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.

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.
Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.
And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.
Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.
It's a power grab.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

Denmark lost more troops per capita in the post 9/11 war on Afghanistan. Saying they “are not a good ally” because they won’t surrender their territories to the US is lunacy. We are betraying our allies to satisfy the whims of a would-be Emperor for whom the US is not enough.

ICE was founded in 2003.
ICE agents spent Christmas Eve arresting a man in a Walmart parking lot—even taking his groceries for themselves.
A bystander asked ICE if she could take down the phone number of his wife to let her know her husband had been detained. The ICE agents refused.

The regime can still do an incredible amount of harm while they’re in power. And, they are in some ways at their most dangerous when they’re at their weakest.
But, we should all take courage from their failures and the many cracks in their coalition. If we keep pushing, we will win.

I had forgotten that someone showed that Gore would have won..
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.
