For 22 years we have had a Senate with 1 Lindsey Graham and 0 pediatricians.

How about we try a Senate with 0 Lindsey Grahams and 1 pediatrician?

A rogue force.
ICE++ the CBP, and judging from the patches — BORTAC.

BORTAC is a counterterrorism tactical unit of CBP.

Just shooting people

This is an article I keep coming back to with growing frustration, as I see so many of our mainstream outlets refusing to adapt to an authoritarian regime, and often capitulating to the regime. This particular quote from a Polish journalist strikes me as especially important today.

Cool so do it. And don't fold on the shutdown for any reason at all ever. The federal government is not real, it's a piggy bank for Trump. There is no Congress. There is only the treasury and our tax money paying thugs to kill Americans and bombs to kill Venezuelans and steal their oil
Kristi Noem is a stone-cold liar who has zero credibility.

There is nothing to suggest the shooting of an unarmed woman in Minneapolis was justified.

This heinous killing must be criminally investigated to the full extent of the law.

TDS is the biggest load of gaslighting bullshit I've ever heard.

Trump acts like a tyrant/toddler/fascist/lunatic and it's everyone else with the problem if they don't go along?

Get the fuck out of here with that. It's a tactic that only works if we accept it. HE is fucked up, not us.

FYI:

In 1916 the U.S. signed an agreement for control of St. Thomas, St. John & St. Croix, known as the “Danish West Indies,” in exchange for $25 million & a declaration that the U.S. would “not object to the Danish Govt extending their political & economic interests to the whole of Greenland.

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.

“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

And there it is.

It was never about drugs.
Reporter: Did you speak with the oil companies before the operation? Did you tip them off?

Trump: Before and after. They want to go in and they’re going to do a great job.

If your concern is about fraud, and making sure the poorest receive funds, block grants are the opposite of what we should do. They allow states to redirect the money away from the neediest.
OTOH, there is very persuasive evidence that SNAP really helps people.

Typically when the US embarks on an illegal or dubiously legal regime change we use noble words about democracy, rule of law, spreading freedom, etc. to justify our actions. Trump has not done that. He offers few noble words as eulogistic covering. It's a crass power & oil grab, according to Trump.
