It’s ABSOLUTELY a protest, despite trying to rebrand it otherwise.

Shame on these parents for using their kids as a prop for their politics.

A reporter already asked him and he said he’ll be at work and not home.

Stripping an American of rights and locking him up in a gulag?

Tuberville is un-American and I wish his voters knew or cared.

That’s shockingly vulgar. And yet Republicans who clutch peals will vote for him over a Democrat no matter what.

Has this board done ANYTHING yet? I assumed they vanished after Trump’s party.

When were they ever UN sanctioned?

Even if the author didn’t think this was the reason, you’d think they’d even bring it up once to debunk it.

As Trump liked to say to his opponents, he doesn’t have the cards.

Here’s the problem as I see it. Trump, Hegseth, and Rubio are deeply overconfident. Trump’s former ambassador was telling BBC that Venezuela is much easier than Iraq. Trump fell into the same mistake as Bush did of thinking the president is unpopular and that the outside opposition is all set to swoop in and replace the government and give Trump everything he wants in oil. This is too tantalizing. The problem is that the new government is not stable, patriots and nationalists and pro-Maduro pro-army forces will resist and fight a foreign occupation. Trump thought he could skirt the problems of Iraq by doing only airstrikes and wrapping up the whole conflict in less than 60 days (so that Congress can be cut out of the whole thing).

Rebels can sabotage the oil lines, that means the need for troops to protect the oil. That will go longer than the 60 day limit; so either Trump will have to find another military or ask Congress for authorization. Trump will likely force Congress to go along; Republicans are too scared to cross Trump and Democrats are afraid of being labeled unpatriotic for not going along with it. The fact is that Dem leaders are being silent on this. The only good take I’ve seen is Graham Platner issuing a statement about how illegal this whole thing is, not defending Maduro or sounding unpatriotic.

Long story short, Congress will meekly go along with Trump’s war as a fait accompli. Nobody wants to be painted as anti-troops or pro-drugs or whatever Republicans will smear them as.

The Centrist Democrat is saying we should support centrist Democrats?

Well yeah he does support it unironically.

There’s a lot of illuminating info here, this small interview is actually a big deal.

They’ll block his policies and allow special interests to run attack ads, then will savage him in the next primary that he was ineffective at carrying out his policies.

That’s a literal war crime.

Time Variance Authority, from Marvel universe.

Agreed. They voted to censure Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib (both Muslim Democrats) but not Randy Fine (Republican Islamophobe).

Democrats hate Muslims more than they hate Republicans. First Mamdani now this.

Cuomo is such an embarrassment and a liar to boot. He lied and said he didn’t remember talking to Trump, then tells donors he and Trump have a plan. He tells the public he is Trump’s worst nightmare and then tells donors he has a plan to appease Trump.

All year long Mike Johnson has been a hypocrite. On like every issue out there. He got angry about Hunter Biden but claims the Trump family shouldn’t be investigated. He championed states rights but the opposite when Trump infringes on them. He fights California but defends Texas.

The man has no conscience.
