After only 1 year in office, fascist felon Trump creates war with Venezuela, as if to prove he is in league with Satan himself, gaslighting Americans about "narco-terrorists," while the real reason for bloodshed is to reward the oligarchy with 300 billion barrels of untapped oil.

Here's how Rubio described the "plan" for tRump to "run Venezuela" for the time being:
"The president always retains optionality on anything and on all of these matters"
Whut?

I had a LOT of things in my list of “inevitable shit shows” when white people decided that trump was their guy AGAIN in 24.
Kidnapping a foreign president was not on that list, I must confess.
If we’re going around kidnapping dictatorial presidents I know one who’s available to be kidnapped.

Pay attention to the vote from democratic senators on the next impeachment brought forth.
Pay attention to how many democratic senators vote with the GOP to enable the dictator.
No, he won't be impeached.
We have spineless corrupted democratic representatives in office.
Read that again.

Something that has been rattling me all morning is temporary situation room at Magalago.
They were just using curtains and using X social media.
They weren’t even using a SCIF.

I’m going to show up in person to vote this year. No mail in ballot that can be compromised by this group of traitors. If I have to stand for hours, I will. We all must.

The more I see from DJT, the more I see a teenager given a gun. Without any gun safety instructions. So he thinks the “Department of War” is the gun, and whatever he believes, real or not, is enough reason to pull the trigger. He is directing an attack on a Sovereign State!

This new war is not only illegal, reckless and deeply corrupt, it is the latest in a series of increasingly desperate distractions from the EPSTEIN Files.

Maduro's inner circle remains in place. VP Rodriguez was in Russia getting orders, yet she's getting a pass? Meanwhile, Trump’s sidelining Machado? I guess dedicating her Nobel to him wasn't enough to make up for 'stealing' his prize. Is this a transition or just a new boss for the same old system?

While we have plenty of oil in the US, it is the wrong grade and chemical makeup for processing into things like gasoline and diesel fuel in US refineries. Venezuela's oil is a perfect match

WELKER: If the purpose of the operation was to capture Maduro and bring him to justice, why does the US need to take over the Venezuela oil industry?
RUBIO: Well, we don't *need* to. We have plenty of oil in the US. We want to see the oil proceeds of the country benefit the people of Venezuela.

NOW: Trump says "We’re going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition."
Translation: Trump kidnapped the democratically elected leader, bombed civilians, and has decided he is in control.
This is colonial rule.
