The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

In 2020, when Bill Barr attempted to set up this VZ invasion, the indictment specifically named Guaido as democratically elected, even though it was not as legitimate as last year's.
In 2025, Trump is not naming who was democratically elected.

*if it is military “self-defense,” what is the justification for “running” the country?
*does U.S. recognize Maduro (or his VP) as Venezuela’s leader?

The point was never to save money. That was only ever a convenient justification for an effort to decimate the public sector and dismantle the US social safety net.
On DOGE’s watch, federal spending did not go down at all. It went up. But is still led to cuts that closed offices, canceled programs and deprived people of food, medicine and other aid.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.
