This normalizes corruption, feeding the sentiment that both sides suck and so politics is pointless. A Dem party focused on rehabilitating its broken brand would be criticizing Trump and booting out Cuellar. Let the corrupt guys become corporate lobbyists - they’re dragging our party down.

-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

I’m holding out for the remake of “Les Cousins Dangereux”
It’s a well-known story, returning this time with a female gaze. The new HBO Max miniseries “The Seduction,” a steamy French-language drama inspired by “Dangerous Liaisons,” explores the backstory of Isabelle de Merteuil – played memorably by Glenn Close in the 1988 movie.
