the inevitable uprising to impose martial law and suspend constitutional freedoms. It is a near certainty at this point. The only question is who we will be at war with.

THIS WAS AN ACT OF WAR AND A VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW.
But put that aside for a second…
What’s wild is that Marco Rubio isn’t even pretending anymore. He’s not hiding that the invasion of Venezuela is about oil.
This is going to end up a dumpster fire…

Donald Trump wants to run Venezuela, and dominate the western hemisphere
Snatching Nicolás Maduro and attempting to take control of Venezuela and its oil is an extraordinary display of the new “Donroe doctrine”
