Trump is so far beyond pathetic. I was half joking in telling people jealousy over the Nobel Peace Prize was the reason Trump passed over Machado, but it turns out that it was more than joke. What a goddamn buffoon we have in the White House, and all the Republicans have to bow down to him.
WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

My position on impeachment is the same as it was six months ago: Impeachment is first about driving public attention to Trump’s crimes and corruption.
Democrats should introduce impeachment articles and force votes to boost their parallel media effort.
Performative public investigations matter.

Why push for impeachment?
Because politics is an exercise in moving public opinion as much as counting votes in the senate.
The Jan 6 Hearings were not a criminal proceeding against Trump that would end in jail, but they focused public attention.

A CBS News staffer told me this after Tony Dokoupil kicked off his CBS Evening News tenure tonight with a lengthy Pete Hegseth interview:
"If this is what Bari and Tony’s CBS Evening News is going to look like, then the we may as well just call ourselves Trump Administration State TV. Pathetic."

They can try opposition. For a start.

Some Democrats hate that their party is largely positioning itself in opposition to the operation that resulted in Maduro's capture.

I don’t understand how the first reaction from leadership isn’t “This is an impeachable offense. My colleagues must defund Hegseth and begin drafting articles immediately.”
Like, even if it doesn’t get done, how are you not planting this flag in the ground immediately?

Trump and MAGA are a criminal gang. Democrats should keep impeaching the head of that gang to make it clear that Republicans are an active part of the criminal gang. Not impeaching simply makes it easier for him.

One thing is clear watching Trump speak on Venezuela: He is NOT in control of the federal government. He is a puppet. His cognitive decline is worse by the day. He is no longer competent. Every order he signs must be deemed invalid and illegitimate.

Bombing another country and kidnapping its leader would also be wrong with Congressional approval. The outrage, and call for impeachment, should be over the evil and illegal outcome not merely the failure to follow the prescribed process.
