There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but there‘s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home.
They are lawless bestial scum.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

It's been 39 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Also, Reagan amnestied millions of illegal aliens (something that seems to vanish from these discussions), eliminated an entire class of nuclear weapons, appointed the first woman to SCOTUS, among other things that Trumpists would today howl are the marks of a RINO cuck
Trump is the opposite of Reagan in every meaningful way.
Reagan would never mock a disabled person, insult POWs, or try and overthrow an election he lost. Reagan wouldn't dare make soldiers kneel before Putin or pardon lunatics that stormed the Capital. All that shit was unthinkable prior to Trump.

Trump’s trillions transfer has passed.
Tax cuts for the rich, health care and program cuts for everyone else, adding Trillions in debt, while making Trump’s Gestapo one of the most expensive armies in the world.

/2 Trump appeals to people for a reason: because they’re shitty people with shitty values from a shitty culture. When he’s a nasty, bullying, bigoted thug that appeals to them because those are their values. I’m not going to try to be more thuggy or bigoted or bullying to find common ground.

Put simply:
8 - 12 million of the 24 million ACA exchange enrollees will be priced completely out of coverage.
The other 12 - 16 million will have to pay through the nose to keep theirs, in most cases having to downgrade to a worse plan while still paying far more.

I agree with this. The whistleblower letter written on behalf of Erez Reuveni, a former DOJ senior immigration lawyer, basically describes in extensive detail a contumacious if not criminal course of conduct by Emil Bove and other senior officials at DOJ.
The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

Trump tells reporters that Tulsi Gabbard is wrong about the Islamic Republic of Iran building a nuclear weapon.
She has two choices now as far as I’m concerned: she can either amend her testimony before congress where she stated that the Islamic Republic was not building a nuclear weapon or resign.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.
ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.
