Pretty obvious that Trump has no geopolitical strategy whatsoever but in his kindergarten mind he simply wants to be able to bully other world leaders. There's no plan for Venezuela and there never has been. He just found a big boy who would listen to his orders and beat up the other kids for him.

My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds.
I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are.
My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.

I call Tommy Tuberville every fucking week, multiple times a week, because he can be evil but I don't have to let him do it without pushback.
So I don't need to hear excuses. I call the dumbest senator in the country. 😂

Did you know that North Carolina has a utilities commission? And that if you are a citizen of North Carolina you can submit feedback to them about pending matters?

News: Gang of Eight in Congress were only notified about Trump's Venezuela operation after it began, source familiar tells me. That means the heads of the Intelligence Committees in Senate and House were *not* consulted. Just crazy.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

This. “I will not apologize for [banal stance]” tells us nothing about who you are and what you believe except that your life is governed by a perpetual argument with imaginary voices in your head.

By itself this would just be sort of tacky and inappropriate for a news organization, but “and make no apologies for saying so” is the real tell.
Incredible. CBS Evening News announces five new “simple values” — instead of their “38-page handbook” — as they roll out Tony Dokoupil is lead anchor.
One of those values is simply: “We love America and make no apologies for saying so.”

these fucking people. they pass laws to make sure every person with a screw loose who wants an Armalite can show up to the day care armed & ready to kill, then complain that the day cares are locked to protect the children inside
CNN: “Surely you don’t think a daycare should be unlocked.”
SHIRLEY: “There should be a reception area.”
CNN: “No, every day care is locked.”
SHIRLEY: “Fair point.” 🤔
He shows up to a day care with masked men and wonders why they don’t let him in.

There are a small group of people who plan their lives around tax avoidance and lax legal enforcement They will indeed move around to chase the lowest possible obligation to the society they live in.

Very rich people who live in big, cosmopolitan metro areas live there because of cosmopolitan metro area stuff.
If they wanted to live somewhere else, they would’ve moved already.
The people least troubled by cost of living will upend their life for marginal increases in cost of living? Come on.
