The reason so many "libs" sound fucking insane is bluntly we did the (very easy!) work of trying to stop this, & it didn't matter.

*We* did everything we reasonably could, and we are seething with hatred for the share of the public & the media who made our efforts futile.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

the administration wants to frame this (bizarrely) as law enforcement. but if law enforcement conducted a raid for a suspect and killed 40 people, including an unknown number of unarmed civilians, it would be treated as a clear disaster like Waco.
NYT:

At least 40 people were killed in the US attack on Venezuela, including military personnel and civilians.

Okay, I have to stop scrolling. I am going to sit here in my quiet house and work on a Tunisian crochet gauge swatch, and maybe listen to an audiobook, and I am not going to torture myself any further this afternoon with this tyrannical bullshit.

broken record here but it is insane that i am more concerned with the 20kish Americans living in venezuela than the entire national press

Again, not sure what new constitution you guys are imagining that will solve the problem of “everyone agrees the man in charge doesn’t have to follow it”
Yeah man the Constitution isn't saving us and we should do a better one after the bad states secede in 2029 when JB wins.

Every person who stayed home in 2024 or argued that Harris was as bad as Trump or worse or that regardless of outcomes the US had to be punished for this or that who is now acting outraged and appalled should be entirely ignored, honestly. Congrats, this is the bed you helped make.

Trump on Venezuela: "We're going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper, and judicious transition"

The biggest lie the Left, Right, and Center tell themselves is that rancid violent gutter bigotry is a side distraction from the Real Issues instead of the true animating force of politics, from modern to ancient

We aren't going to war for oil, we're killing racial enemies for racial caste reasons
"it's about oil, just like GWB and Iraq" no, and that wasn't About Oil either, as evidenced by the fact that America isn't presently getting rich off of Iraqi oilfields

it's much stupider and fouler and more awful and fucked-up than that; Putin attacking Ukraine wasn't /about/ mineral rights either

Trump is posting a bunch of photos without captions, presumably of him watching the Maduro kidnapping.

Is this the inside of a SCIF at Mar-a-Lago or did they just toss up some pipe and drape?

He's mad she won the Nobel Peace Prize and he didn't. That's it. That's what it's all about. Best part is she idiotically and sycophantically dedicated her prize to him and he still won't back her and prefers to publicly denigrate on a day like today.
Trump on María Corina Machado: "I think it'd be very tough for her to be the leader. She doesn't have the support or the respect within the country. She's a very nice woman but she doesn't have the respect."

Some people are saying it doesn't matter that Maduro is a bad man and a tyrant.

I respectfully disagree. It matters a lot, because even when dealing with very bad men, it is not an excuse to ignore the processes that make society function, and we have to loudly assert this fact.

The members who did the "don't follow illegal orders" video absolutely need to immediately do a "hey these were the illegal orders we were talking about and participating in them can expect to face consequences to the fullest extent of the law" video
Uniformed military are involved in this shambolic behavior and they all need to be held to account

A primary goal of the discussion now on dragging dem pols to do the right thing has to be on widespread accountability and where appropriate prosecutions of significant numbers of servicemembers
Inexcusable shit.

fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US

You could make this argument for bombing and regime change in the US. “Donald Trump was ineligible for the presidency in 2024 under the 14th Amendment, and therefore the United States must be bombed to restore democracy.” Somehow I don’t think the pundit class would be so credulous in that case.

Something I don't think folks have fully clocked is the degree to which just about everyone under the age of 45 in any natsecs adjacent space to the left of groypers is flatly saying "this is illegal as shit, that's all there is to it"
Yep there’s no legal justification here. Either we have laws or we don’t.

“It doesn’t make sense — she was so healthy before she got sick.”

THAT’S MOST OF US. THAT’S HOW IT WORKS FOR MOST OF US.

This idea that has grown alarmingly prevalent in the last few years that it’s only weak, sickly people who could possibly be endangered by infectious disease is just so stupid.
