Tony Dokoupil just last week said that CBS was going to represent the views of average Americans and not the elites. He then cancelled his vacation to come on the air and say that regime change in Venezuela is awesome, a position that maybe 20% of Americans hold.
Nightmarish. CBS News is now running straight state propaganda. They handed Hegseth all three segments and are now tweeting flattering sound bites.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Probably some mixed emotions because Maduro is a terrible person. But Trump did not remove him because he cares about Venezuelan people. He did it so he and his buddies could pillage the country’s oil and other resources to enrich themselves
Trump wants to send all Venezuelans in the US to CECOT!

They must be terrified.
Trump's xenophobic ICE Gestapo are monstrous.
All the Afghans that helped us in Shrub's ridiculous 'war on terror' are similarly in danger.

I guess I need to say this since some people have lost their minds: I don’t care about baseball right now.
I am concerned about the safety of Venezuelan baseball players and their families—who are sheltering in place—after our country illegally bombed them to steal their oil.

There are a lot of MLB players and prospects from Venezuela. Been texting with people in several front offices and nobody knows how this is going to impact players and their families’ ability to get out. A total clusterfuck.

Some folks are in my mentions blaming these players for going to Venezuela like they are reckless tourists or something. Stop it.
Venezuela is where they were born and raised and continue to live in the offseason and where their family and friends also live. We bombed their home.

Giants check on safety of players in Venezuela: ‘Most have just sheltered in place’
For the baseball community, the U.S. overnight military action in Venezuela on Saturday brought some concerns — especially for those big leaguers playing winter ball there.

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes
“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

So much of American history is just impulsive and extremely stupid elites, who don't believe in consequences because they have never personally experienced them, doing highly consequential stuff because they're bored or believe it might make them richer. I guess a lot of our culture, too.

“We don’t have much info at the moment but are trying to follow up,” Brewers POBO Matt Arnold told the Journal Sentinel. “We know the airports have been shut down but not much beyond that.”

You don't have to listen to these professional liars who are barely trying. 9 months ago they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty
Vance pushes back and says this was not illegal, arguing "Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism. You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas."

Doesn't this mean some other country can do this to Trump? Why would we set this precedent
Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

Maybe Marco Rubio thinks if he bombs enough countries he’ll no longer have to wear boots with heels to make him taller.
We could have had health care subsidies but Trump thought spending that money on a pointless war would make him feel like more of a man.
