Congress isn't going to do a damned thing.
Trump is still mad that his first term attempt to depose Maduro was a failure. And as a two-fer, Venezuela has lots of oil.

You are here
Continue reading.It’s hard for most Americans to imagine what it would be like to live in a society without the rule of law protecting them. I spent more than 20 years leading U.S. government–sponsored justice projects in countries with weak to nonexistent democracies, including Albania, Mongolia, China, Cambodia, Vietnam, the Republic of Georgia, and Armenia. Those of us who have worked in nations like these don’t have to imagine what it looks like when a place’s leaders demonstrate no regard for the rule of law. What we’ve seen overseas looks a lot like what we’ve started to watch unfold in this country over the course of the past 10 months. Some of these experiences abroad, when we see them happen here, offer the biggest clues that our own democracy is beginning to slip away.
And, in case you'd like to object.

Yes, he IS that stupid
Most of his voters rely on "Democrat programs" to get by.
He's not Republican or Democrat. He's simply mean, vindictive, and self-interested.
Unconscionable
Avoiding swearing her in is the reason Republicans in the House are NOT in the House and haven't been working (although they ARE getting paid) for five weeks while the government is shut down and other people are about to go hungry starting tomorrow when SNAP benefits are cut off.
What the HELL is in those Epstein files?
Trump actually has dumped shit all over America
That awful AI produced video he posted of himself piloting a fighter jet dumping shit on No Kings Day protesters shouldn't have been limited to protesters.

ICE: not sending our best
That's a joke. They don't even have to take a civics test. Unlike immigrants who wish to become citizens.
They're alive!
Meanwhile, the House is stuck with Mike Ass Kisser Johnson as Speaker, and the Republicans are on indefinite vacation.
Well, there you go
With Congressional Republicans home on indefinite vacation and millions of people about to be cut off from food assistance and unable to afford their health insurance, Trump is totally focused on building monuments to himself.
Yes, we're the baddies now
Never to be heard from again.
They're doing their level best to start riots in Chicago.
UPDATE 11/14/2025: Simply evil.
Resisting
These people are barely human, if at all.On the 28th day of the government shutdown, a federal judge extended her order blocking the Trump administration from using the occasion to fire thousands of workers.
The leader of Democracy Forward, one of the advocacy groups behind the lawsuit, celebrated the ruling.
“This order is positive for the American people and a major blow to the Trump-Vance administration’s unlawful attempt to make the Project 2025 playbook a reality by targeting our nation’s career public servants, who work for all Americans,” the group’s CEO and president Skye Perryman wrote in a statement.

Before she issued a temporary restraining order earlier this month, U.S. District Judge Susan Illston commented on “the human cost” of the Trump administration’s “politically motivated” decision to lay off thousands of people during the government shutdown.
On Tuesday, Illston began a roughly 90-minute hearing by reading the stories of some of the workers affected, including a sworn declaration from Air Force veteran Sonya Crocker.
“Prior to my current job, I worked at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and before that I was in the United States Air Force,” Crocker wrote. “During all that time, including during my combat deployment, I have never gone through anything as traumatizing as what I am now experiencing.”
[...]
[Justice Department senior attorney Michael Velchik] argued that the public voted for Trump’s mass layoffs.
“I mean the American people selected someone known above all else for his eloquence in communicating to employees that, ‘You’re fired’ — like, this is what they voted for,” said Velchik, quoting Trump’s tagline on “The Apprentice.”
All Rise News
“Eloquence of doing so?” Illston repeated, incredulously.
“Yes, he’s known for, above all, I think that is sort of what he was known for,” Velchik insisted.
Attorney Danielle Leonard, representing a coalition of unions led by the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), carried out Velchik’s argument to its logical endpoint.
“What counsel is arguing is that if Congress lets government funding lapse for one day, the president can fire the entire federal government,” Leonard noted. “That is absurd.”
UPDATE 05:19 pm:
I'm pretty sure there won't be a lot of body cam video, nor will there be many - if any - use of force reports.
Bovino personally tossed a gas canister into a crowd. But the fact that he has to personally go to her with the report speaks volumes about how serious she is. Of course, he's a Trump goon. We'll have to see if he complies.
UPDATE 06:29 pm:
Jackass. Or cow. Is Bovino Italian for cow?
UPDATE 10/29/2025:
You knew that was coming.
You knew that was coming.
