Wow. Woke up to the not unexpected oil grab in Venezuela.
Sometimes I think that Trump spent way too much time with Putin and Netanyahu, it sure seems like he thinks Latin America is America's Colony/Westbank.
Wtf are we doing people? While we turn away from Ukr we steal from Venezuela??

So much easier to just use the U.S. military to steal from other countries than to actually earn it or make deals, amirite? Thanks, John Roberts, for unleashing this lifelong criminal.

5 years of history, they want access to socials... so Ai can harvest and assess and make conclusions? why even bother coming here to the USA to get treated like this.
Ugly.
Not all social media are US companies, right?

US could ask tourists for five-year social media history before entry
The plan would affect people from countries, including the UK, who can fill out a form in lieu of a visa.

During the shutdown, the Senate approved adding $32B to Trump's already record breaking $1 trillion Pentagon budget.
The Senate still hasn't voted on extending ACA subsidies — which would cost $35B.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Does Trump and his cronies want to be Ultimate Boyars of Ukraine?
In return for selling out Ukraine will they become the new "Golden Horde" -- controlling the fertile steppe of Ukraine? Granted land and subjects by the Emperor of Russia?
Doesn't it seem like the "pee pee" tapes were real?
