WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.

“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

my sense is this: not only are trump and rubio and hegseth lying to the public about the purposes, impact, planning, etc of the attack on venezuela. they are lying to each other. they have no idea what they're doing or where this ends.

Wait a minute, if I’m reading this correctly, the US didn’t do regime change in Venezuela, but instead, we helped the army-connected VP stage a coup???

Trump: “We’re going to have our very large United States oil companies—the biggest anywhere in the world—go in and spend billions of dollars to fix the badly broken infrastructure, the oil infrastructure, and start making money for the country.”

An invasion.

This is honestly one of the feeblest, slurriest, most rambling performances Trump has given outside of a rally, largely because he seems to have forgotten that this is actually outside of a rally. Just incoherent boasting, posturing, lying, and blathering.

He sounds terrible and looks like he’s going to keel over the podium at any moment. This is not inspiring stuff.

They can illegally spirit Maduro out of Venezuela but they can’t be bothered to fly Trump to DC to make this announcement from the Oval Office?! Maybe he’ll never leave Mar-A-Lago again!

Bulldoze the ballroom.
"When it happens, Republicans will object (and you can only imagine the meltdown Trump himself will have on Truth Social). The response Dems give should be simple: *Too bad. We have the power now.* A strong message must be sent to the country and future generations that Trump will not be honored."
Why every vestige of Trump must be torn down
He's trying to create a physical legacy. The moment he's out of power, it has to be smashed to bits.

Speaking as someone who just wrote a book on the Manhattan Project, I can assure you that refugee immigrants were the *entire* reason the US mastered the atom first. The most chilling part of writing my book was reading about them fleeing fascism … abroad. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/fleeing-on...

Just a reminder for Xmas Eve eve, it’s a great time find your closest immigrant-owned business and support them. Get a meal tonight from a restaurant if you can. Commit to buying grocery staples at an immigrant-owned market once a week. Do what you can to help people keep their heads above water.

It’s MY district. And I’m excited to have choices other than Jerry Nadler and Carolyn Maloney for what feels like the first time in my adult life. I can live with a media circus and I won’t be voting for George or Jack.
That whole race is gonna be a crapfest. I'm glad it's not my district.

The US Administration has banned Americans from *adopting babies* from much of the African continent.

Adopting.

Babies.

What trait do those babies have that, when they grow up as fully American adults, would make them a threat to our country in any form?
On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

And that’s why journalists should never publish someone’s name before they’re charged, even if law enforcement is calling them a “person of interest” and even if you really, really want to beat your competitors

My favorite movie!
Reiner's THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT is legit one of my favorite films of all time. It's a film I would put on when I worked in video stores and can, to this day, quote line for line as I sit and watch it. It won't make most people's Reiner top 5, but it is far & away my favorite of his ASTOUNDING career
