It’s crazy how so many in media stayed away from talking about Trump’s obvious mental and physical decline explicitly when some of us have been beating the drum about it for a few years relentlessly, but after a legacy outlet (WSJ) does a story now it’s suddenly ok to go there.

Imagine being the person brave enough to leak this in the hopes that media attention could stop it and then the media just……buries it.

Don’t be fooled: you can’t both claim this was simply the execution of an arrest warrant AND say the U.S. is now "running" Venezuela & grabbing its oil resources.

Trump just admitted this was a clear regime-change play to enrich U.S. oil companies & his billionaire buddies.
Trump and his cronies can try to dress this up, but it is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro and grab Venezuela's oil for his billionaire buddies.

The video+ transcript of the closed door hearing with Jack Smith was released on 12/31. Many of us found the timing suspect.

trump kidnapping Venezuela's president+his wife will NOT distract us from knowing the evidence Smith decisively recalled, telling us he was sure trump'd be convicted.

I’ll be surprised if it’s something besides “We hope our republican colleagues will work with us, otherwise we’ll be forced to write a strongly worded resolution opposing this.”

Key question by my lights is whether these newsrooms knew Congress wasn’t being notified of the attack
(Semafor) - The New York Times and Washington Post learned of a secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin Friday night — but held off publishing what they knew to avoid endangering US troops ..

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

No one who took Trump seriously believed for one second that he was going to engage in foreign policy actions any different than exactly what he has done.

We warned all of you. We told you who and what he was.

You didn’t listen.

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.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

This is the military industrial complex on steroids.
