Sorry, folks, I'm just extremely tired of the "we'll totally give Dems credit for doing XYZ" people immediately wrong rocking anything and everything Dems do.

Once again, for those in back: nothing short of removing Trump and his admin from office will stop the bad things from happening.

Greenland has less than a tenth of the population of Wyoming. Does anyone consider how that would affect representation in the House?
Rep. Randy Fine on his bill to make Greenland the 51st state: "We need to make sure we assert our dominance over the Western Hemisphere ... the last thing we need is Greenland to become another Venezuela where we have huge problems we have to deal with in the future."

The Russo-Ukrainian War has now gone on longer than the Great Patriotic War did for the Soviet Union.
⚡️Russia 'repeated fascism,' Zelensky says as war in Ukraine outlasts Nazi Germany's war with USSR.

The full-scale war in Ukraine entered its 1,418th day on Jan. 11, matching the length of Nazi Germany's fight against the Soviet Union during World War II.

Well, this is terrifying.
Trump told NYT that his power as commander in chief is constrained only by his "own morality" — brushing aside international law and other legitimate checks on his abilities.

"My own morality. My own mind. It's the only thing that can stop me."

"I don't need international law."

I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

You've got to be fucking kidding me. The claim that Venezuela has the largest oil reserves might have been propaganda? 😐
“Do they even have what they say they do? ..

“.. John Arnold, the well known former energy hedge fund manager, yesterday on X basically said the 300 billion barrel reserve claim was made up to Hugo Chavez ..”

Trump abducted Maduro because he was mad at him dancing and he won't let Machado become leader because she won the Nobel Peace Prize instead of him. Anyone attributing strategic thought to the Venezuela operation is overthinking it. It's all pettiness.

Trump is so desperate to not have this end up a quagmire. He hasn't realized that they could just not comply and force him to drag this out, which is going to be worse for him if it remains a news item.
A former staffer said that U.S. officials would not be performing a formal occupation like in Iraq. “We’re going to tell them: ‘Hey, this is what you have to do in order for there not to be another strike. That’s what [Trump] sees as running the country.” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Trump is loyal to no one yet everyone thinks they'll be the one.
Ms. Machado had “gone out of her way to please [Trump], calling him a ‘champion of freedom,’ mimicking his talking points on election fraud in the United States and even dedicating her Peace Prize to him.

“It was in vain.”

It would be hilarious if Trump did this to get Venezuela's oil without realizing that companies aren't very interested in trying to get their oil because he's too stupid to understand that.
(Not really hilarious but you know what I mean.)
Welcome to capex-by-blackmail.

“.. They’re saying, ‘you gotta go in if you want to play and get reimbursed,’” said one industry official .. “But the infrastructure .. is so dilapidated that no one .. can adequately assess what is needed to make it operable.”
