Why are career military officers allowing this to happen? I guess they didn't take their oath seriously. This is like, not all police are bad. Yes all police are BAD as long as they allow BAD police to be among them. All military officers are bad if they don't stand up to Drunk petey.

Again. We are a disgrace.
Wow, just got put of the Nicolas Maduro arraignment at the Southern District of New York in downtown Manhattan.
The most dramatic part was when the judge asked him how he pleaded.
He stood up and said: “Soy inocente. No soy culpable. Soy un hombre decente. President constitucional de mi país.”

Shout out to all of the complete fucking media idiots and liars like Glenn Greenwald, Aaron Mate, and others who called Trump a peacemaker and relentlessly cheered Tulsi Gabbard and declared her a brave opponent of regime change wars.
Tulsi Gabbard in 2019:
"The United States needs to keep our hands off Venezuela... end these destructive and wasteful regime change wars... proven to cause more problems, increase suffering, increase instability for the people in the countries where we wage these wars. In Latin America especially".
