The U.S. invasion of Venezuela is authoritarian bullshit 101. It does several things for Trump:
Distracts from the abject failure of their policies
Throws red meat to the base by blowing shit up and waving the flag abroad
Lends pretext for further erosion of civil rights and democratic governance

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

I am telling you that a large part of their dysfunction is that several Trump officials imagine themselves, constantly, as being in a social media sizzle reel where they display status and dominance over others. Their online personas are driving their actual behavior.
