All those “illegal alien”, “drug smugglers” now gonna be legal non-white citizens … Hahaha!
The US will never live down this level of stupidity and callousness.
I feel like it’s pretty much our brand? Has been for a while?
The difference is that people are questioning whether they should keep trading in dollars. This is new.
Before people trusted us to honor important parts of our commitments. Now people expect the worst from us in nearly everything. We lit an assload of soft power on fire and it will likely contribute to our “downfall” from global hegemon to competing great power. Silver lining is that a lot of the wealth we’ve skimmed off the top of the global economy for decades will now start going back to our allies and industrially underdeveloped parts of the world held hostage by our dominant military and economic position.
Only people who weren’t in agreements with you previously thought that.
Some sure, but not everyone. It took a hit during the Bush years, but the Trump administration has eradicated anyone except lunatic conservatives trying to betray their own country for a taste of power.
Sadly, no. It does seem like that though.

To distract from Epstein files.
According to the Constitution, Trump cannot legally declare Venezuela the 51st state without congressional approval or Venezuela’s consent.
There’s that pesky concept again that Trump doesn’t seem to understand, or have, or know about.
“Trump cannot” (and “GOP cannot”) is the down-beat in the song of life. It doesn’t seem to matter what the law says for right-wingers when they’re in power. They will do what they please in the absence of adequate resistance.
Edit: in this case, though, I doubt it’s more than another distraction from the Epstein files
Cannot only matters if someone stops them which hasn’t been the case thus far
Not only that- the “resistance” only gets shitty and defensive when you point out their failure to resist.
without congressional approval or Venezuela’s consent.
I assume they mean and? Even in a world where Venezuela did agree, you still need Congressional approval.
I mean Hawaii’s consent was pretty shaky back in the 50s
Or care. Also he’ll do it anyway and nothing will happen. We knew he raped kids in 2016.
Well he has been able to do a shit ton without out congressional approval that he wasn’t supposed to, no wonder he thinks he get do it without Venezuela’s consent as well.
It’s ok. Congress doesn’t know about it either so he’s clear.
Senile old man yells at clouds again…
I bet they would send ice to deport the Venezuelans.
Why didn’t I think about this? This isn’t about resources, or annexation. This is about him being the president who added another state. Something Obama didn’t do.
Moron, he could easily make Puerto Rico the 51st state.
PR isn’t sitting on vast oil reserves, waiting to be plundered.
I never had any interest in visiting the US, now I have actual reasons to never go. Thanks big orange baboon!
The dream of Curtis Yarvin is alive in Venezuela
Do it! We need some more states. Let’s crush the Republican control.
I’ve been saying it for years. We can solve the problem of illegal immigration in one fell swoop!
