Trump is a moron, he talks like a moron, he knows nothing like a moron. The people who support him are mostly also morons. But instead of making them feel bad for being morons we go on endless kumbayah listening tours where we reassure them they’re doing nothing wrong and we’ll pander even better

Without exaggeration this is a huge part of how we surrendered the country to the worst humans of all time - the left-of-center’s conviction that you can’t be disrespectful to stupid people to has robbed us of the social censure that forces stupid people to stop being stupid
my plan to get this country back on track consists of one bullet point: i propose we stop pretending stupid people arent stupid just because theyre loud and theres a lot of them

So what's his cult going to do now?
He most likely lost Bannon.
He may very well have lost a considerable number of incels.
He may have lost some MAGA vets.
He won over Venezuelan immigrants.
He of course made the talibanjelicals happy.
And of course oil execs.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Well, one things for sure. This will be a put up or shut up moment for the MAGA dumbasses insisting Harris was another Hillary war hawk.

Either the US has a constitution, or it does not.
The Maduro regime posed no threat to the people of the United States. The Trump regime is illegally going to war without authorization.
It’s a distraction from his corruption and his pedophilia scandal.

The entire administration’s justification of everything they do is just
DEEZ NUTS
As Josh points out more coherently this is government justified by, “We wanna do it is why”

Im seeing discussions about consultations with congress, authorizations of force etc. I have to say this transcends any of what I would call sub constitutional technicalities. The president has gone to war with a foreign power and, it seems, kidnapped a foreign head of state on the basis of nothing.

This feels like a pretty apt prediction
3. Returning Venezuelan exiles and opposition networks find themselves without promised US support, army factions, militias, narco-gangs, illegal mining paramilitaries, Colombian insurgents like ELN pick sides and a country with 6 million weapons in circulation plunges into escalating conflict

try to make sense of it
So fmr Honduran President Hernandez voluntarily surrendered, and was duly extradited, tried and convicted for drug trafficking, and Trump pardoned him 6w ago.
And this morning, Trump illegally attacks Venezuela and abducts its president and his wife purportedly to try them for drug trafficking.
