One of the key features of authoritarian / totalitarian government is the sidelining of the organs of governement in favor of the organs of The Party (Nazi, Fascist, Communist). These party organs assume the role of various goverment functions (think DOGE). A subtle by scary development.

Gee, I wonder, given America’s unlawful attack on Venezuela, how long until Putin decides he’d like to absorb Finland 🇫🇮. It wasn’t too long ago that Finland was a province of the Russian Empire...

I’m sure Finland is wondering the same thing right now.

Just because I said I liked Westerns didn't mean I wanted to live in Lord Dampnut's Wild West Fantasy and Murderbot Theme Park.

Between an SS Stormtrooper murder in Minneapolis, illegal violations of a nation’s sovereignty, and lawless ship seizures on the high seas, we have killed America.

Best estimate: $80+/barrel is a reasonable reference for what it might cost a producer to justify new investment in Venezuelan heavy oil under current conditions

Current Price: Between $40 - $60/barrel

So the Venezuelan oil isn’t even profitable

He’s such a stupid fucking clown 🤡.

Lord knows I love a good nap. And being retired I can manage a nap most days. My wife, who puts up with my daytime dreamtime made up a great joke about it.

"Honey, what do you call going a whole day without a nap?"

"I don’t know, what?"

"An ALL-DAYER! 🤣"

She’s funny, I’ll give her that!

Yeah, about that ocean of Venezuelan oil 🛢️Trump has promised to the American oil industry…

Yeah, they’re not really interested in Venezuela’s extra heavy crude that requires a ton of extra money to extract and refine.

What a fucking dickhead.

Trump offers US oil companies a poisoned chalice in Venezuela
U.S. President Donald Trump is giving U.S. energy companies the opportunity to revive Venezuela’s massive, derelict oil industry. It’s an offer they may want to refuse.

Just to be clear, progressives / lefties defending Maduro’s reign of stupidity are really no different than lefties defending Stalin in the 1950s and 60s.
