The aging pedophile who wants to be a king has kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation without congressional approval.
If the United States had an opposition party, they would treat this as an illegitimate act and start impeachment proceedings immediately.

it's darkly humorous to listen to Trump and his cronies reference the fact that Maduro was indicted in SDNY as evidence he's a dictator and overall bad guy

Trump said on "Truth Social" the other day that his "real" approval rating is 64%. He is a liar. It is 40% (56% disapprove).
It is important to call out authoritarians when they try to manufacture consent for their unpopular agendas. Remind people how unpopular he is.

So my wife did the only rational thing left. Today, she canceled our policy. As of January 1, we’re uninsured.
This isn’t a reckless decision. It’s a calculated one.

Last night I set up my telescope so we could all watch the planets while waiting for the new year to arrive.
After the fireworks had subsided, I attached my camera and captured my first astrophoto of the year featuring Jupiter and its moon Europa. #astrophotography
Happy New Year everyone!
