Brillaint breakdown of how Trump's Venezuela move mirrors exactly what a Gunn villain would do. The contrast between Miller openly admitting we're operating on "might makes right" while Fetterman tries spinning it as noble democracy work is pretty telling. I watched the Superman film last month and the Lois interview scene dunno why but it really stuck with me, especially how she kept pushing back on the idea thatgood intentions justify everything.
Even if she does agree to share or outright give it, it will never transfer to him. The Nobel prize will be invalid according to the rules or do I have heard. Perhaps other more knowledgeable and less lazy people than myself will let me know. It’s not about Venezuela or the oil. That’ll take a lot of cooperation (not a Rump strong suit) and costly infrastructure that will take years to implement before you see this “high quality” oil. It’s about getting Cuba I think.
And yes everything he touches turns to shit. If they’ve corrected for this I’d be very surprised. They’re horrible a the long game.
Venezuelans may be dancing in the street right now, but they won't get wise, ethical leadership to replace Maduro. What they will get is more of the same, whoever takes over. I will be happy to be wrong on this prediction.
The only way this stops is if Americans decide that they're tired of having the unreconstructed party having unitary control of its government. It was important for them to stop the Black lady so that they'd be free to torment people they don't like (such as Black people, trans people, and women who don't want to be under the thumb of abusive chuds.)
NATO isn't going to do a single thing if/when the pricktator attacks Greenland. Or Mexico.
I’ll add that Dems complaining about process just makes them look weak and irrelevant. No one cares about process if they think the policy is good—even through the lens of history (Jefferson making Louisiana Purchase, Lincoln activities during Civil War). Yes, point out that this kidnapping was a criminal act, but focus on how this fiasco makes things worse for the U.S. by wasting money and resources to make Venezuela less stable and drive up oil prices and create floods of new refugees.
No one gave a shit that the Vietnam War was illegal (and arguably it was legal, based on Congressional action and continued funding) but they sure cared when body bags came home and even after the body bags stopped they cared about the cost driving up inflation. Hit that hard because this war is not getting more popular.
Democrats are as useless as tits on a bull and it’s astonishing that a group of people so obsessed with doing what polls well can’t see that Trump’s Hitler-esque foreign policy is not just unpopular now but will only get more unpopular when the sheer incompetence of his meth-addled cronies makes a total has of it. This will only be a treasury-wasting mess that will leave Venezuela worse off and flood more refugees into its neighbors and the U.S., less oil will make it to the market, and our alliances will be strained when we may need them soon more than ever. But imbeciles like Fetterman think this will win him the working class (sorry hoodie, they’re not buying what you’re selling, go buy another Harvard degree) and the limp responses from Dem leadership are reminding voters to just not vote if they hate Republicans and get nothing but mush from Democrats.
And each day this demented child rapist remains in power, weakening us with every move, we get farther from any possible recovery. Great job, America, we are worse than any banana republic which at least could remove a bad leader.
He is unpopular now but the Supreme Court ruled he has official immunity, and there's also unitary control of government by his same ethnonationalist, racist, transnational criminal syndicate. Official immunity and the 14th Amendment being dead-letter law really do go a long way. I'll even go further and say NATO won't do a thing if he attacks Greenland and Denmark.
I always appreciate your takes. May simpatico. OT but Oil Topic. Any insight into Chevron buying sanctioned Russian infrastructure for $22 billion after administration striking down previous offers? Is easy invasion worth the distraction for the Family cut?

"How to deal with dictators."
A la Mussolini, Ceaușescu, et al.
