I don’t understand how the first reaction from leadership isn’t “This is an impeachable offense. My colleagues must defund Hegseth and begin drafting articles immediately.”

Like, even if it doesn’t get done, how are you not planting this flag in the ground immediately?

Maduro was a brutal ruler, it’s true. So is Putin—who Trump supports. So was Bolsonaro, who Trump supports. So was the drug-trafficking former head of Honduras, who Trump just pardoned. So is Nayib Bukele in El Salvador. MBS. Bibi.

Stop pretending Trump cares about illegitimacy or brutality.

Interesting, isn’t it, how U.S. corporate media doesn’t bother asking Venezuelans what they think of being invaded by the U.S.?

Elon Musk, who personally intervened to reinstate Dom Lucre after sharing child porn on Twitter, has developed an AI model designed to produce child porn. He also spent $200m to elect Jeffrey Epstein's best friend as president.

These all seem connected.

I'm so tired of the american military complex and the devastating real impacts of the lie of american exceptionalism.

I grieve that people in power who don't know peace in their own hearts spew their bitter bile upon the world. This is not the way to peace. War and violence are failures.

ICYMI: Today, the United States of America, under the direction of a mentally unstable president, attacked Venezuela, a sovereign nation, kidnapped its leader and his wife, and declared they are now running the country.

It’s exactly as insane as it sounds.

The aging pedophile who wants to be a king has kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation without congressional approval.

If the United States had an opposition party, they would treat this as an illegitimate act and start impeachment proceedings immediately.

I'm losing track of how many countries a man livid he wasn't given the Nobel Peace Prize has illegally bombed.

Iran. Venezuela. Nigeria. Afghanistan. Iraq. Libya. Pakistan. Somalia. Syria. Yemen.

Not to mention threatening to annex Greenland and Canada and invade Panama.

What the United States did in Venezuela is prohibited under international law, which bars the use of force as an instrument of national policy.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

It’s insane: a convicted criminal who trafficked raped multiple 13-year-olds and murdered a baby), pardoned billion-dollar fraudsters and a drug trafficker who pipelined 400 tonnes of cocaine to the U.S. & caused an insurrection is using the military to arrest a world leader he accuses of crimes.

What the KENNEDY Center used to be…

Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

White House fraud up 10,000%, caused by people who came here illegally from Germany. ‘President’ Drumpf, an ungrateful loser who only complains and never contributes, a lowlife scammer. Did he really have sex with his daughter? Send him back to where he came from.
