None of these countries care about Venezuela, not one bit. Venezuela exports minimal amounts of oil to all of these states. Venezuela is only a major supplier to oil to Cuba, and Cuba isn’t exactly in a position to counter American military actions.

It should shock people that the president of the United States would endorse kidnapping a democratically elected president of an allied nation. Columbia has cooperated with the U.S. for decades, this is insanity.

Touch. Grass.

Omfg I want one so bad 😭 that would look amazing on my desk

His judgement was already deeply in question, but damn he just keeps on going! The man has a serious lack of critical thinking skills.

Is anyone buying this catastrophe act?

Queer porn, unlike its straight cousin, is not consumed by the objectification of women. Any restrictions on porn broadly will hit queer creators the hardest. Of course an AEI fellow would ignore that aspect because they would love to see queer culture denigrated and decimated. Shame!

I hate to be the broken record, but there is little ethical consumption under capitalism

Most products on Temu are made in southeastern China just like most of the products on Amazon.

For instance, every peice of electronics you buy has a substantial chance of containing rare earth minerals mined by children in the Congo. There are innumerable examples of this in products from Temu, from Amazon, and from major corporations like Apple. Temu is not uniquely bad.

This casts the weakest of aspersions on a small fraction of the products on Temu. Check out the app and you will quickly find out that almost none of the clothes they sell are made of cotton anyway. Yes forced labor is a horrible crime, but forced labor is a problem across all supply chains.

Why? They sell most of the same stuff Amazon sells, just directly from factories in China.

Imagine polling this right before tariffs started to hit Chinese sellers and the de minimus exemption ended. People across the country are about to get whole lot more pissed off. A bunch of people who didn’t give a shit about politics before.

UET’s central argument is that the president represents the will of the American people who elected him so he should get to do whatever. But the American people were lied to repeatedly by him…..and they sure as hell didn’t elect Elon Musk and Pam Bondi. Seems like bullshit.
