It’s worth asking again. Does the US really serve its national or global
Interest by engaging in poorly thought almost random sabre rattling against Venezuela, edging now into an unauthorized war? So far there’s no believable rationale, beyond a narcissistic, unstable president needing distractions.
The US is at war with Venezuela.

No Congressional authorization, no public debate, no clearly stated goal, no casus belli, and a gradual ramp up rather than big opening, so many haven’t noticed (or deny it). But this attack removes the ambiguity.

US is at war with Venezuela. With no end in sight.

The CIA carried out a drone strike earlier this month on a port facility on the coast of Venezuela, sources familiar with the matter told CNN, marking the first known US attack on a target inside that...

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…”

Read that again.

Lots of inconsistencies (and idiotic incompetence) on why the CIA was used (and not the military) on the Venezuelan port drone strike.. now oddly & proudly announced by DT after the fact. Another end run around Congress war authorization, among other things. Another ego boost & distraction material.

Kudos to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy for keeping himself together after Trump‘s statement that „Russia wants Ukraine to succeed“. I would have bursted out laughing. But his facial expressions are priceless.

The U.S. government just banned five people from entering the country because it doesn’t like their speech. This ban, according to the State Department, is necessary to protect free speech.

If that sounds insane to you, congratulations on your reading comprehension.

DT wants friendship with a butcher who bombs UKR daily, tortures 95% of pow, locks up UKR children in occupied territories in psychiatric units for re-education, massacres/kidnaps civilians, wages hybrid warfare in Europe...

His friendship is a cult of death & its riches stained with innocent blood

Ok—we realize that are ‘bad’ people sprinkled all around the globe. (Certainly also some in the USA of course..)
But why is it DT, WH, Hegseth’ and our DoD’s choice to just randomly go on these gratuitous (ISIS) missions in Nigeria? Let’s focus on improving our own internal affairs.

Stories like Nolan’s below… call into question how humans draw such arbitrary lines between and among ourselves and the world. In service of culture, traditions, ideologies, and simply bad habits. Fuzzy dotted geographical lines, Nation, Language, cultural lines, all based on chance and evolution.
Woman comes to US at age 6. Graduates nursing school. Work permit. No criminal record. Snatched and imprisoned by ICE for 6 months now. About to be forced back to Honduras. A life destroyed and one less nurse. Merry Christmas.

A voodoo doll depicting an ICE agent is found in New Orleans. This hits in a peculiar way. The circular, modern horror, pointing back at itself.
A quintessential Kafkaesque, Joseph Heller, Kurt Vonnegut, Eugene O’Neil play waiting to be written, savored for its paradoxical, perverse delicacy.

Reminder: the emerging GOP “we’ve got a plan for a plan” health care approach oriented to HSA’s route subsidies to a persons HSAz
But then it forces them (eg “allows”) them to route it through an insurance industry middleman before it goes to an actual provider. Hmm.. see the problem?

Same health care for us as them. We can afford it; Once the oligarchs and billionaires chip in on taxes.
And once we dump the insurance industries needlessly brokering it all. And slow down on the corporate mega hospital / provider network mergers and regional monopolies.
EXACTLY 👇 THIS !

This already was their compromise.

Do you think any MAGA supporter actually knows that, sincerely?

Or have they all been brainwashed by the propaganda of "Obamacare"?

The “new”GOP health care plan is a warmed over apology for Big Insurance & corp. hospitals. Based on “the employer”.
Whoops?! Forgot the people not employed, or retired, or “fell through the cracks” (that could be You, tomorrow!) Ever been to an ER room in the US?) See how well that works?

Seizing an oil tanker, keeping the pirated spoils, incinerating smugglers and real people in 35’ ‘fast boats’ via Hellfire missiles using Gameboy controlled drones— none of this is vaguely about protecting US “health and safety”. Or our sordid interests. It’s bald faced opportunism and distraction.

Self driving, automated cars remains fascinating to many. But when Waymo vehicles blow past school buses as they have, society needs more than an apology and a temporary voluntary recall, saying “hey, no one died yet!!”. It’s too soon for widespread use, even acknowledging the “safety statistics”.

But people in little boats are the great national security problem , so we just kill them. Most corrupt president ever. Outlaw pardon powers to criminals! It should only be used for innocent people ! THIS WAS A DRUG TRAFFICKER !
There's only one reason this man pardoned a drug trafficker. He lined his pockets with a payoff and if you don't see that the you obviously haven't been paying attention.

I don’t need or want a Blockbuster Deal on an electronic product or clothes or a service on Black Friday. I just need our country to quit detaining & deporting 19 year women at the airport in their way home, against a judges order.
