One thing I made peace with in 2024 is that I don't have to.
I don't have to always be the bigger person. I don't have to fix what I didn't break. I don't have to show up for those who don't show up for me. And I definitely don't have to sacrifice my own happiness to please everyone else.

Almost 20 years ago, I warned we were heading toward a world where states invade each other at will, and that America had an obligation to restore the higher bar for going to war. Not gonna say I told ya so, but...well, okay, I will.

“A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep Epstein's list from coming out, they send warships to kill fishermen & threaten our neighbor with invasion for their oil."

Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine.
We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

Right now there are tens of thousands of armed Maduro/party loyalists, many Cuban trained, operating inside of Venezuela. They won't go quietly. There are two options:
1. You fight them (Iraq
2.0)
2. You pay them (later
Iraq 2.0)
This all takes time too. Not easy!

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.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.
Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.
And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.
Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.
It's a power grab.

Trump has pardoned MULTIPLE drug dealers - Silk Road, Binance, former President of Honduras - so this has NOTHING to do with fighting drugs.

No way in hell for me. My insurance is less than this and I don’t need or want a primary in order to access the orthopedists that are critical to my EDS care.
I would also require you to sign up for a direct primary care doctor at $100 for month (people on Medicaid or Medicare would stay there ). So this would be cheaper than insurance premiums.

A bunch of weirdos with a documented party history of pedophilia who are in the middle of covering for Epstein want to hang out at child care centers. Fucking freaks. And we should say so.
