Who is running the country?” - given everything, it is a fair question and one all Dems should be asking over and over. “He is falling asleep during an announcement to the country that we are at war!! Who is running the country??”

Stephen Miller and Russell Vought. That second guy is very happy if you forget him. Also a bunch of 20something Dogebros, a few hawkish military types promoted to Peter Principle levels, and the Thiel/Yarvin collective.

Well, to be fair he never ran anything first term or second. in business he only made big decisions all of them the wrong decision causing endless bankruptcies. Bannon and Miller and others tell him “do this and you will put money in your pocket.” like pardons, stealing Venezuela’s oil etc.

If Delcy Rodriguez is smart, she'll record every conversation she has with Trump, Rubio, or anyone from the administration, and then play it back over live television.

Again, every Senate Democrat, including @gallego.senate.gov, voted to install Marco Rubio. Now we're in a position to trust guys like Gallego to actually do something to stop this madness. PS: Gallego also voted for Trump's crypto scam legislation & he got significant funding from crypto industry.

@gallego.senate.gov also voted to install Dictator-in-Waiting Marco Rubio. Every Democrat KNEW Rubio would do whatever Trump wanted him to do - including helping him illegally invade foreign nations & starve children around the world to death. #Venezuela #2026Midterms #2026Elections

I’m sure Fox viewers are now furiously calling and emailing Fox to complain that Gallego was allowed to speak the truth on THEIR channel. How dare anyone be allowed to call out their fuhrer on his deception and greed!

This shit right here, what Republicans have been doing for 50 years, and dems just keep capitulating for decorum, is why they need to be cutthroat, no one reaching across the aisle, Republicans would hang every dem if they thought they'd get away with it.

Is it still illegal to lie to Congress when you are Secretary of State? bsky.app/profile/atru...

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Christian Ortiz, a Venezuelan man, told Drop Site. “We understood immediately what was going on: the United States empire has a history of domination towards the people of the global south...They’re trying to recompose the geopolitical balance of the world,” he added. We are the terrorists.

Don’t be stupid, we are not terrorist, however, we have an atrocious track record in Latin American foreign policy. This little soirée in Venezuela last night will come back to bite us in the ass a 100 fold.

Pity, I missed the part where we throw people out of high rise office buildings, slaughter journalists, poison dissidents , bomb hospitals, school buildings and imprison people for being ignorant.

They all did. And unanimous consent resolutions for the entire year. They rushed Trump's nominees to their votes and subsequent positions as fascist underlings instead of being lightly rude.

For example, the first person you cited, HUD secretary Eric Turner. Two UC agreements sped along his nomination. "By unanimous consent agreement, debate 2/5/2025." "By unanimous consent agreement, mandatory quorum required under Rule XXII waived." They did this over and over.

GALLEGO: Well, they're just gonna lie. FOX NEWS: Do you mean Fox News or the president? GALLEGO: Trump will lie. Fox News will repeat his lies, unchallenged and unchecked. FOX NEWS: I'm told we have to wrap now. Happy New Year, Senator.

Of course Johnson knows nothing - heard nothing, read nothing. He probably does not know about what happened in Venezuela - and has never heard of Maduro. He may not even know there is a country named Venezuela

Sounds like this is the beginning of the end. It's like a golden handshake with Putin and Xi Ping who also want to decimate the Rules Based International Order established after the horrors of WWII. We can not believe the most corrupt regime the US has ever seen to tell us the truth.

So, will our Democratic leaders start holding trump accountable for his actions, for anything ? I sincerely doubt it. However, it would be nice if they proved me wrong.

Democrats need to strongly and uncompromisingly demand that Trump is removed from office for illegally starting a war for oil that benefits no one.

The only avenue for Trump's removal is impeachment though. We'd need some congressional Rs and about 20 Republican senators to make it actually happen. I do think Dems should denounce him but they can't really do anything about this on their own.
