So the US taxpayer will spend billions of dollars to make the Venezuelan regime even more repressive so that it can protect American oil companies who won’t actually do anything except themselves receive billions more dollars of taxpayer subsidies. MAGA

They keep Trump’s line that it was a Biden witch hunt. But Trump’s DOJ in 2019 was the first to unseal docs showing Hernandez was a drug trafficker.

Why don’t they ever explain that documents tying Hernandez to drug trafficking and money laundering were unsealed in 2019, by Trump’s DOJ?

SORKIN: Did you support the pardon of Hernandez, the former president of Honduras for what effectively looks like the same thing as Maduro?

One member of Congress now represents an average of about 700,000 people. With that size and diversity, no wonder voters feel they are not being heard. One person can't possibly represent them all.

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world.

The “peace” President has started a war.
He'll start a war to:
1. Distract from the Epstein Files
2. Steal oil
3. Justify emergency powers
4. Justify use of the AEA for deportation/internment
5. Help the drug lord he just pardoned

If Trump’s concern was drugs, he’d not have pardoned Honduras’s corrupt leader; if terrorism, he’d have gone after Iran; if world order, Russia; if preserving US power, China. If democracy, human rights or humanitarian motive, dozens of other worthy cases. What’s left is oil. And Epstein.
