We are a country whose Constitution, according to the Supreme Court, gives our own presidents immunity for crimes committed while in office, but we will prosecute presidents of other countries for alleged crimes and invade them to execute arrest warrants.

I posted earlier that Trump would try to grab Greenland and claim it's for "security reasons."

Hitler did the same with the Netherlands.

Just follow the playbook.
Trump: "We need Greenland from a national security situation. It's so strategic. Right now, Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships all over the place. We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security. And Denmark is not gonna be able to do it ... the EU needs us to have it"

Q: There's about $17 billion of oil reserves in Venezuela

TRUMP: You mean trillion. Did you say billion or trillion?

Q: I said billion

TRUMP: It's much more than that

Q: So what is going to happen to those reserves?

TRUMP: We're going to run everything

If the U.S. attacks a NATO country, then that country can invoke Article 5, requiring member states to come to its aid. Several of them are nuclear powers.

Is this scenario likely? No. But just the fact that the White House could place Americans at such risk is a major national security issue.

We need to be honest with ourselves and our leaders about Venezuela

We are a rogue state, a global pariah

Trump is ruling as a dictator, period

An axis of evil wants to carve up small, resource-rich nations

The message for 2026 is clear: No kings!

Whoa!

🚨 BREAKING: The Atlantic is reporting that Trump just threatened the VP of Venezuela.

TRUMP: “If she doesn’t do what’s right, she’s going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro.”

So if she doesn’t go along with the get-along and give the US their oil, he’s coming for her too.

I suspect "protest" will be quite the buzzword this year

3.5% of the population of a country protest nonviolently against an authoritarian government, that government is likely to fall from power

"Venezuelans at celebration parties in Miami could not believe it, insisting that Trump had misspoken. His plan appears to be for Venezuela to remain under the day-to-day rule of a senior chavista, with its democratically elected leaders excluded and its wealth controlled by American corporations."
Donald Trump wants to run Venezuela, and dominate the western hemisphere
Snatching Nicolás Maduro and attempting to take control of Venezuela and its oil is an extraordinary display of the new “Donroe doctrine”

I wonder if Trump was as charmed this time as last.

Well done, Mr. Mayor.
Zohran Mamdani, the new mayor of New York City, called President Trump on Saturday to personally object to strikes the U.S. had conducted in Venezuela and to the capture of its leader, Nicolás Maduro. Mamdani accused Trump of violating international law.

This is immoral, illegal, and insane.
A Mad King has usurped the power of Congress—which represents the American people. That is, he has seized power that belongs to you and me collectively. He has declared war without consultation with or approval from Congress. And with no imminent threat. This is a profound betrayal of the republic.

So fmr Honduran President Hernandez voluntarily surrendered, and was duly extradited, tried and convicted for drug trafficking, and Trump pardoned him 6w ago.

And this morning, Trump illegally attacks Venezuela and abducts its president and his wife purportedly to try them for drug trafficking.
