So what happens if the court finds Maduro not guilty?
Does he just awkwardly get deported back to Venezuela and we all forget this ever happened?

Trump didn't even consult with the leader of the Venezuelan opposition before decapitating their government because he's jealous she won a Nobel Peace Prize and his felonious warmongering ass did not.

Reminder: this was ALL preventable. This was ALL predictable.
Reminder: this is the fault of REPUBLICANS and voters who didn't take the threat of DJT seriously enough.
If you aren't holding Republicans accountable for this, and demanding answers from them, then....

So many libertarians are going to spend today complaining about the administration they voted for after claiming they had no other options.

I am struggling with what might be a generational experience. The gulf war was pretty politically formative for me. It’s not history so much as memory this time.
It is destabilizing to see almost the exact same gameplan but this time without the guardrails that at the time I took for granted.

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

This person went on a buying spree over the past 24 hours. Fresh wallet. Only existed since Dec 27th and has only bet on Venezuela-related markets.

Yeah uhhhhhh I'm not sure there's any precedent at all for a war that literally just didn't have public buy-in, or a material effort at generating same? In like, all of American history??

There are multiple national political commentators who earnestly predicted that Eric Adams would be a legitimate presidential candidate and a national figurehead of the Democratic party by now and those commentators still have careers somehow.

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

Everybody upset by this idea seems to be a CEO. Curious ;).
But most of them are missing the point. In the video, I highlight that AI is creating productivity gains. I believe we should have more than 0 of those gains go to workers, either in the form of higher wages or shorter work hours.
