Of course they are.
The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami.

They are lying to us.

This guy has to piss all over every single thing… from the Kennedy Center to the airport. The terminals at Dulles somehow displease the king. He sure feels free to waste our tax dollars. Or maybe it’s another mechanism for ‘donation’ grift?

Perhaps Biden’s Chips Act was a better way to encourage chip manufacturing rather than support any specific company. There may be a temptation to personally invest in a company then turn around & approve the use taxpayer money to prop up that company. Just sayin’

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.

But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

So much corruption that it’s easy to lose track!
Reminder that the Trump regime still hasn't told us if border czar Tom Homan kept the $50,000 he took in an undercover bribery sting that was shut down by Trump's DOJ. They haven't even told us if Homan paid taxes on the $50,000 in taxpayer money he shouldn't have taken in the first place.

Evidently this is the guy is being considered by Trump to be next Fed Chair replacing Powell…. The coup will be complete. Interest rates will be lowered - then will inflation & unemployment tip us over the edge into recession? That’s what they want. Bad for us good for the rich.

“I believe the Biden-era approach better aligned w US values: offering refuge to people fleeing persecution, especially when they sacrificed to help US efforts abroad. Shutting the door.. undermines those values & erodes moral standing internationally.
