Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Our military personnel should reject this nonsense. There is no way they should be following orders of a criminal who is dragging them into a war for no reason. I’m pretty sure this is not congress approved attacks therefore making it illegal.

Trump vetoed 2 unanimously passed bills: 1) providing clean drinking water to 50,000 rural CO & 2) preventing flooding in FL tribal area.
Why?
1) Boebert sought Epstein files release & Gov Polis refused to pardon Trump-favored election worker Tina Peters
2) Tribe joined “Alligator Alcatraz” suit.

Bill Barr's father wrote a 1973 novel glorifying oligarchs who traffic teenage girls for sex slavery while running Dalton School. Then hired 21-year-old college dropout Epstein to teach teens. Decades later, his son declares Epstein's death suicide. But sure, no reason Barr would lie.

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.
