Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

These prediction markets are as bad if not worse than the betting ones. They seem more benign because it's technically two people betting each other (and not a bookie), but the markets are propped up by the hedge funds and finance ghouls, who basically win either way. Just an awful a system
A side story is there’s a ton of insider trading on these prediction markets. New accounts making hundreds of thousands on their first and only trade, that maduro would be ousted. Seems like insider trading is legal if not encouraged on these platforms

looks like someone is about to win the “fell for it again” award
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."

It doesn’t matter whether or not it will succeed in the House. They should be doing it. They should do it and they should keep doing it over and over. It’s right and necessary to clearly say “this is what should be happening and if this was a functioning rational country it would be”
The president unilaterally decided to attack a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader, and now he says he's just going to run that county himself for a while too.
Call your representatives now and demand they impeach him.

Canada’s response has shown why we need the NDP: Poilievre applauds Trump. Carney's government cannot muster a single world of criticism.
Whatever you think about Maduro, Canada cannot be an accessory to this blatant violation of international law.

This is definitely not a SCIF and, among many other things, this alone is a major national security breach. Random third rate intelligence agencies would have known about this attack before Congressional leaders did.
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?

If you need proof that the media is more responsible for Trump than the MAGA zealots, look at it this way:
Trump came down that escalator in 2015 and started shouting FAKE NEWS almost immediately. Did the press take him to task and bury him? Nope. They bent over and now they work for him. Losers

Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."

There is an answer, other than impeachment which the Senate can't initiate, or criminal prosecution which DOJ obviously won't do. The inherent contempt power. Either house can simply order the sergeant at arms to go arrest somebody for contempt and jail them as punishment. It's happened before.
okay so what are you going to do about the Secretaries of State and Defense committing felony perjury before Congress
Secretaries Rubio and Hegseth looked every Senator in the eye a few weeks ago and said this wasn’t about regime change. I didn’t trust them then and we see now that they blatantly lied to Congress.

A lot of people forget how in 2004 the Bush regime kidnapped the democratically elected President of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and dumped him in Africa.
Is there any modern precedent for abducting a head of state?
Plenty of examples of coups, assassinations and domestic trials, including show trials, but this is like a Crusader Kings plot.
