@Nonilex The hate in the replies here is crazy. This is a huge win for Dems. They keep every other part of the government funded and DHS gets a two-week stopgap for them to force reforms and any subsequent shutdown is just DHS. Even Kennedy and Thune were in The Hill saying they were more […]

Oh, great. So we are going to war for oil that oil companies don’t even want and the administration has to effectively extort to get them to invest in.

Trump: “We’re not afraid of boots on the ground…We don’t mind saying it. We’re going to make sure that country is run properly.”
Are we going to seek Congressional approval for that or naw?

Welcome to the extent of the insanity:
Trump: Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado doesn’t have the “support or respect” to run Venezuela.
Trump: "I think Cuba is going to be something we'll end up talking about, because Cuba is a failing nation right now."
So we have no plan […]

The opinions online are absolute insanity of the edges.
One side: “Maduro was great, despite the fact that he was a repressive dictator and, likely, billion dollar drug runner.”
Other side: “I don’t care that the President did this without Congress even being consulted and after lying to […]
