I just don't want to be so negative about my club. Sorry folks if trying to find the good in things is grating. It's just the way my brain is wired.

From repurposed footage filmed years ago in different parts of the world, to AI images and videos of Maduro's arrest, social media platforms like X, Instagram and TikTok were flooded with disinformation within minutes of America's assault on #Venezuela

Expecting the @washingtonpost.com editorial board to be anything other than a cheerleader for Trump's worst policies is a failure to comprehend what it's purpose is.

But that is different than the reporting staff, which has done excellent work especially on Trump's warmongering.

Trump on María Corina Machado: "I think it'd be very tough for her to be the leader. She doesn't have the support or the respect within the country. She's a very nice woman but she doesn't have the respect."

Q: You said that Maduro is responsible for drug trafficking. You recently pardoned the former president of Honduras who was convicted of drug trafficking. How are these situations different?

TRUMP: This was a man who was persecuted very unfairly by Biden. Obviously the people liked what I did

Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."

Moulton: "The parallels with Iraq are unmistakeable. Bush said there was WMD in Iraq. Turns out that was a lie. Trump just made up fentanyl being WMD, which doesn't even come from Venezuela, just to justify this war. We said this wasn't about regime change, but it is."

So yes there are legit questions today about who is in fact running Venezuela and whether Trump actually understands what is happening right now....

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

“Far from acknowledging the dangers of a Trump presidency…., the likes of Farage and Johnson have actively sought to assist him, while personally profiting by association.”

Traitors all. They do us nothing but harm. Just how many times do we need to be warned?

you cannot blockade a country and bomb its capital cities and capture its leader without being at war with it, is the thing
Are we at war with Venezuela?!?

I don't know. You don't know either.

It sure would be nice to have a legitimate Pentagon press corps right about now.

Rules-based international order has had a rough couple of decades, but this pretty much ends it entirely. Both the strikes and the capture of Maduro are also blatant violations of US domestic law too, of course.
