Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.

Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

Trump’s America is just America without the good grammar of civility and the deployment of decorum masking agendas of cruelty.
Trump's America is just America without the pretense.

I love how no one is even remembering the Venezuelans under bombs and rubble because discussing the legality of it all is more important

Spineless piece of shit
I have spoken with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and our Ambassador in Caracas. The EU is closely monitoring the situation in Venezuela.

The EU has repeatedly stated that Mr Maduro lacks legitimacy and has defended a peaceful transition. (1/2)

trump is the logical consequence of the US. none of this is qualitatively new, it’s just more condensed, more extreme, more blatant, but fascism was always just below the surface of the american way of life, MAGA is just more honest and outspoken about it than democratic presidents.
