If you think Trump's march to authoritarian power is unstoppable - or already a fait accompli - just note how panicked and weak he was tonight and he wheedled and whined about nothing is his fault.
That's not a man who thinks he's winning.

MAGA absolutely HATES George W Bush for starting a foreign war to protect American oil interests.
But MAGA loves Donald J Trump for... *checks notes*... starting a foreign war to protect American oil interests.

In case anyone is missing what is happening:
Trump is frantically ramping up tensions with Venezuela to try to keep the Epstein Files out of the news.
20 minutes before he HAS to release those files, he might launch a nuke, just so he can try to hide in plain sight.

A President has no power to declare war, but Donald John Trump just did that by declaring blockade on Venezuela.
In international law, such a declaration is equivalent to a declaration of war.
If the GOP wants an escape, they could use that and impeach him before the weekend.
As if.

If the House passes a 3 year extension of the ACA tax credits - which they now have the votes to do - then @LeaderJohnThune has to call it up for a vote in the Senate.
GOP leaders have tried as hard as they can to hurt families, but the dam is breaking. Let's get this done.

Putin did influence the Brexit referendum.
That's a fact.
The question remains, to what degree were those efforts effective?
Given the tiny margin...Putin's interference could easily have made the difference.

The Bush administration conned a majority of the country into thinking Iraq was tied to 9/11 to justify that war, and that came after nearly a year and a half of steady propaganda.
They worked to build up public support and held it through the early months of the war, before it all turned to shit.
