I think the reason JD Vance is such a vile human being is because he's stereotypical white trash from a long line of stereotypical white trash, and this is how he copes with the shame.

I finally figured out Trump's economic philosophy. It's mercantilism.
You know, the system that the world moved past in the 19th century.

I'm more angry than scared. Because the really crazy thing is that nothing happens next.
Venezuela can't fight back.
We won't invade. (Trump never follows through.)
Congress is too afraid of Trump to do anything.
The international community is too afraid of the US to do anything.
This is normal now.

Don't worry guys, it's only a *war* if Congress declares it. Technically this is just sparkling international conflict.
But seriously, how can he just do this? How did the entire military chain of command go along with it? This is clearly outside of the president's constitutional authority.
