Canada needs to keep its guard up. These people are predatory. They won’t stop.
If u do a Google search for “Marc Andreessen and Canada”, this turns up: “Canada will welcome us as liberators”. If you go to X, however, Andreessen (a DOGE advisor) deleted his tweet. I wonder why. 1/

So it was less a daring raid per se than the USA being invited to do the dirty work in an internal coup?
"Senior Venezuelan government officials, led by Vice President Delcy Rodríguez...have quietly promoted a series of initiatives in recent months aimed at presenting themselves to Washington as a “more acceptable” alternative to Nicolás Maduro’s regime...funneled through intermediaries in Qatar."
Exclusive: Venezuelan leaders offered U.S. a path to stay in power without Maduro
Delcy and Jorge Rodríguez used Doha backchannels to offer Washington a 'Cartel Light' plan for a managed Venezuela transition that keeps chavismo in power.

I wonder if the impressionable Americans have caught on that they are a country with a dictator that utilizes military operations to focus vulture investment strategies.

More than six months ago, from me at Law Dork:

Trump is spiraling. We face the consequences. Where are the other branches? James Madison expected more from the other "departments," as he referred to them.

I know things are sped up these days but the amount of Post/Times/WSJ articles that are eliding the "this whole thing is grossly unconstitutional and illegal" question and going straight to the "boy won't it be something if Trump succeeds" stage is nauseating.

The only reason buildings in this country are not burning right now is because we do have hope. And we do have elections and those principles should be available anywhere in the world where they are desired.

Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again

Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

Several people have asked me “how did you know to write this article right before the attack?”

I’ll never tell (it was luck).
Anyone advocating regime change in Venezuela is implicitly advocating for a long, bloody, expensive commitment—whether they acknowledge it or not. ICYMI @markhertling.bsky.social:
What ‘Regime Change’ in Venezuela Would Really Mean
It’s not clear the administration has settled on a goal, much less considered the consequences.

Yes he IS executing blatantly illegal and unconstitutional actions worthy of his being removed from office. Oh, are you not asking those questions, you hollowed-out journalistic sinkhole?
Once a critic of overseas entanglements, President Trump now appears willing to embrace regime change as a tool of American influence, raising questions about whether his “America First” doctrine is being redefined.

There are consequences for injustice. From Napoleon's Address: 1808 Spanish Campaign:
"See how injustice and bad faith ever recoil upon those who are guilty of them." The common denominator of Republican Political Party, is no awareness of consequences. Just wild glee at Rape Pillage and Plunder.

“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.
