this is repulsive, but for those who didn't live through "shock and awe" in iraq: it's the norm with the bootlickers who largely make up the dc/nyc press

This is fine as punditry but it doesn't work as a political position because it effectively ratifies his actions and gives up ground on public opinion when it's arguably on your side. The line should be "This senile madman should be removed from power" not "Well he has a point"
Such is the duality of life. It can be true that DJT’s actions are outrageous AND that Maduro is a bad guy.

Yeah, people are fixating on a Cabinet Secretary being given a sovereign country to run because the president waged war without congressional approval and kidnapped the old leader. Weird that they’d get hung up on that.
WELKER: Mr. Secretary, are you running Venezuela right now?
MARCO RUBIO: Yeah. People are fixating on that. Here's the bottom line -- we expect to see changes in Venezuela

Bravo to President Trump’s administration. There were zero leaks about the operation in Venezuela. If this was 2017, it would have leaked days before.
Total professionalism from President Trump and his Cabinet.
Air tight. And they all looked great celebrating together at Mar a Lago.

Untrue - he looked happy when he was clearly doing a press conference while on coke last week
One thing I’m struck by is how just plain unhappy Marco Rubio looks in every picture or interview. At least Hegseth looks like he’s having fun cos-playing “Secretary of War”; Rubio seemingly hates every moment of his life, even moments like this that are huge policy triumphs for him.

I'm honestly surprised they didn't drop him into the Caribbean on the way back here.
So in the entirely not impossible off chance the DOJ fucks up this trial and Marduro is innocent, does he just like, get on a plane back to Venezuela? Or is Trump just gonna Epstein him before they get that far.

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 ..

Anyway, big congrats to Nobel Peace Laureate Maria Corina Machado for getting the war she practically begged for — only for it to blow up spectacularly in her face.
And of course, to presidenta-por-vida Rodriguez for gaining a powerful new patron and everything else she ever could have wanted

News: Gang of Eight in Congress were only notified about Trump's Venezuela operation after it began, source familiar tells me. That means the heads of the Intelligence Committees in Senate and House were *not* consulted. Just crazy.
