Trumpian imperialism in action: kidnap the head of the regime, leaving the rest of it in place so as to access the oil reserves for the US companies. Then realize the oil is actually quite expensive to extract, so go ahead and SUBSIDIZE the oil companies. Perfect.

Trump’s Venezuela “operation is less a challenge to international law than an instance of total disregard for it,” argues Graeme Wood:
The Messiness of a Post-Maduro World
Trump’s apparent violation of international law will almost certainly go unpunished, but the rules and norms will be missed.

Trump: We need Greenland for national protection. They have a very small population. They say Denmark, but Denmark has no military protection. They say that Denmark was there 300 years ago with a boat—well, we were there with boats too I’m sure.

Wow. This is so embarrassing for the FBI official. But it is typical of so many in this administration. They are all either so afraid or so incompetent.
There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat.
The claim collapsed because it’s a cover.

The Onion is satire and not real news. But, buying groceries, driving a car, fixing himself a sandwich etc. are things he has probably not done in 50 years if ever. Or maybe he has just reduced these events by 150% or even 1000%. Anyway The Onion is always fun.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”
As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.
