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.

So, I have seen this called out multiple times. My bad for not knowing you're Black.

β€˜We’re Not Afraid of Boots on the Ground’: Trump Suggests US Troops May Be Deployed to Ensure Venezuela is β€˜Run Properly’ President Donald Trump did not discount the idea of keeping U.S. troops on the ground in Venezuela as the U.S. ushers in regime change.

Congratulations to all the folks that said HRC and KDH were going to start endless wars and didn’t vote for them. 🀑

Honorable mention for β€œboth sides are the same” people too. 🫠

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.

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.

Trump openly frames military force as a commercial acquisition tool. You can’t 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.

🧡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.

Here’s the scathing statement from @markwarner.bsky.social, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee.

This is why Marco is there, btw. Stephen Miller wanted to bomb Mexico and it didn’t work, so they pivoted to Venezuela bc Marco thinks it’ll bring down Cuba. The oil part was to get Donnie Two Scoops on board

β€œCuba is run by senile, incompetent men” says Marco Rubio in perhaps one of the most ironic statements ever uttered.

β€’Venezuela’s 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, β€œif we had Kamala Harris I could rest alot moreβ€œ.

War has always been the refuge of failed leadership. When presidents can’t deliver dignity at home, they export chaos elsewhere.

Empire always claims it’s enforcing law. Indigenous people know it’s enforcing access. #Oil #Venezuela

He’s having a really hard time reading. He’s gotten lost and re-read his previous sentence twice now.

Trump says he doesn’t know where Machado is nor he has talked to her. Says she is a very nice woman, β€œbut she has no support or respect by people of Venezuela”.

This is when we see who is serious about their oath & who isn’t. 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!

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.

I left a message for each of them this morning. I didn’t work from a script, but I did say something to each of the senators about needing to β€œredeem themselvesβ€œ after confirming Marco Rubio and tons of other Trump appointees.
