I wander Wonder Parkway with a tiny camera in hand.
And I reblog lot's of shit that I like.
Which seems to overwhelm when I share my pics.

So, I said slowly, my plan was to hang out on social media and enjoy myself.
Pose pretty and gaze upon the world.
And then, suddenly, it all happened....

It must be alarming to every head of state to learn that possessing machine guns in their own countries is reportedly now one of the grounds for the US to invade kidnap and imprison them.

He's literally set himself up as Ruler of Venezuela.

George Bush at least got a congressional resolution and an attempt at a UN resolution before invading and occupying Iraq.

Trump didn't even consult with the Gang of 8 in Congress and now declares himself the ruler. Sheesh.
Trump on Venezuela: "We're going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper, and judicious transition"

🍑's math is warped.

He had blasted 36 boats casing 115 deaths.

Trump math:
97% is 36 boats, 100% is 37.5 boats

So if 🍑's Navy destroys 1.5 more speedboats, he has shutdowm 100% of the S.American drug cartel's pipeline to the US.

MAGAs don't do math.

Random illegal war.

Trump on Sheinbaum: "The cartels are running Mexico. She's not running Mexico. We could be politically correct & nice and say, 'Oh, yes, she is.' No no. And I've asked her number times, 'Would you like us to take out the cartels?' ... something is gonna have to be done with Mexico."

When trump was sworn in with a bible nearby, not too close, it burns, he said he would protect the constitution.
Trump on Democrats: "They should say 'great job.' They shouldn't say, 'Oh gee, maybe it's not constitutional.' You know, the same old stuff that we've been hearing for years and years and years."

Oil is such a drug.
FOX & FRIENDS: What do you see as the future of Venezuela's oil industry?

TRUMP: Well I see that we're gonna be very strongly involved in it. That's all. What can I say. We have the greatest oil companies in the world.

It's the bombing other countries without congressional approval.
Tom Cotton: "Congress isn't notified when the FBI is going to arrest a drug trafficker or cyber criminal here in the US, nor should Congress be notified when the executive branch is executing arrests on indicted persons. And that's really what you can make the analogy to here."

In contrast to 34-year-old Mamdani’s inauguration in NYC, the WSJ on the same day published a story about Trump’s “signs of aging.”

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

Gupta: He keeps citing this constant passing of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment test…

This is not a tool that the general public should be utilizing with that level of frequency unless there’s a reason to do it—which is to assess and monitor the evolution of mild dementia or impairment.

How dare he?

Because he wants to see different images on the TV?

There's zero reason to attack a country that's not attacking the United States.

IMPEACH HIM NOW! He must be stopped before this goes any further.

America does not want this. No person in the street or in Congress is asking for it.
Getting tons of videos from actual real human friends in Caracas reporting multiple explosions. Cant confirm exactly whats happening. Will make sure anything I do post is firsthand and not from an indirect source

Venezuela
This is a stark reason—one of several—to be very cautious here. Others: Almost everyone involved is an unreliable narrator. It’s night. It’s the new year weekend and so still a holiday time for most journalism staffing operations.

People are getting calls now, and getting to work, but be cautious.
Whatever the fuck is going on is clearly very bad and an era of fake/recirculated video making it very hard to tell what is real is making it even worse.

If the U.S. is bombing Caracas right now Trump should be impeached Monday and multiple military officers arrested for following illegal orders.
