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.

So hey, Sad Trombone Karl is currently is currently attempting to brigade a queer person whom he is also misgendering. If you aren't hip to his bullshit and still follow him, now would be an excellent time to cut that chord.
Periodic reminder that Sad Trombone Karl is just some dude with an undergrad degree and a blog who ripped off most of his “social philosophy” wholesale from someone else, masquerades as an academic online for the purposes of clout-farming outrage, and weaponizes blocklists to serve his grievances.
Lol people need to fucking relax

They say you are never more than six feet away from a rat at any point but I often *feel* more than six feet away from my closest rat, who is very emotionally distant.

We asked the White House for responses to several specific false claims by Trump about Jan 6
White House instead responded with a statement critical of media

the southern district of new york is who brought the indictment against maduro on behalf of the trump admin, which imo is the biggest alarm bell of this whole story (second to the whole “i guess we’re just kidnapping heads of state we dislike now” thing)

Everyone is agitated that Grok keeps sexualizing photos of women and children for users and ignoring that it is also editing photos in more modest ways, like putting women in, uh, Nazi uniforms.

Punitive processes make narrowly targeted programs *less* efficient and *more* costly. Because more scrutiny requires more bureaucracy.
Punitive processes also make it *less* likely that people will get aid for which they qualify. Because of the roadblocks and stigma scrutiny creates.

Right.
If you want a good explanation of why the American system of government worked well enough for 200 years and then suddenly stopped, it's because Republicans in Congress suddenly started letting their partisan interests COMPLETELY override their institutional interests

a lot of problems wouldn't exist if we had a congress with even an ounce of self interest
Honestly insane they didn't brief the gang of eight until it was underway

This week, every Senator will have the opportunity to vote for or against the use of military force against Venezuela.
I am voting AGAINST any war with Venezuela.
Congress must rein in this corrupt and dangerous President IMMEDIATELY.

"This was approved because OLC said it falls inside the President's inherent Art II powers and nothing else" should get anyone's spidey sense up, but it won't, which is a part of the problem
That's the thing, though: this ain't My Lai where there is a particular guy pointing at civilians and pulling the trigger.
Some JAG briefs "this mission is approved by congress under the 2001 AUMF" and then what? Every helicopter pilot "does their own research" to see if that's true?

She worked with Rubio didn’t she
"Senior Venezuelan government officials, led by Vice President Delcy Rodríguez...have quietly promoted a series of initiatives in recent months aimed at presenting themselves to Washington as a “more acceptable” alternative to Nicolás Maduro’s regime...funneled through intermediaries in Qatar."
Exclusive: Venezuelan leaders offered U.S. a path to stay in power without Maduro
Delcy and Jorge Rodríguez used Doha backchannels to offer Washington a 'Cartel Light' plan for a managed Venezuela transition that keeps chavismo in power.

I also think the discussion would be more fruitful if they acknowledged that distinction, because that would get at the heart of it: there's a lot of things for which "that was bad, dumb, probably illegal, and if you want to stop it elect better leaders" is in fact (unfortunately) the right answer

My position on impeachment is the same as it was six months ago: Impeachment is first about driving public attention to Trump’s crimes and corruption.
Democrats should introduce impeachment articles and force votes to boost their parallel media effort.
Performative public investigations matter.

Why push for impeachment?
Because politics is an exercise in moving public opinion as much as counting votes in the senate.
The Jan 6 Hearings were not a criminal proceeding against Trump that would end in jail, but they focused public attention.

Pretty obvious that Trump has no geopolitical strategy whatsoever but in his kindergarten mind he simply wants to be able to bully other world leaders. There's no plan for Venezuela and there never has been. He just found a big boy who would listen to his orders and beat up the other kids for him.
