I never workshop any of my dumb posts. That’s the Elliot Blake™️ social media guarantee.
i'm generally pretty live and let live about social media as long as no one is actively being harmed, but i am never gonna be able to take "collectively workshopped and artisanally-crafted shitposting for cloutmaxing purposes" seriously, i'm sorry
This just seems like the right thing to keep pinned to my profile.

Insecure, thin-skinned, and jealous. He’s never going to win a Nobel Peace Prize, and he knows it, so now he’s just going to fuck up other countries to make himself feel better. You can almost hear him bitterly say, “They won’t give me a peace prize, so they can give me a war prize instead.”
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.

One thing all Democrats running in 2026 and 2028 should be explicit about is a promise that regardless of pardons, the crimes committed by everyone in this administration will be investigated and published.

In 2026, I will not be suffering a SINGLE FOOL who tries to say this administration’s attack on science and public health has some good will under the hood.
This is directly meant to dismantle vaccination as an intervention.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), run by Oz and his boss, RFK Jr., will no longer require physicians to report vaccination rates.
Instead, they plan to start having doctors report if they’ve discussed “alternative” vaccine schedules.

To force healthcare professionals to discuss an objectively harmful “alternative” vaccine schedule with their patients is disgraceful.
In his post crowing about this idiocy, RFK Jr. states that doctors are “coerced” into recommending vaccines and are “penalized” for “respecting patient choice”.

Bullshit. Trump doesn’t do anything for the benefit of other people. I’m thinking this was done because he wanted it done so he’d look like a tough guy and wouldn’t shut up about it, and Hegseth liked the idea of killing people. And maybe he gets a taste of oil revenue.
WELKER: If the purpose of the operation was to capture Maduro and bring him to justice, why does the US need to take over the Venezuela oil industry?
RUBIO: Well, we don't *need* to. We have plenty of oil in the US. We want to see the oil proceeds of the country benefit the people of Venezuela.

So it increasingly appears Trump just made up the idea that he was in charge of Venezuela. Made it up. Confabulated it. Confirming he is not aware of what is happening around him, and should no longer be in this job. Can't walk this one back peeps.
Yeah, people are fixating on a Cabinet Secretary being given a sovereign country to run because the president waged war without congressional approval and kidnapped the old leader. Weird that they’d get hung up on that.
WELKER: Mr. Secretary, are you running Venezuela right now?
MARCO RUBIO: Yeah. People are fixating on that. Here's the bottom line -- we expect to see changes in Venezuela

This quote has stuck with me since I first read it in 2004. Never forgot it, never will. The hubris of it remains galling after all these years.
Was thinking of this Bush-era line a lot today, after I was done amusing myself looking up all the freakasses who called Trump antiwar or dovish, when he's just another bloodthirsty piggish neocon.

Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.
Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.

Make no mistake, 2001-2005 was awful, but yes, this moment is so much worse.
It’s sobering to look back on the run-up to the Iraq war—a period of unceasing chattering-class debate, elaborate official lies, media complicity, unavailing global protest, in the end a giant stitch-up—and have it seem like some sort of paradise of public deliberation compared to these gangsters.

What if, @schumer.senate.gov, Trump’s invasion of Venezuela isn’t a distraction at all, it’s just a thing he’s done because he could? Not everything he does is a distraction from something else. He has ill intent on multiple fronts, and you should start acting like it.

This is how it's done. If incumbent Democrats won't do the job, their primary challengers can and will use this to make sure someone else does
The Republican Congress has chosen to give away its authority and power and now we are being told Trump plans to occupy Venezuela. We don't cry for Maduro. We demand the following of our laws and Constitution. He is already threatening Mexico and Cuba will be next. Ann Wagner is silent.
