War with Venezuela...the US is stealing oil and creating a distraction
I mean, he REALLY needed to redo that East Wing. Priorities!
We don't need no health insurance. General affordability of staples? Very overrated. And as long as he can make billions in his personal accounts (ILLEGALY - but SO WHAT?), we are all quite happy.
All hail the leader. Let's go get Colombia and Greenland next!!!!
Then taxes are the worst ROI, i.e. compounded negative return, ever, anywhere if they fund billionaire health and welfare without benefitting the people/society.
Yes, Donald J. Trump pardoned Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández. "Hernández had been sentenced to 45 years in prison in June 2024 after a U.S. federal jury convicted him of conspiring to import cocaine into the United States and related firearms offenses. According to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Hernández and his co-conspirators trafficked more than 400 tons of U.S.-bound cocaine through Honduras between 2004 and 2022. In his pardon announcement, President Trump asserted that Hernández had been treated 'unfairly.'" https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IN12621
Comments: This goes to show you how much Donald J. Trump really cares about drug smuggling. I don't know the details pertaining to the Hernández pardon, but ill-begotten gains were probably involved. What an effing sham!
An unlikely name is being floated to take charge of U.S. moves in Venezuela after the Trump administration snatched the country’s leader and brought him to New York to face drug charges.
Hours after Saturday’s surprise attack, President Donald Trump told reporters the U.S. will seize Venezuela’s oil reserves and “run” the country for the foreseeable future, though he’s been vague on what exactly that means.
With Trump mostly relying on a small group of business insiders to handle foreign affairs after he gutted foreign policy infrastructure, the White House is considering giving Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller a key role overseeing post-Maduro operations in Venezuela, The Washington Post reported.
It’s not clear how any U.S. official can “run” a foreign country of 30 million people.
Bold added. And now you know the current "admin" is really trolling the world.
Puke bucket, please. No need for any sort of government that SERVES the governed--- unless you're a billionaire. It's all about dollars and cents. But skip the cents (like the IRS already does) because that's just chicken feed.
3 things you can rely on : - there is no geostrategic plan despite all the retrospective attempts to explain gop actions - trump will move on from vz once he gets his cut or things go south - doge will not provide an estimate on taxpayer military costs to steal foreign resources for american oil corporates
Wonder what Stephen Miller did to get exiled to Venezuela. Or, maybe, the Venezuela populist did something to the King and Miller is their retribution.
