the administration wants to frame this (bizarrely) as law enforcement. but if law enforcement conducted a raid for a suspect and killed 40 people, including an unknown number of unarmed civilians, it would be treated as a clear disaster like Waco.
NYT:
At least 40 people were killed in the US attack on Venezuela, including military personnel and civilians.

Trump captured Maduro. Now the U.S. owns what happens next in Venezuela.
President Trump says that we will 'run' the South American country after toppling President Maduro. Why? And what’s next? Americans deserve answers.

It is not just the corruption of Trump pardoning someone who was making him richer. It is also a two-tier justice system where the rich can buy freedom.

It would’ve been infinitely better (and have a longer life) if it was a new monster of the week or season with the kids solving it. Xfiles on bikes. These shows need to remember if they can stay small they can last longer.
Stranger Things started out as a fun, clever, well-made little distraction from the hellscape of 2016. Then we all started living full-time in the Upside Down, a franchise-thirsty streamer stretched one season's worth of story into four, and—much like our brains—the show never recovered.
