On emergency power, constitutional preservation, and the regime crisis now unfolding

The Confederacy is ruling America.
The thing is, the majority of Americans are going about their day, mostly tuning this all out, not realizing how bad it really is. It's going to get gnarly as more of the population becomes aware of the precarity of their world.

We are now at the "pillaging" phase. Donald Trump is the Genghis Khan of the 21st Century.
Trump: “I am pleased to announce that the Interim Authorities in Venezuela will be turning over between 30 and 50 MILLION Barrels of High Quality, Sanctioned Oil, to the United States of America. This Oil will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, as President”

You block a roadway for a protest, you go to jail. You shut down the Congress to prevent the peaceful transition of power, and you get a presidential pardon. Got it.

You just know the level of financial crimes right now in the US and internationally, with the administration having gutted enforcement (so that they can themselves commit financial crimes) is going to mean years (if not decades) of unravelling super-scandals.

I think Newt Gingrich is a terrible person. I think the man played no small part in creating this corrupt monster that the GOP became. In fact, I hate Newt Gingrich, and may history remember him as a crooked man who sold out the republic to the highest bidder.

Does anyone else not enjoy the grand irony of the observation that the so-called "anti-imperialists" helped bring about the creation of the most menacingly imperialist regime in US history? I simply can't get over that, personally.

I love America and I am ashamed at what has become of it. I pledge to live my life committed to leaving her in better shape for future generations. Because they deserve better than this. This is pathetic. This is shameful. This is wrong.

I think these are very good questions, actually!
My question is whether Trump believes that happened. Maybe his top officials are trying to placate him without starting a major war.
It's kind of insane how the administration and its compliant media sold the casual news consumer the notion that regime change had happened in Caracas, and that the US was going to run the country. And we know this is very much not the case. This is called propaganda.

There's a lot of really smart people in the commentariat class who just have no idea how political power really works in the real world. And it blinds them to both danger and opportunity.

No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment.

It appears there's been no mass celebrations in Caracas. Actual reporting from on-the-ground journalists from around the world, show a city that is eerily quiet and apprehensive, with people scared about what is about to happen.

Maduro's case is going to end up before the Supreme Court very quickly. Because he's almost certainly going to claim sovereign immunity, which most legal scholars believe is a feature of US federal law through our common-law inheritance. This has been understood for 249 years.

I predicted that Machado would get thrown under the bus after working with Trump to depose Maduro two months ago! Sad!
