When people in the media call Trump a "lame duck," they're fooling themselves.
Trump: "I could have the most unbelievable four years -- and I guess I'm not allowed to run. I'm not sure. Is there a little something out there that I'm not allowed to run? But let's assume I was allowed to run. There's gonna be a constitutional movement."

If he's not dead, he's going to run in 2028. And Republicans will line up behind it.

"They should cancel the election."
Trump: "They have the worst policy. How we have to even run against these people -- I won't say cancel the election, they should cancel the election, because the fake news with say, 'He wants the elections canceled. He's a dictator.' They always call me a dictator. Nobody is worse than Obama."

We're occupied by the dumbest of the dumb appointed by an actual killer cult.
Is there even one qualified person working in the position they have?
Couldn't even check to see if Maduro's "cartel" was real.
Just one embarrassment after another.

Trump seized Maduro, but that was the easy part. This piece argues the U.S. now has no real plan for Venezuela, no buy-in from oil companies, and no clear successor. It’s Iraq 2003 vibes, minus the illusions.

A big part of Trump's Plan for Venezuela involves U.S. oil companies investing a lot of money into getting Venezuela's oil industry back on its feet. But the oil companies don't seem to be leaping at…

When the U.S. claims the right to seize leaders and resources because they’re in “our hemisphere,” what argument is left against Russia in Ukraine or China in Taiwan? How does that logic stop anywhere?

If Supreme Court outcomes are now statistically predictable based on wealth, what does “equal justice under law” even mean anymore? And what, if anything, checks that drift?

The military is well aware of what an illegal order is. If they are not familiar with what defending America against enemies foreign and domestic means, they all need to be chaptered out. This is not about a convicted felon president anymore.
