It’s been five years since Jan. 6, 2021. President Trump pardoned and commuted the sentences of people convicted of crimes related to the Capitol's storming. The move would be emblematic of his approach to wielding executive power in his second term. Learn more in “Trump’s Power & the Rule of Law.”

Careful silence when the US started killing people in international waters. Careful silence when a Canadian ICC justice was sanctioned by the US. Now we mumble vague things about international law and Venezuela. We’re losing more than just our voice.

Stephen Miller goes on a rant defending Trump's imperialist aggression against Venezuela: "We’re a superpower… we are going to conduct ourselves as a superpower."

Jake Tapper: "I don't even know what you're talking about right now."

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

TAPPER: “So you won’t take it off the table that 🇺🇸 won’t use military force to seize Greenland?”

STEPHEN MILLER: *laughs*, says nobody would fight us for it — despite European nations saying it would end NATO (which Putin would love)

Bottom line: The guardrails are gone

I'm over being complacent, not that I ever was, but trump is burning down the world and no one is stopping him. We need massive people in the streets, Corporations with a brain and heart to stand up for Democracy. We need Republicans to grow a fucking spine.

Everyone who told us not to worry, because Venezuela wasn’t a precursor to invading Greenland, can sit down and shut up right now

TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?

MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO

T: So force is on the table?

M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

Voici je crois le décor fédéral pour 2026.

Et désormais, la stratégie pétrolière de Mark Carney, sans effet économique ou commercial avant plusieurs années, pourrait avoir comme concurrent la longue (aussi) restauration du secteur pétrolier vénézuélien.

January 6, 2021 was the most shameful day in American history. It should live in infamy. We will never forget it, and we will not let the nation or the world forget — despite the revisionism of Trump and his lackeys in the Republican Party.

Welcome to the American petrostate

By Michael E. Mann | Nov 7, 2024

The U.S. is now a failed Democratic state. With the reelection of Donald Trump..the U.S. is now poised to become an authoritarian state ruled by plutocrats & fossil fuel interests.

From Rachel Hurley:

Something about Venezuela is not sitting right with me.
This is a long one.
And take this all with a grain of salt, because who the hell am I? I could be overthinking this whole thing.
Something about Venezuela is not sitting right with me. This is a long one. And take this all with a grain of salt, because who the hell am I? I could be overthinking this whole thing. Here's what can be backed up by reporting: 14 days before the U.S. captured Nicolás Maduro, Russia evacuated the families of its diplomats from Venezuela. December 20th. Wives and kids. Quiet, organized, done. Then on January 3rd, Delta Force drops in, grabs Maduro and his wife, and it's over in under thirty minutes. That doesn't seem like a coincidence. Russia publicly condemned the whole thing - called it armed aggression, demanded a UN Security Council meeting, the whole performative outrage routine. But you don't evacuate your people two weeks in advance unless you know something's coming. And if you know something's coming, someone told you. Here's where it gets weirder. Cuba - Venezuela's other major ally - didn't evacuate anybody. Cuban doctors are still there, confined to their quarters, families back in Havana losing their minds because nobody warned them this was happening. China? Same thing. No evacuation, just reactive condemnation after the fact. So Russia knew. Cuba and China didn't. Or at least they didn't foresee any consequences from a US intervention - because sure;y they knew that Russians were leaving. Now let's talk about how the operation actually went down. Venezuela spent two billion dollars on Russian S-300 air defense systems - the kind that are supposed to turn the Caribbean into a no-fly zone for the U.S. military. On paper, these things track 24 targets simultaneously, knock cruise missiles out of the sky at 250 kilometers. Caracas should have been a fortress. The U.S. neutralized all of it in under twenty minutes. Either American military tech is so vastly superior that we can casually dismantle a Russian-backed air defense network before anyone even knows we're there, or those systems were ordered not to fire. Maybe both. But the speed of it - the totality of it - that's what doesn't add up. And if we can do this - why is the Ukrainian war with Russia still happening? Anyway - one helicopter took minor damage. That's it. No U.S. casualties. No significant Venezuelan casualties that anyone's bothered to specify. Vice President Delcy Rodriguez went on TV and said "innocent people died" but never gave numbers, never gave details, and hasn't brought it up again. For a surprise military raid on a hostile capital city, that's remarkably clean. And then there's Maduro himself. He and his wife both surrendered. Not fought to the death, not tried to escape, not holed up for a siege. Surrendered. The FBI Hostage Rescue Team was part of the extraction force - not just Delta, but FBI HRT, the guys who specialize in cooperative extractions. You bring HRT when you're expecting the target to come willingly. The whole transport route screams pre-arrangement. Maduro goes from his compound to the USS Iwo Jima, then Guantanamo, then a nice clean flight to New York where a 25-page indictment is ready to unseal the same day he lands. That indictment was prepared. The grand jury had already done its work. Jay Clayton's signature was on it before Maduro ever got on that helicopter. They knew exactly when he'd be in custody. Here's what I think happened - and again, I'm speculating here, but the pieces fit. Maduro was cornered. His economy collapsed. He lost the 2024 election and the international community recognized his opponent. His former intelligence chief, Hugo Carvajal, pled guilty back in June and started cooperating. That guy would have known everything - security details, schedules, which officers were loyal, which ones would fold. Maduro's wife was indicted. His son was indicted. He was facing life in prison if the U.S. ever got him. actually watched a video of a recent interview that Maduro did where he said that he was ready to work with the US - he was just waiting for them to call. So what if he made a deal? What if Maduro, through back channels, offered to surrender in exchange for a reduced sentence? Maybe witness protection, maybe unfrozen assets, maybe immunity for his kid. The U.S. gets him in custody, gets control of Venezuelan oil, gets a clean regime change without a prolonged war. Russia gets advance warning, pulls their people out, avoids an international incident. And everybody gets to maintain their public positions for domestic audiences. Maduro looks like a victim - kidnapped by imperial aggression, not a guy who cut a deal to save his own ass. The U.S. looks strong - tough on dictators, military dominance, America first. Russia looks outraged - standing up to American hegemony. And Venezuela's power structure stays mostly intact because Trump's not working with the democratic opposition, he's working with Maduro's own vice president. That last part is what really cinches it for me. María Corina Machado won the Nobel Peace Prize. She won the opposition primary. Her guy, Edmundo Gonzalez, won the actual presidential election by a two-to-one margin and got international recognition as Venezuela's legitimate leader. Seventy percent of Venezuelans support the opposition.
