Jeezus H. Christ. We're now a fully rogue state.

As sent to my GOP TFG protege House Representative:

"Now that 'president' Trump has launched a clearly unconstitutional war so as to enrich himself and his friends with Venezuela's oil, are you AT LAST going to wake up and honor your oath, and remove this tyrant from our highest office? Or are you going to remain the cowatd and toady you have been thus far? We your constituents deserve to know!!!"

That fucking bastard and all his sniveling sycophants in Congress! I hope MAGA is proud of their “peace” president who was going to get us out of wars.

This is really beyond the pale. All our former allies should completely shun the US in every way possible. The international court should declare Trump a war criminal. All our ambassadors should be sent packing.

Bondi says Maduro will be prosecuted. For what?

For the moustache. It makes him look like Stalin. I don't approve of it.

Chris, I am speechless and breathless. This is your best.

I normally say Trygve is the best writer on Substack. His style is very different from yours. But he's tied for best, as of today.

Attacking other people, killing them, and stealing their stuff is the essence of being an American.

POTUS just now: "We're going to run Venezuela."

Brilliant breakdown of the petrodollar mechanics at work here. The bit about permanent dollar demand through energy markets really cuts through the narco-terrorist smokescreen. Back when I worked in commodities trading, watching OPEC price negotiations made it obvious how much leverage that system gives Washington. The Maduro capture feels almsot too brazen though, like they're not even pretending anymore aboutrespecting sovereignty.

An illegal coup under the pretense of the "war on drugs". Shitler just handed a pardon to the last South American drug dealer slash president of Honduras Juan Orlando Hernández. Now he wants to strip the country of it's oil and natural resources to pay for the "mericans for liberating them. I haven't been this angry in a while and that's saying something these days.

Congratulations, Pumpkin Pedophile. You may now add International Terrorist and Kidnapper to your long list of crimes.

Maybe NOW the ICC will arrest him.

Lordy.

I just hope no one drops a dirty bomb on us before he gets captured.

Hope Trump thinks he can go to another country & not get arrested. If some country really wanted to snag him, they could make an attempt.

That is what he makes possible by pulling this illegal bullshit!

We are at war with Venezuela for no other reason but oil & the Epstein Files! Trump being our leader makes us irresponsible & accountable to the world!

Trump thinks he can do anything he wants with NO consequences!

FUCKING DELUSIONAL MOTHERFUCKER!!

On the open market, oil trades in US dollars. Our dollar has seen a 10% drop in value since trump regained power. It will decline further as the growing BRICS coalition relies more on itself and much less on America for trade.

The Republican wish list has become a ball and chain for this country. As our billionaires grow comfortable with their New World Order cosplay, the rest of the world moves on in a progressive direction.
