Trump just straight-up looted Venezuela and said he gets the money. Not America. Him. This isn’t policy — it’s piracy. He’s a walking oil heist with a spray tan. 🏴☠️🛢️💰 #PirateInChief

The new ICE recruits everyone keeps saying are proud boys or whatever may be linked to hate groups but they are primarily US military. Trump is circumventing the whole “insurrection act” thing by just hiring them as contractors. These are traitors violating their oath.
