We cannot become numb to the outrage of this. The wife of the President’s Senior Advisor threatens a sovereign nation.

Marco Rubio must know that when the US engages in regime change things in that country get worse, not better.
But he still wants to topple leaders all over, especially in Cuba.
The only conclusion I can draw is that he hates Cuba, and wants it to suffer.
Or maybe he's just stupid 🤷

That answers my question from yesterday. It’s only an acceptable loss if you are not one of them.
The New York Times has just confirmed that 40 civilians died in President Trump's invasion.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

How many times, how many nations have we done this to with disastrous outcomes.
Our soldiers die, we spend billions of dollars (why we Americans can't have nice things like national healthcare and a livable wage and decent infrastructure)
I don't care if the talking heads are justifying this.

Happy to let you know that in the northern hemisphere we’ve now done the darkest two weeks in the year. All the other 50 weeks will be lighter than this.

What! Not liberal scum? Well then that’s the last statement Fox News will run from him.
“Federal prosecutors said Sunday the man accused of planting pipe bombs in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 5, 2021, told investigators he felt compelled to "speak up" for people who believed the 2020 election was stolen…”

America has entered a time of isolationism that echoes the inward turn of the 1930s. We will no longer lead. We’ll snipe from the sidelines.
That turned out really well.

"Some things simply can’t be undone. The United States will likely never recover the full trust of our allies in Europe and Asia, who now know that another Trump is always at most four years away. Confidence in the rule of law in this country will remain shaken for generations."
As the president graffitis his name to beloved institutions and builds monuments to his own vanity, we must focus on how much fun it will be to tear it all down. trib.al/RMvevUG

Hey @cnn.com your friendly ICE training story should include this video.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

This is my Christmas present. A constitutional law review that discusses bills of attainder which was brushed past in my legal education. (Just because you ignore case law you don’t like, your opponent and the court will not. And you will look stupid and/or sloppy.)
