I sure would hate to be an oil-rich country whose sovereignty the US doesn't recognize within easy striking distance of US soil. That would be scary!

very rad that there's a non-trivial chance we're bombing venezeula because some white house staffer saw a chance to make a quick buck by betting on war then egged trump into launching this attack
This person went on a buying spree over the past 24 hours. Fresh wallet. Only existed since Dec 27th and has only bet on Venezuela-related markets.

He even got a green-light for oil from Maduro diplomatically, this isn't about oil, it's for fancams and dick-swinging and that's even more damning than a goddamn resource war.

A lot of us having been saying for years that oceans are battlefields. Welcome I guess, but don’t act like it’s big news.

it's a real symptom of widespread anti-progressive media bias that an explicitly progressive candidate is expected to feel a need to be apologetic about being progressive.
It's so weird to say a politician "doubled down" on.....the very explicit promises he made during the campaign?
Isn't that what promises are?

A friend who utterly betrays you is always hated more than someone who’s always been an enemy. For people on the left - particularly with immigrant family, friends and colleagues - this feels like a complete betrayal.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
