I'm not going to speak to the politics of Maduro, but if Trump goes ahead and invades Venezuela, he's an idiot if he thinks it will have Americans' support, as we know even now that it doesn't.
(Just for the record, of course he's an idiot, at any rate.)

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro: “The US wants to rule the world but ignores its own millions without housing, food, education, or battling addiction.
“They want to "save" others with weapons. First save yourselves. We know what to do with Venezuela.”

There's no rationale for putting one's life on the line for a country that's determined to eradicate one's every contribution.
OPINION: "[A]s parents, we must listen—really listen—to the reasons our children consider enlistment. Maybe it’s to escape poverty. Maybe it’s identity, structure or honor. Maybe they believe they have no other choice. It is our responsibility to show them that they do," Horace Small writes.

My friend @drannieandrews.com will be Lindsey Graham's opponent.
She is a pediatric surgeon who has performed spinal surgeries on children, running against a grownup with no spine. Dr. Andrews is poised to perform a full Lindsey-ectomy on the United States Senate.

So we've gone from practically no relationship to "a very bad relationship for many years." He didn't terminate it early on, so something obviously was in it for him. And, per usual, the more Mr. Flappy-Yappy mouth talks, the more he gives himself away.

Children are learning that these fascist actions and idiotic communications are the norm, and acceptable.
Yikes 😬 an official U.S. government account just referred to Americans as “imbecilic morons.” That’s… a choice.

The other profound but distressing truth is that a significant number of Americans had fallen for a guy whose history was no secret and is a malignant narcissist and compulsive liar. Since I've been voting, 54 yrs now, no other candidate anything like him would have been so widely supported.
The cracks in Trump's movement reveal a profound truth: you cannot endlessly gaslight working people about economic pain while serving the wealthy and expect their loyalty to last. This rebellion was inevitable.

Ooh--intriguing call.
The phrase “the dog that didn’t bark” comes from Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes story Silver Blaze (1892).
Holmes notes a dog’s silence during a theft as the key clue—it didn’t bark because the intruder was familiar.
