Trumps Presidency 2025

[Tigerbomb13]

I love how the pressers for Kegseth and little Marco are just to lick the boots of Trump 

[CMRivdogs]

We learned absolutely nothing from Viet Nam, Iraq, Afghanistan etc

What we really need is country leaders lead from the front lines. Not draft dodgers making decisions behind a safe desk

[Tigerbomb13]

Uhhhh

[CMRivdogs]

Marco looks absolutely thrilled

Uhhhh

I wouldn’t trust any one of these people to run a simple game bored Rover 

[Motown Bombers]

Little Marco is the only competent one in the cabinet and he just rolls over. 

[Tigerbomb13]

They are just brazenly not hiding it. Just wow. 

[Motown Bombers]

They’re just threatening everyone now.

What a way to celebrate our nations 250th birthday.  Doing that which we fought against.

I’m surprised he didn’t introduce his great friend Miguel Cabrera as the new President

One piece of this Venezuelan fiasco I haven’t seen mentioned: Would this invasion take place if Donald’s approval ratings were higher? Is he also trying to win back MAGAts from his Epstein erosion?

Well, better go talk to ya boy then

[romad1]

In a sane world, the Republican Senate and House leadership would be baying for his blood.

This is nation building.  It’s a hostile takeover of an oil empire.  

[Tigeraholic1]

Such an important fact here.

Is Miggy Trump's great friend? It absolutely would not surprise me in the least.

Venezuela is a member in good standing of the United nations, a sovereign nation that is supposed to be in charge of its own affairs. They are now a United States possession. This is nothing but flat out imperialism. The Soviet Union was right about us the whole time.

It's one thing if a coalition of nations were to work together to remove a citizen-murdering despot from power. That is eminently defensible. It's another matter when the biggest baddest mother****ing country on the planet overthrows a government just to drill, steal, and sell off the oil, which is precisely what Trump said today we are doing. Notice how he didn't say boo about fighting drug trafficking during the press conf today? If Trump wants to give the rest of the world a real hot foot, he can put that ex-Honduran president he absolved of drug trafficking in charge of Venezuela now. Think he won't? Keep on eye on Kalshi, it might just show up there as a prop bet.

I'm sorry, I want to be happy as the next guy that Maduro is out, but I would have wanted that to happen the right way, through the people of Venezuela, and not through the military adventurism of the United States.

This was more than merely the brazen and craven act of a convicted felon dictator. It's also a huge middle finger to the rest of the world, except for Russia and China, for reasons romad1 has already articulated.

How about you go talk to your boss's boss and tell him/her they can't do the thing you don't want them to do? 😏

A couple of points:

1) It's hard to take this administration's actions today as some sort of gesture toward freedom and democracy when they have continually antagonized a sovereign country defending itself from an unlawful attack (ie. Ukraine) from a corrupt dictator

2) It's hard to take this administration's actions today as some sort of gesture toward freedom and democracy when they have continually taken aim at our own freedom and our own democracy at home

3) Nicolas Maduro is a bad bad leader. But there are many bad bad leaders out there. Why is it in our interests to take *this* one out and not all the others? This administration has not once made the case to the American people as to why this action was necessary... but we're all supposed to be in awe or some **** over it

Here's the indictment

If being a criminal is cause for another country to take out a leader…. Can someone come here and take our guy? You can have his wife too if that helps.  She might pose for some nudes for your troops.

That's very 2003 leadup to Iraq logic as well, isn't it?

[GalagaGuy]

Taking all the politics out of this, it's pretty damn amazing that we just went into a country and snatched up the sitting President from his safe space on a military base without losing a single person or aircraft.
