Every time you think you have an understanding of the depth of Trump's pathos, you find out you're wrong--and it goes deeper.
WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.

“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

As Trump uses violence abroad and turns America into a global pariah, he’s also threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act at home to give himself dictatorial powers
Q: You pulled the National Guard out of Portland--

TRUMP: We did. And do you know that Portland, we got it down to almost no crime? We're allowed to go back in, but we'll go back in when the crime starts. We may use the Insurrection Act

Denmark is a NATO member state.
Mexico, Colombia, and Venezuela (and Cuba, formally) are OAS member states.
Trump in a single gaggle on Air Force One just threatened:

-- a second strike against Venezuela
-- Cuba
-- Mexico
-- Colombia
-- Iran
-- Greenland (which in turn would be an attack on the EU and Denmark)

So I found out people are now harassing the maker of this mod and calling them a fucking pedophile and a zoophile for THIS.

What the fuck is wrong with people these days?

This is the tamest shit I’ve ever seen. Lola Bunny was racier than this in a G-rated film from the 90s.

I really thought they were going to let the insane Greenland stuff go but I think he’s just Hitler going into Poland. He’s already at historic lows in polling and his health sucks.

Reminder of the origin of the term 'deadname'. The name a trans person gets forcibly buried under by the evil family who never deserved them.
A really sad follow-up to this story — Alexis Erlinmeyer, one of the trans federal intelligence workers who was fired, has died of a pulmonary embolism. She was 31. Her family is burying her under her deadname, so friends are fundraising for an accurate memorial: www.gofundme.com/f/in-memory-...
NEW—In late Feb, Chris Rufo published leaked chats between queer/trans employees at US intel agencies. Then Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said she’d fire all involved.

I spoke to chat members who were fired, are on admin leave, and who kept their jobs about the new lavender scare:

We need to be honest with ourselves and our leaders about Venezuela

We are a rogue state, a global pariah

Trump is ruling as a dictator, period

An axis of evil wants to carve up small, resource-rich nations

The message for 2026 is clear: No kings!

“Oh but if Democrats did that Republicans would just vote it down, wouldn’t convict and would rally their base to defend Trump’s crimes.”

Yeah, okay, make them do that then.

I loathe people like Ezra Klein who is just a public example of the incestuous big establishment club who say and write things like "Charlie Kirk did politics the right way" and have normalized Trump and MAGA for 10 years.

All of them were complicit in this bc it didn't personally affect them.

Administrations have come up with lots of flimsy rationales for why their wars don't need congressional authorization over the years, but this might be the most transparently bad faith and facially absurd.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Why wasn't congressional authorization necessary?

RUBIO: It wasn't necessary because this was not an invasion. We didn't occupy a country. This was an arrest operation.

It's embarrassing that this far in reporters still treat Trump personally lying to them as incredible access.
The essence of this article is that a NY Times reporter called Trump’s cellphone at 4:30am and that Trump answered the call but said nothing of importance, other than wait for the press conference.

Discursively it is always weird to see people, whether it be politicians or just random commentators on here, hedge about the wrongfulness of kidnapping a president because Maduro was dictatorial. So are plenty of others, whom the USG actively loves. I don't see anyone clamoring about el Sisi.

There’s no event too extraordinary for corporate media to change their approach.
absolutely bizarre to see a violent, rogue american regime, which is threatening military attacks on a bunch of major trading partners and close allies, and openly fantasizing about hitler-style wars of territorial conquest, covered in the tone of horse-race political commentary

Maduro was “dancing in front of Venezuelan students… and mimicking Trump’s double-fist pumping dance move. Trump was reportedly not amused, and the dancing is said to have contributed to the decision to remove him from power.”

Suddenly it all makes sense!
