AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

Linked YouGov also has Venezeula numbers, and as someone who has studied public opinion on uses of force for 30 years.... these are TERRIBLE numbers for a President immediately after a surprise tactical success with strong claims of direct US interests from President. Not just no rally, TERRIBLE
The latest from YouGov (n ~ 2.2k): No one's buying this Greenland shit. Trump loses virtually everyone on the threat of force. He barely gets *half of Republicans* on "purchasing" Greenland.

Nice little country you have here. Be a shame if anything happened to it.
JD Vance: "The way that we control Venezuela is we control the purse strings, we control the energy resources. And we tell the regime, 'You're allowed to sell the oil so long as you serve America's national interests.'"

So look. It’s only been one week, and already the 2026 headlines are mind-spinning. We want to look away, but it’s better to tackle them straight. When we do, we notice something very telling about what’s going on. My write-up in the replies.

If Trump gets what he wants, America's military budget would be equivalent to the 17th-largest economy in the world, smack in between the U.S's fellow democratic backsliding allies Turkey and Indonesia
Trump: "I have determined that, for the Good of our Country, especially in these very troubled and dangerous times, our Military Budget for the year 2027 should not be $1 Trillion Dollars, but rather $1.5 Trillion. This will allow us to build the 'Dream Military' that we have long been entitled to."

Oz: "Alcohol is a social lubricant that brings people together. In the best case scenario, I don't think you should drink alcohol, but it does allow people an excuse to bond and socialize and there's probably nothing healthier than having a good time with friends in a safe way."

Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured.
Trump then pardoned the attackers.
He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.
