"The Republican party is an outright enemy of democratic interests around the world" is an objectively true statement and something that I don't know if the current crop of Dem pols are gonna be able to fully embrace

Statement from Cato VP Clark Neily: Courts probably won't rule against the rendition. Yet Trump has chosen to bypass the constitutional provisions designed to cabin the president's powers in using force against other countries. And an indictment does not supply him with those powers.

So much of American history is just impulsive and extremely stupid elites, who don't believe in consequences because they have never personally experienced them, doing highly consequential stuff because they're bored or believe it might make them richer. I guess a lot of our culture, too.

Whether or not they played a role in what happened overnight, 2020 election conspiracy theories continue to loom large in Trump's thinking about Venezuela.
Venezuela’s 2024 election “wasn’t a hell of a lot worse than what they did to us in 2020," Trump said today.

“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

A side story is there’s a ton of insider trading on these prediction markets. New accounts making hundreds of thousands on their first and only trade, that maduro would be ousted. Seems like insider trading is legal if not encouraged on these platforms

Incredible. The Trump-Vance admin just posted a video promoting their bombing of Venezuela.
…And it is set to the song “Fortunate Son” — which is explicitly about the rich and powerful starting wars under the flag of hollow patriotism, and then making the rest of America pay the consequences.

i know this is a very serious situation but it is kind of funny watching rubio, hegseth, & the other boys in the background start to shift uncomfortably, darting their eyes around the room in silent growing panic as the president drifts from topic to topic instead of focusing on the war he started
