So it looks like Venezuela will be the wag the dog thing.
I know that it's bad to root for Guiteau. Maybe Ronald McDonald will finally get him instead.
But I still believe there is no other realistic moment at which our current trajectory ends.

so either a hardcore maga who has just been told he's stupid & his support isn't wanted is gonna turn out to be the Guiteau of our time
or there will be some big wag the dog thing intended to draw everyone's attention or cause riots & invocation of the Insurrection Act
something's gotta give

Trump's plan seems to be:
bomb random Venezuelans in fishing boats
so that "terrorist" Maduro will retaliate
so that Congress will declare war
so that he can send in the clean-shaven troops
to fight fight fight
so that we'll stop talking about Epstein
and he can be a manly War-Time President

All over my FB people talking about their bad experiences with shingles vax and dissuading each other from getting it! We need to give people real info on how to mitigate the symtoms caused by vaccines because vaccines are always better than meeting a virus unprepared. Yet drs aren't coaching ppl

8/ A public service reminder:
This entire exercise is an absurd, imaginary world for legal experts.
That's because the truth is:
It's not an armed conflict.
The laws of war thus don't apply.
The more restrictive rules of human rights apply.
It's extrajudicial killing under that law.

Facts like these two 👇, plus $1.79 US, will get me a large soft drink of my choice at my local McDonald's. So I've got that going for me.
(The second one is why I don't participate in our trivialized national rituals known as "Thanksgiving" & "Black Friday.")

And if the sources are actually from Russian Railways, then it’s not surprising that it wasn’t mentioned.
Part of the decline is due to Russian Railways inability to meet demand.
They want you to believe everything is someone else’s fault.

Seventy years ago today, the Soviet Union conducted its first test of a two-stage thermonuclear bomb at the Semipalatinsk Test Site in Kazakhstan. The parachute-retarded device was dropped from a Tu-16 bomber and exploded at a height of 5,085 feet. The yield was 1.6 Megatons, the largest test there.

Past is prologue.
In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests.
And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now.
This is not a history lesson, it’s a warning.

Yesterday's meeting with MBS has done nothing to dissuade me from this theory.
Guys, it's time for some game theory.
It's becoming clear to me that the goal here is the same as the goal of private equity: a leveraged buyout, then gut us, then force us into bankruptcy, then sell our remains for pennies on the dollar.
My question now is, to whom are they selling us?

@radiofreetom.bsky.social Tom, does it seem to you at all that things are being rushed? Wouldn't the better strategy have been to gradually build up to the point where the military intervention was seen as inevitable and necessary, instead of hastily slapped together with ICE cosplay guys?
