Himes: "I was delighted to hear that Tom Cotton, chairmen of the Senate Intel Committee, has been in regular contact with the admin. I've had zero outreach and no D I'm aware of has. So apparently we're now in a world where the legal obligation to keep Congress informed only applies to your party."

Venezuela is the new Sudetenland. Europe should not appease Trump like it did Hitler. The result will be the same.

Either it was a limited operation merely to arrest Maduro and move on, or, it is an ongoing major regime change committment that will open up a transition including international and private sector partners. It really can't be both

Again and again only words! The EU must act. And even here there is no condemnation of the illegal actions of the US. Again you are afraid to hurt the feelings of the international bully Donald Trump. Pathetic ! I hope your words will protect Greenland 🇬🇱 when the moment comes.

The US is not interested in the wellbeing of the Venezuelan people. They see oil $ and those profits will not flow onto the Venezuelan treasury, but will be confiscated (stolen) by the US. Besides, this is just a trial for the annex of Greenland. Rubio can say no, but they lie to their own Congress.

I'll point out that Hans Frank was not just Hitler's lawyer, he was also the head of the Academy for German Law. Wilhelm Frick was also a doctor of law and made similar legally positivistic arguments. Neither ever held a gun. Both were hanged.

In 1964, LBJ exploited the Gulf of Tonkin incident as a pretext for Vietnam.

In 1983, Reagan needed a pretext to invade Grenada to distract from his failures in Lebanon.

In 2003, GWB exploited 9/11 and lied about WMDs to occupy Iraq.

Trump needs a distraction from his pedophilia. How pathetic.

Nixon insisted the bombing of Cambodia was just targeting Viet Cong outposts there and not meant to undermine its government, but the bombings destabilized the Lon Nol government and paved the way for the Khmer Rouge’s killing fields and the massacre of more than a million people.
NBC's sources said that "the potential mission in Mexico is not designed to undermine the Mexican government." But that's what it will do if the US is doing CIA drone strikes on Mexican soil over the objections of the president.

I’m not gonna lie. Our country is in trouble. And it will take all of us to get us out of it. If you’re not involved in a pro-democracy organization, now is the time. Be that person.

When we organize, we win.

John Bolton: “What I have to say, the most stunning part about the press conference was probably saying the U.S. was going to run the country. But the second most stunning was the assault on Mrs. Machado, the leader of the Democratic forces.”

Trump is pushing the invasion of Greenland again. Denmark needs to kick out the US, send a larger military contingent and air defence systems to protect against a US invasion and attacks. Failing to do so is dangerously shortsighted.

Let's be honest: Nicolás Maduro could only *aspire* to lie about elections and commit crimes as often as Donald J. Trump.

Denmark needs to get rid of the US military base in Greenland and so does the rest of Europe. They aren’t going to defend against a Russian invasion but open a secondary front line to invade you too. It’s time to kick the US out worldwide.

Trump's end goal is to transform our entire government into an imperialist oligarchy working for HIM, *not* the American people. He gets there by lying, hiring loyalists, and sowing chaos, doubt, fear, and hate. Trump is doing Putin's work FOR him.

And now he wants 13 historical buildings in D.C. to expand his "Homeland Security" department, which he obviously plans to turn into his personal Gestapo at his exclusive command.

He sees Venezuela as just the right entree to membership into the “exclusive” club he’s been wetting his pants to enter….the Putin-Xi-Un-MBS tyrant club that is. He sees it as his hemisphere & people living in Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean & Central/South America just happen to be in it.

Trump is already threatening Venezuela’s interim leader, Delcy Rodríguez, saying that “if she doesn’t do what’s right, she is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro”

Way to pour more gasoline on the fire you started. 🙄
