Somehow I always thought that being on the right side of history would probably feel better than this.
I need some escapist entertainment right now. Like an alt-history TV show depiction of the timeline where Jimmy Carter won a second term and Ronald Reagan was never President.

If we can capture another country's president, can another country come and capture ours? Asking for a friend.

legality aside, it’s actually very impressive that trump was able to personally plan such a complex operation while also hand-selecting the perfect marble for the new armrests at the trump-kennedy center. and I think that dynamism will resonate with the american people

Hakeem Jeffries is absolutely worthless. His only demand is that Dems get a briefing on what just happened.

Next time you look at your greatly increased monthly bill for healthcare, remember that Republicans chose to use the money set aside for supplements to defray your costs to, instead, invade Venezuela to make ExxonMobil even richer.

Thank them with your votes.

Hegseth is an unstable attention addict playing tough and Trump wanted a situation room photo like Obama got. Perfect match. They ran the raid from Mar a Lago, dawg. He probably flipped open that curtain like the Phantom of the Opera and started bragging to the nearest busboy

Thinking about the libertarians who insisted, prior to the election, that Trump was the "hold your nose and vote for him over Harris" candidate because, among other things, he'd practice more foreign policy restraint.

Feels like the president has done some impeachable offenses. If only we had a Constitutional process to deal with such things.

In retrospect, I guess we should have anticipated this unfortunate downside of building a highway to the danger zone. And letting a senile idiot drive.

If you let him get away with this, he’ll do it with Iran and whatever other neocon bugaboos have been lingering around conservative media since Obama first started running. Maybe Greenland but less intense because white. One of them will invariably respond in the mainland U.S. Stop him before then.

It isn't about fentanyl.

If so, he would've attacked Mexico and China.

It isn't about drug trafficking.

If so, he wouldn't have pardoned the President of Honduras.

It isn't about election integrity.

If so, he wouldn't have tried to steal an election here.

It's. About. The. Oil.

Trump has burned our standing to ash. After this, we cannot condemn Putin in Ukraine or block China from Taiwan. Power without law is rot. The light we claimed for democracy is shattered. This was the straw that broke us. We have entered the darkest reflection of ourselves. #TrumpRegime
