We cannot let them get away with this.

They’re selling Trump’s brazenly criminal aggression the way they did George W. Bush’s.

Stephen Prager in Common Dreams quotes Adam Johnson writing in The Intercept: none of Trump’s “acts of brazen aggression, violence, and violations of international law have, in any sustained or meaningful way, been referred to as acts of war, a coup, or invasion in US mainstream media reporting.”

Prager writes: “CBS News said the US had simply ratcheted up its ‘campaign’ against Maduro. The Wall Street Journal used similar euphemistic language, describing it as a ‘pressure campaign’ rather than a war. And others, including CNN, described the attack as a limited law enforcement ‘operation,’ rather than the opening salvo of what the White House itself has suggested may be a years-long project of ruling Venezuela for the purpose of converting it into a client state.”

that indisputable fact is evident today as she quacks her way through euphemistic lies to defend Trumps’ criminal invasion.

On Fox “News,” of course.

At the United Nations today, did any nation defend our invasion of Venezuela?

This is the man who was sold in 2024 to America by the corporate media as a paragon of vigor and youth, infinitely more robust, we were told, than Joe Biden.

Trump’s Frankenstein dance is one of the most ungainly, bizarre, aberrational kinetic episodes this country has ever seen. Anyone can dance better than Trump, but Maduro’s zany dance of defiance so triggered Trump and his entourage, The New York Times reports, that it became the casus belli for his invasion of Venezuela.

Trump and his retinue are that sick. He is bombing everywhere. He wants World War III. He must be impeached before he burns the world down.

Their lawless aggression is exactly what the International Criminal Court Is designed to counter.

Look what he has done to the United States.

even after, 10 years ago, he lisped belligerently on Mitch McConnell’s cue about an imaginary “precedent” when McConnell mauled the Constitution and stole a Supreme Court seat.

Rubio’s lockstep confirmation was undoubtedly due in part to the inane advice of the vacuous Democratic consultants who insist that being “bi-partisan” is more important than demanding competence and integrity.

today, and he could barely speak intelligibly–let alone intelligently.

But we got the message anyway: the United States is a rogue, pariah nation willing to commit crimes and destabilize a continent to ensure that the oil giants rake even more profits.
