When the fuck are we going to recognize that the coming war is not about drug smuggling, but a favor for oil companies who want that Venezuelan crude oil?

Melania Trump didn't qualify for an EB-1 visa and was paid for modeling in the U.S. in 1996 while on a tourist visa, which doesn't allow employment. Working on this visa is fraud and also disqualifies her. She also lied about work history on her immigration application,which is NATURALIZATION FRAUD.

Trump put the moron in oxymoron.
Hang on, a pause is by definition temporary. Permanent is the opposite of temporary. “Permanent pause” is an oxymoron, a contradiction. If you want to be president of the US, don’t you think you should learn English, @realDonaldTrump ?

Unless Trump's movement is brought to a halt, the U.S. will emulate Russia. Trump will try to strip no only Venezuela, but also Greenland, Canada, and other resource-rich places. Listen to what he says about our NATO allies! He is a predator lusting for goodies in their soils.
Wagner group of Putin mercenaries would go into countries and put up their own puppet leader. Then they start the killing and the stripping of natural resources.
Hegset is a Putin puppet and he's working the same playbook as Wagner.
Hegseth Putin's KGB spy!

Just a reminder, because I do not see any way any of this Trump bullshit ends peacefully. None of it will just fizzle out.

On September 4, 1866, President Andrew Johnson set the precedent for Trump’s latest outrage: In Cleveland, Ohio, Johnson called those who opposed his plan for reversing the Union’s Civil War victory (by reinstating and nationalizing the Confederacy) “traitors” and called for them to be hanged.

NATO is not a fucking country club; there are no "dues." Countries agree to build and maintain their own military forces, spending to a standard amount. That Republican is a dumbass who just revealed how little attention he has cared to know about NATO.

There is about to be a fight over this issue. Refusing unlawful orders will derail the lawless Trump regime.

Stephen Miller was LYING about immigrants driving up housing costs. It has been the super wealthy THE WHOLE TIME! Their immense passive income demands asset buying. It will get WORSE when trillionaires exist.
Trillionaires will be economic DEATH.

Large corps like Blackstone buy large numbers of houses and then control the supply of rental units. They bid up the price of houses which forces people to rent. Then they raise the price of rent. It’s the billionaires not the immigrants. www.cnbc.com/2023/02/21/h...
Wall Street has purchased hundreds of thousands of single-family homes since the Great Recession. Here's what that means for rental prices
Corporations backed by private equity groups such as Blackstone and Pretium Partners bought tens of thousands of homes across the U.S. Sun Belt.

They have fought it all, from rebuilding the North River Tunnels, the bridges west of the Hudson, and the East River Tunnels.

I know you’re a bodybuilder, but use your noggin this time. Nearly half of those who receive food stamps work. Of the rest, most are over 65 or disabled. Wages are too low for tens of millions, and Social Security isn’t enough for many elderly.

So, Trump was on Air Force One attacking @aoc.bsky.social AOC and @crockett.house.gov Jasmine Crockett with the "low IQ" dog whistle yet again. I will say this: he hates smart women, especially women of color. And yet more bonus hate because they are lawmakers.
