extorting a peace prize by the barrel of a gunship. wow.
Hannity: Did you at any point offered to give him the Nobel peace prize?
Machado: It hasn’t happened yet. We want to give it to him. Share it with him.

The thing about “Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over the future of [country]” is that you can keep extending that logic indefinitely by threatening people will military force unless they surrender to you. This is “we will conquer the entire world unless someone stops us” logic.
TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?
MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO
T: So force is on the table?

When she accepted the Nobel Peace Prize she explicitly thanked Trump and flattered him but she didn’t try to give it to him instead of accepting it so 🤷♂️
WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

You'd have to make up a country called "Anamapama" and make the drug some kind of glowy sci-fi substance and the instigators would have to be a shadowy made-up intelligence agency that you could hand-wave away when necessary

As far as I can tell, despite his momager’s nagging, Shane is not seen wearing Reeboks once in the ENTIRE season of Gay Hockey Sex Twunks. The money Reebok paid him for that brand ambassadorship is going directly down the drain.

notably, it appears most of the US petroleum industry has known this operation was coming and there was no actual war planning to back it up for at least a week and a half.

I think, unfortunately, the "success" of the Venezuala operation + the previously reported planning for a Mexican operation means the Trump Administration is, unless meaningfully stopped, absolutely going to be invading Mexico. This simply cannot be treated as an empty threat

Well, I guess it’s time for the entire GOP to now pretend that this is a legitimate question and subject of investigation.
Trump did it again. This is his 2nd post pushing a conspiracy that Governor Tim Walz had Melissa Hortman murdered in her own home.
Absolutely disgusting.
