BASH: There's no question that Maduro was a destabilizing force in the region. People are celebrating in the streets all over. Is it fair to say there's some benefit in him not being in power?

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

An 80 year old pervert going on TV to slur monotonously about the illegal invasion he just did. The logical endpoint of our political development over the last 50 years

The doctors chosen by a criminal fraud who knowingly surrounded himself with criminals willing to lie, commit crimes, and fall on a grenade for him said he's in good mental health, so that should totally be "okay" for everyone to believe. Right.

"If conservatives want someone to blame for the conditions that allowed for massive alleged fraud in Minnesota, they need only look in the mirror. They built this, and they spent years doing it." — @snipy.bsky.social
The blame for alleged fraud in Minnesota belongs to conservatives
Privatization and a lack of oversight creates a vicious cycle.

I’m happy for Indiana, they’re terrific. But a little Fernando Mendoza goes a long way. Really good player, but God doesn’t care who wins football games. I think Mendoza’s going to drive teammates crazy in the NFL with the rah rah crap.
