Remember a few months ago when that betting company who said you could bet on the news partnered with CNN and people were like ‘whaaat?’
“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.

Absolutely terrified Trump will do it to him. He knows how they talk about him and it keeps him awake at night. hope it was all worth it kieth
Keir Starmer: "I constantly remind myself that 24/7 our defence, our security & our intelligent relationship with the US matters probably more than any other relationship we've got in the world and it would not be in our national interest to weaken that in any way"

Feels like for a lot of people, the president's biggest sin is just being to blunt too put a nice, jingoistic, propagandistic cover on what the what US is and does and always has been.
Public figures squawking about democracy and liberation while he goes "BLOOD AND OIL" is darkly, darkly funny.

Amazing: I am a little squealing bitch for the world’s emperor, just as every British Prime Minister before me has always been a kneepad nympho for whatever it is the American President wants this week. If you don’t like it, fuck you. This is the only way that the world can ever be ordered.

I think this is one of the more important observations of the era: people who are 100% fine with genocide are absolutely prepared to do anything at all, if it’s expedient.
Again: Ta-Nehisi Coates was not wrong - people who do not draw a line at genocide, will not draw a line at democracy. They are extremists by their nature.

Trump's chief contribution to American politics is revealing that you don't need a respectable veneer for evil, corrupt behavior. You can rob the bank, say you did it because you like money and you'll do it again, and challenge anyone to stop you
I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

Yeah, the issue here is that Congress didn't sign off the kidnapping of a head of state
The aging pedophile who wants to be a king has kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation without congressional approval.
If the United States had an opposition party, they would treat this as an illegitimate act and start impeachment proceedings immediately.

This is the situation room and there is one big screen up that shows a browser window with three tabs open, all of them on Twitter
Several of the photos have Twitter up on a screen in the background but I can’t make out what search term appears

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."

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.
