Pressure from both parties on hegseth regarding the double strike on the alleged drug smuggling boat and his order to allow no survivors. The attack on Venezuela would be a massive distraction from that so my guess is he is pushing for it asap.

On the one hand, Scott, you say it would have been better to give people money directly instead of filtering it through a government bureaucracy. On the other hand, stimulus money should have included means testing. How do you means test w/out bureaucracy?

The gov’mt shutdown, deployment of fed troops to SF, the Robert’s Court, and now sending of an aircraft carrier to further destabilize South American countries, this president has you chasing tails. Focus on an illegal target and get a win for us!

Because playing at military is all he’s qualified to do. Frankly, it’s better he wastes time with stunts like this than making decisions that could affect thousands.

I mean, Republicans never really liked governing. They always preferred being the opposition/obstruction party. So maybe not so much of a surprise that they’d rather stay home than try to get things done.

Republicans are not interested in good government. They campaign on broken government and then do all they can to prove they were right when they’re in power.

Democrats are always stuck during these times as the party of good governance. Republicans are like, “fine, shut it down. We don’t like government anyway, and our voters hate government. So why would they care if it goes away?” They campaign on broken government. Now they can prove they were right.
