I still am sore about people who chose to opt out of the 2024 election because a decades-long conflict was more important than the stability of their own country.
They say βsecure your oxygen mask first before helping othersβ on a plane for a reason.
If it helps I can delete it.
Peace.
So, I have seen this called out multiple times. My bad for not knowing you're Black.
Congratulations to all the folks that said HRC and KDH were going to start endless wars and didnβt vote for them. π€‘
Honorable mention for βboth sides are the sameβ people too. π«

Q: China, Russia, and Iran have interests in Venezuela. How does this operation affect your relationships with them?
TRUMP: In terms of other countries that want oil, we're in the oil business. We're gonna sell it to them. We'll be selling oil.
Take frequent breaks.
Every other douchebag on this platform is a foreign policy expert, philosopher and psychologist today.
Step away when you feel it becoming too much. You don't have to fight with everyone or give them the power to steal your energy.
Some of you are ready for that first break now
Trump openly frames military force as a commercial acquisition tool. You canβt credibly argue limited self defense, LE action, narrow authorization, or emergency necessity while simultaneously describing infrastructure takeover, profit generation, corporate involvement, and follow-on strikes.
π§΅Hope everyone realizes that Trump just got us into a long, protracted war.
Controlling all the oil infrastructure in Venezuela, in the jungle, is a long-term, high-manpower operation.
And will start to become costly when they get back to guerrilla war and insurgency operations.
This may turn out to be Trump is the dog & Maduro is the car.
Hereβs the scathing statement from @markwarner.bsky.social, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Have the day you voted for.
This is why Marco is there, btw. Stephen Miller wanted to bomb Mexico and it didnβt work, so they pivoted to Venezuela bc Marco thinks itβll bring down Cuba. The oil part was to get Donnie Two Scoops on board
βCuba is run by senile, incompetent menβ says Marco Rubio in perhaps one of the most ironic statements ever uttered.
β’Venezuelaβs VP is still giving press conferences
β’very unclear how much of the other leadership is hanging around
β’not clear at all if there are US troops on the ground (which would, you know, constitute the occupation part)
I was at dinner last night and one of the attendees is a black farmer in NC he was talking about the vast changes they had to make going back to a Trump regime and how much easier life was under Biden and how it would be under Kamala, βif we had Kamala Harris I could rest alot moreβ.
Chairman JCOS: βMonths of planningβ¦β
soooo not an imminent threat justifying self-defense
War has always been the refuge of failed leadership. When presidents canβt deliver dignity at home, they export chaos elsewhere.
Empire always claims itβs enforcing law. Indigenous people know itβs enforcing access. #Oil #Venezuela
Dan:
You can cut words two and three of that sentence.
Heβs having a really hard time reading. Heβs gotten lost and re-read his previous sentence twice now.
Trump says he doesnβt know where Machado is nor he has talked to her. Says she is a very nice woman, βbut she has no support or respect by people of Venezuelaβ.
This should go well./s
Every accusation is a confession.
Hey Press Corps! Ask him why he pardoned one countries government from his conviction of drug crimes and then did this.
Cowards.
This is when we see who is serious about their oath & who isnβt. This President continues to exceed his powers because Republicans care more about a pat on the head than they do being patriots. OUR TROOPS, OUR LAND, OUR CITIZENS, & OUR STANDING IN THE WORLD are all being put at risk!

Fascinating to me that NPR is going with the Secretary of War nomenclature.
Trump just said in his address to the nation that our military action in Venezuela was "an attack on sovereignty."
Hegseth dropped an F-bomb then immediately went on about how "deadly serious" they are.
"Black Cocaine"

I left a message for each of them this morning. I didnβt work from a script, but I did say something to each of the senators about needing to βredeem themselvesβ after confirming Marco Rubio and tons of other Trump appointees.
Remember?? Hmm π€
