Trump openly told oil execs in 2024 that he'd govern in their naked financial interests if they raised $1 billion for his campaign. He's now taking this further, telling them they'll reap great riches if they buy into his vision of imperial hemispheric dominance. 5/

Some Democrats hate that their party is largely positioning itself in opposition to the operation that resulted in Maduro's capture.
"Everything Trump touches must be bad according to the base," one House Dem told @axios.com
Said another: "It looks weak." www.axios.com/2026/01/04/m...

Army strategists exist to fill this void but funnily enough, they have to be listened to in order to be efficacious. Most 3 and 4 star headquarters wall them off from actual decision-making and have them manage processes, while the Army chief of staff wants to get rid of them entirely

Hey, national Dems on this here b”site, I see a lot of you are having trouble describing objective reality. Here’s a freebie:
“Donald Trump is an adjudicated crook, rapist, and now a war criminal. We will stand against everything he tries to do, and will hold EVERYONE who enables him accountable.”

I am 63, so I have seen a lot of US military actions over those years. Some were good ideas, and some were not.
But this might be the most stupid, disgraceful, and lawless one on the list. It hurts the US and makes the world less safe, and for what?
Trump is a menace. To all of us.

The President does not have power to wage war. He was already guilty of child sexual abuse & ripping the Constitution to shreds, & now, he’s a mass murderer.
Impeachment, conviction & removal are not enough. Trump & his enablers must be punished. No War in Venezuela. New York Nuremberg instead.

Per reporting- US officials confirm that the United States launched military strikes on Venezuela, these bombings serving as a hideous extension of the regime’s illegal murders at sea.

There was a time when just one of those was my meal for the day.
FOR THE DAY.
In my 20s, I was close to being unhoused. I'd have $2.13 food $ for in between college classes and a part time warehouse job, that I used for a $0.99 burger and $0.99 soda. That was my lunch and dinner for months.

Finally, Trump's diet! Oh my god. The piece closes with RNC Chair Joe Gruters saying he was "shocked" to witness Trump eat "french fries, a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder hamburger, a Big Mac and a Filet-O-Fish" in one sitting (5/6)

Why are appliances all going "smart"?!? Seriously. I just want to open the printer app, scan and save, then close it.
Not one GD thing more.

Great. Next time I come across a Clinton rally, someone wearing a Clinton hat, or flying a Clinton flag on their truck, I’ll be sure to let them know.
The rest of us want them ALL held accountable because we aren’t in a cult. Hope that helps.

Epstein redactions aren't believable, and they are valuable to fascists specifically because they aren't believable.
Fascists prefer lies to truth. Believing in a lie is preferable to believing a truth, if what you want is to dominate.
Believing lies dominates truth. So they believe lies.
