You ever think about how the Roman Senate kept meeting centuries into the reigns of emperors. Hanging out, shooting the shit, giving speeches, and play-acting that their positions of privilege remained positions of power.

This is not a SCIF. A SCIF is not hardened by drapery.
Trump is posting a bunch of photos without captions, presumably of him watching the Maduro kidnapping.
Is this the inside of a SCIF at Mar-a-Lago or did they just toss up some pipe and drape?

For those keeping track at home: Since Christmas Eve the United States has bombed or carried out raids in Syria, Somalia, Nigeria and now Venezuela. And Congress' response has ranged from nothing to support.

Can’t believe I skeeted this BEFORE he said that the U.S. is going to occupy Venezuela
thinking about how, in the Russian history elective I took in HS, every time a tsar was facing domestic weakness the teacher would turn to the assembled students and ask "so what is it time for?" and we would chant "stunning territorial annexation!" and she would respond "well, DUH, girls"

I remember when they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty.

Kidnapping Maduro and taking over Venezuela would be illegal even if Congress had authorized it.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Trump openly says the US is now running Venezuela and we will be sending the US oil companies in to take the oil. Not even a hint of subtlety. Trump just ordered regime change to steal the oil for his oil oligarchs. Period!

Most of the derangement about Mamdani is for the obvious reasons but part of it is also that a surprising amount of people were committed to the Cuomo rehabilitation project because they hated the idea that anything could have consequences for men of the right class.

Iran, on the ground reporting: Plainclothes regime repression agents speaking Arabic … not Persian.
This means the Islamic regime in Iran has recruited and dispatched Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthi and Iraqi Shia mercenaries to assist in quashing the Iranian people’s uprising.
