    What is the difference between the US Navy and Trump's private pirate fleet?

    Were the Venezuelan ship escorted by US Navy ship? Were the ships in that armada all flying the Jolly Roger?

    "Our laws are clear: You can refuse illegal orders."

    For those words, the DOJ tried to get a grand jury to indict six Democrats who appeared in a video with that statement. The grand jury refused to indict.

    For saying those same words, the DoD tried to punish Senator Kelly. A federal judge put a stop to it.

    Free speech wins. Vengeance and political prosecution lose.

    Hopefully Trump throws out the first pitch at the WBC Final — or is honored in some way. The fans of both teams love him!


    GOOD DAY

    It’s also very stupid for Trump to think he has a friend in Dulci Rodriguez and the Venezuelan government. Yes, they let you kidnap their president because you had like 25% of the US military parked on their doorstep ready to bomb them into the dirt. That’s not a negotiation made as a trusted win-win partnership. That’s simply saving your own life to turn on a friend when you have a gun to your head.

    Thinking things are peachy and that decision to pull the world’s most expensive mob hit on a country like Venezuela won’t have repercussions down the road is the height of naivety.

    But that’ll probably be a problem for another president in the future. One thing’s for sure though… Trump is gonna need one hell of a secret service detail when he leaves office. Dude is very lucky to still be alive in so many ways. You become a mob boss by wacking every other mob boss in town, you’ll maybe be the top guy in town for awhile but eventually that will come back to bite you.

    I hadn't thought of that, but when you piss off most countries, there will be a cost down the road and I am afraid it will be terrorism of some form and the Secret Service will be busy the next few years protecting the orange bubble butt

    That’s a pretty loaded question. The Iranians arm and support militia groups like the Houthis that they believe serve their interests. Keep in mind that the United States also armed and supported rebel militias in Afghanistan back in the day to fight back against the Russians. That militia then become known as a little known group call Al Qaeda.

    Yes Iranians have militias they arm and support that the US has labeled terrorists. It doesn’t mean that the United States MUST go to war with every country that arms rebel militias. Especially when those rebel militias are not directly attacking the United States, and its civilians. There is also nothing wrong with US troops in the region protecting themselves from those rebel militias if they are firing on US troops. That’s a far cry from bombing Tehran and blowing up schools with over 100 school girls.

    LOL Right, except the same brutal regime is in power, but don't let that get in the way of the narrative being pushed.
