This 👇. My go-to explanation since the boat strikes and navy buildup began in late summer: They're bootstrapping a justification for invoking the Alien Enemies Act to detain and deport people domestically.
I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.

Rob Reiner once told his parents he wanted to change his name.

They thought well, this poor kid is worried about being in the shadow of his famous father. So they asked him, "OK, what do you want to change your name to?"

He said, "Carl."

Christ, I'm going to miss this man. 😢

COLLINS: Do you disagree with Trump's pardon of the former Honduran leader who was also indicted and convicted?

RICK SCOTT: I don't -- I never -- I never met the guy and I don't know anything about it

COLLINS: But do you approve of that pardon?

SCOTT: I don't know much about it

"I watched it go bing bing" said the man with the nuke codes.
Trump: "The only time anybody could see those planes was when those bomb chutes open up, because it becomes totally un-stealth. You're going in, you go like this. As soon as it goes like this, for some reason the plane is totally visible. Not good. I watched it happening. I watched it go bing bing"

We have a complete psychopath as president.

He needs to be removed, because we won't survive three more years of this.

And even his fucking chief of staff knows this.

House Republicans have killed amendments to their “healthcare bill” that would have extended the ACA premium tax credits. The vote will go on tomorrow with no help for subsidy recipients.

This was a Republican choice. An absolutely unforced error. Lives will be lost because of it. Never forget it.

It is international law 101 that a military blockade is not just a violation of the UN Charter, but a crime of aggression.

Unless that blockade is in response to an 'armed attack.'

None of President's Trump's list of complaints come close to an armed attack.

Trump has been convinced by his handlers it’s time to attack Venezuela. Trump has dementia and thinks he’s on the golf course. He is being manipulated. All his actions are illegal. We will need a tribunal to prosecute all involved. Any Trump pardon is invalid because of his dementia.
