  1. Part about legal/illegal to film ICE, regular law enforcement hates it, but the weirdest case I ever had, was in a bus and a South Kitsap Fire EMT thought I was filming him and told me to stop.(I was scrolling on an app), I felt like reporting him to their higher ups, for dereliction of duty. The Bus Driver did not have the dispatcher call them to harass a passenger, he called them for a medical emergency. That particular bus I would not use the camera on anyway. I never do if the camera angle gets PSNS in the background. That day got to see Kitsap Transit’s customer service at least for Saturdays, near end of day, on the Port Orchard routes can do. The Supervisor with his vehicle took over the trip.(A loop serving the Ferry Terminal, Wal-Mart, Fred Meyer and back.,)

  2. Watched Game 2 of the Fivalry with Vancouver. A reverse of the game about a week ago when the Cannucks won in a shootout. NHL players will be in the Olympics, so the schedule is compressed, games are on average, every other day with a few back to back games. We already had both games with Montreal, plus the Eastern Canada Road Trip(Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto)

    Fivalry makes for a good name for the season series with Vancouver, even if it is BC Highway 99 North of the Peace Arch.

  5. @4 Yep. A full blown regime change operation. Explosions in the capital (and probably civilian casualties), videos of U.S. helicopters flying over the city, and Trump claims Maduro and his wife have been “arrested” and flown to the U.S. to “stand trial.”

    If so, Maduro was a bad guy, and good riddance. And if they pulled it off without a prolonged war (too soon to say), that’s better than, well, a prolonged war.

    Assuming Maduro has been removed from power by U.S. military force, all they have to do now is make sure the power vacuum they’ve created isn’t filled by something/someone worse.

    Easier said than done. The U.S. hasn’t been particularly successful with post-regime-change nation-building lately.

  6. The U.S. has a long history of overthrowing South American governments. How does that typically work out? Have the ordinary people there ended up better off? Have we?

    Sure, Venezuela was in a state of crisis. Venezuelans, it seems pretty clear, overwhelmingly voted Maduro out of office. Rescuing Venezuela from him and his cronies is, on paper, a good thing.

    The devil is in the details.

    The obvious successors to Maduro are the drug cartels. If he’s been removed from power, and from the country, can we just walk away? What kind of long-term commitment has Trump gotten us into?

    Another Afghanistan?

  7. @3 Reposting the same thought an infinite number of times doesn’t make it any more intelligent than it was the first time.

  8. Make it make sense.

    Venezuelens vote for you. You then want to deport them all because you portray them all to be violent criminals and they regret that they voted for you.

    You go after their President because of drugs, but you pardon the drug dealer President of Hondorous. And your child is a coke addict/user. I think the real goal is that the guy wants to be the drug kingpin, in reality. And so long as he can’t be that individual then nobody can be it.

    You go in and get rid of their President and they cheer in Miami.

    I think its the Heterosexual Neanderthal Virus.

  11. ‪Michael Kagan‬ “I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war”

  12. @ 7

    Reposting the same thought an infinite number of times doesn’t make it any more intelligent than it was the first time.

    Just as mocking it doesn’t make it untrue.

  13. So lemme get this straight…
    ;
    The DJT47 administration is about to lay the groundwork for what may be the installation of the most recent Nobel Peace Prize winner, who was barred from running in the most recent Venezuelan elections at a time when she was the leading opposition candidate, as the new leader of Venezuela…

    And HA libbies take issue with this? Because Orange Man Bad?

  14. Personally I’m here:
    “Doing the right things for the wrong reasons” means performing morally good actions (like helping someone or obeying laws) but being motivated by selfish desires, vanity, fear, or personal gain, rather than genuine altruism or moral duty, leading to a mixed ethical evaluation where the act is good but the intention isn’t virtuous, though outcomes can still be positive.
    The action itself might benefit others, but the internal motivation lacks moral integrity, potentially fostering future self-serving behavior or revealing hypocrisy.

  16. So pants shitter riffed for 3 minutes about crime in U.S. cities conflating “the recent terrorist attack” in DC with Venezuela.

    Asswipe can’t stop dreaming of the military occupying places that loathe its orange ass.

    Panama and Noriega was way messier as I recall. But Panama didn’t have a trial run like pants shitter tried to pull in 1.0.

    Who really pulls the strings on this? Has to be domestic oil barons. They need to raise the price of oil. They need to have leverage against OPEC.

    Iran is certainly next.

  17. @16 Forgot to mention Israel is running that Iran show. But back to this hemisphere.

    The administration’s National Security Strategy released in November spelled out a “Trump Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine.” Or as Trump put it on Saturday: “We’ve superseded it by a lot. By a real lot. They now call it the Don-roe Doctrine.”

    So they do this silliness to distract the rubes from Epstein. That won’t work against housing, electricity, food and imported goods costing way more making life intolerable for over half of households in this country.

  18. Maduro rhymes with pedophile.

    That’s why I went in.

    Face it everything for you rhymes with pedophile.

  19. And HA libbies take issue with this? Because Orange Man Bad?

    Can’t speak for evyerone else but I take no issue with it really. But the guise of drugs is bullshit, that’s what I have issue with. I have issue with “I don’t know what Project 2025 is”. I have issue with grifting and looting and the corruption under the guise of “National Security” or “Fraud”. Everything out of the mouth of that jackass, as well as the party (and MTG know it and said it) are lies and bullshit. I have issue with being a lawless fraudster. I have issue with the BIGOTRY and RACISM.

    There is no good deed or no “non controversial” deeds that can overlook that.

    And especially as follows: PEDOPHILIA and the Coverup of PEDOPHILIA.

    But I’d also like to see the Epstien Files.

    All of the above would be unacceptable to you if any Democrat did the same. That’s why you are a hypocrite and we are not. Go fuck yourslef you fucking lying racist traitor.

  20. I remember when Hugo Chavez said during the empty suit Bush daze that $100/barrel oil was a fair price.

    That’s a lot better for the domestic frackers (a bunch of always wrong wingers and pants shitter supporters).. The higher the better.

    They might get their way.

  22. What happened to America first?

    The White House said Saturday that an operation launched overnight to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife and fly them out of the country was justified in part by Venezuela having stolen U.S. oil.

    “As everyone knows, the oil business in Venezuela has been a bust, a total bust for a long period of time. They were pumping almost nothing by comparison to what they could have been pumping and what could have taken place,” Trump told reporters Saturday. “We’re going to have our very large United States oil companies — the biggest anywhere in the world — go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure — the oil infrastructure — and start making money for the country.”

    Sigh.. Argentina and Venezuela come first.

    In 1976, the government of oil-rich Venezuela assumed control of the country’s petroleum industry, nationalizing hundreds of private businesses and foreign-owned assets, including projects operated by the American giant ExxonMobil.

    1976 was way before Chavez. Chavez just took the last private assets remaining in the Orinoco Belt in 2007.

  24. the installation of the most recent Nobel Peace Prize winner, who was barred from running in the most recent Venezuelan elections at a time when she was the leading opposition candidate, as the new leader of Venezuela…

    lmao.. words of the pants shitter:

    “I think it would be very tough for her to be the leader. She doesn’t have the support within or the respect within the country,” Trump told a news conference.

    “She’s a very nice woman, but she doesn’t have the respect.”

    https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/world/machado-very-nice-woman-but-doesnt-have-respect-to-run-venezuela-trump/ar-AA1TvJXi

    Of course that orange pos would say. that. It believes Machado took ITS PRIZE. (rolls eyes)

  25. @ 14

    Personally I’m here:

    Only if you are in middle school. You have a child’s understanding of the world.

  26. @ 20

    I remember when Hugo Chavez said …

    I remember when Jimmah Carter and the other clowns at the OAS were fooled into telling the world that Hugo Chavez won his election fair and square.

  27. @25 Says the dumbass that believes Tim Walz remote controlled Vance Boeilter and was so braindead about Walz it forgot about Ilhan Omar and “Keith X”.

    That was some funnee shit.

    What was even funnier was orange pants shitter falling asleep as Nick Shirley babbled about antifa.

  28. @ 24

    Of course that orange pos would say. that.

    Is that the same as saying you disagree?

  29. I miss the old press conferences.

    The ones in which the independent press was told in advance what questions to ask and who should ask them, and dutifully did what it was told.

  30. And HA libbies take issue with this? Because Orange Man Bad?

    Because China doesn’t want nation building.

    It just wants oil. And it’s going to go get it one way or another.

  31. I miss the old days when Joe Biden sent John Kerry to make nice with Maduro under the guise of a climate change discussion:

    John Kerry’s handshake with Venezuelan leader raises questions
    NBC News · NBC News

    Former Secretary of State John Kerry seen shaking hands with Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro in a video posted by an Associated Press reporter.

  32. The same guys who invaded Venezuela and took a thug out of power used to work for Joe Biden and Boxcheck Momala.

  33. Is that the same as saying you disagree?

    Prostrate yourself before orange dear leader as it strives to make Venezuela a new U.S. State.

    You telling us you can’t wait for orange pos to make English the new state’s official language?

    Governor Marco Rubio. He speaks the OLD lingo. Excellent transitional figure.

  34. I’d like to thank the Nobel Committee for rubber-stamping today’s military action.

    Maduro is a tyrant, who ruled Venezuela illegitimately. Yet there are a raft of questions about the legitimacy of the U.S. operation to oust and arrest him, and what comes next.
    We’ve learned this before.
    You invade it. You own it.

    On the anniversary of a hopeful moment, it’s clear Trump’s Venezuela policy is a dead end. Millions are suffering with the Maduro regime still in power.

    He didn’t.

  37. We aren’t buying any more of your debt.

    And we are confident that quite a number of other debt holders will follow suit.

  38. US soy and wheat farmers are going to be good and fucked.

    Just in time for the midterms too.

  39. You invade it. You own it.

    See? So much for the lady who has a Nobel Prize but “no respect” in her own country soon to be a U.S State.

  40. Toppling a brutal, illegitimate dictator always works out very, very well.

    I promise.

  41. Axelrod was the biggest advocate of Obama’s actions to take out Gaddafi in Libya

    To prevent G from murdering thousands of Libyans precipitating a mass flotilla to Italy.

    Ya know, borders, language and culture?

  45. @13 The trick is making it happen, and it’s highly doubtful that Trump and his lackeys are smart enough to do that. Maduro? Good riddance. The devil is in the details of what comes next.

    After all, Venezuela isn’t Panama.

  46. “It was a Biden set up. Take any country you want. If someone sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail for the rest of his life.”

  47. @22 “As everyone knows, the oil business in Venezuela has been a bust, a total bust for a long period of time. They were pumping almost nothing by comparison to what they could have been pumping and what could have taken place,” Trump told reporters Saturday. “We’re going to have our very large United States oil companies — the biggest anywhere in the world — go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure — the oil infrastructure — and start making money for the country.”

    Now we know why he did it. Altruism had nothing to do with it. Nor did freedom for the long-suffering Venezuelan people (after all, he’s busily and violently evicting them from the U.S.). This probably lines his own pockets somehow.

    The problem is the Venezuelan military is the power base in that country, was the source of Maduro’s grip on power, and it’s still there. Think about what that implies.

  48. @24 If respect was a criterion for anything, Trump wouldn’t be president, he’d be a shoeshine boy or dumpster diver.

  51. @34 ” … what comes next” is the hard part, and who (besides you) believes the Orange Clown Show is up to it? And how much American blood and treasure will that cost, at a time when our services are struggling to meet recruiting goals and we’re being told we can’t afford food stamps or health care for our own working poor?

  52. The devil is in the details of what comes next.

    This script writes itself.

    An armed insurgency is already in the streets in Caracas before we have even managed to establish air bases to support an occupation. We all know how this turns out.

  53. This morning’s NBC News headline:

    U.S. WILL ‘RUN’ VENEZUELA, TRUMP SAYS

    and subhead:

    Some lawmakers criticize Trump’s attack, fearing a costly new war

    The details:

    “We’re going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition” to new leadership, Trump said during a press conference in Florida.

    In other words, the Venezuelan people won’t chose their next leader, he will.

  54. More details:

    The U.S. president added that the U.S. military was prepared to strike Venezuela again if needed.

    “We are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so. So we were prepared to do a second wave if we need to do so,” Trump added.

    After questions from reporters about whether the U.S. running Venezuela will involve military personnel on the ground, the president said, “We’re not afraid of boots on the ground.”

    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-venezuela-nicolas-maduro-strikes-run-country-transition-military-rcna252044

    Iraq, anyone? Or Afghanistan? It occurs to me that Israel has been trying to run Palestine since 1948 and …

  55. We told you Reagan was a corrupt liar. And it infuriated you, because you loved him.

    Then it was proved, even by his own admission, that Reagan was in fact a corrupt liar.

    So, because you loved him, you concluded that it was okay for a Republican to be a corrupt liar. And now here we are.
    Going to fight a war of occupation two thousand miles away in a hostile nation ruled by a military junta and a hostile population.

    Again.

    So now it has finally become undeniably clear to all of us who never loved Reagan that those of you who did must be extinguished from our national civic life forever or we will not survive as a nation.

  56. “We’re going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition” to new leadership, Trump said during a press conference in Florida.

    I’d like to say what’s “proper and judicious” for orange pants shit is Venezuela will become another US State as orange pants shitter is so thirsty for land and oil. Canada? Fucking Greenland?

    Sure, unlikely, even for pants shitter, but one thing it will DIE babbling (hopefully in office) – THE OIL IS OURS!!

  57. Going to fight a war of occupation two thousand miles away in a hostile nation ruled by a military junta and a hostile population.

    Remember, Grenada went swimmingly. Clint Eastwood made a movie. Bet dumbfuck went to medical school there.

    heh

  58. It’s all very simple.

    Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we’re replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he’s indicted for cocaine.

    We’re also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

  59. The U.S. will do what it always does when it puts the military in another country where it is clearly not wanted or out of place.

    It furiously tries to buy off the locals.

    Did that in Lebanon. Didn’t work. Failed spectacularly.

    Did that in Afghanistan. Worked to a point and then that collapsed to nothing.

    Does that everywhere. It never learns.

  60. @57,

    Grenada: an island in the carribean the size of Washington DC with a population the size of Bellingham.

    Venezuela: A land border of more than 5,000 km adjoining some of the most uncontrolled and remote territory in the western hemisphere and a population of 30 million with a median age of 30. There isn’t enough agent orange in all the world and there never will be.

  61. @60 our fearless misleaders are jonesing for a repeat. After all they’re guided by the Don-roe doctrine.

  62. 3, 7 & 12:

    Actually, Shoeonhead is correct: the Democrats really made a mistake by running Harris. She came across as a giggling little girl, rather than a serious candidate. Of course, the Democrats really didn’t have anyone better to run against Trump after Biden stepped down. It was just a bad choice, and the insiders in the Democrat Party know this.

  63. @ 37

    We aren’t buying any more of your debt.

    We don’t expect to have the money for it.

  64. @ 43

    As for drugs, Honduran President pardoned how?

    After being extradited to the US, being tried and convicted, and spending time in prison. Same path Maduro will follow.

    Which means the next Democrat president will have ample opportunity to pardon the imprisoned Maduro.

  65. @ 62

    It was just a bad choice, and the insiders in the Democrat Party know this.

    YLB knows it, too, but is too weak to admit it.

  66. She came across as a giggling little girl, rather than a serious candidate

    Of course you’d babble that. You and your gang of glibertarians all seem to have the same problem with women on the liberal side that you consider too mouthy or uppity, whether it’s an opinionated woman in politics like Hillary or a female comic.

    You all have the same problem because you are the same dumbass, whether it is shoeonhead, nil brains, pars, yossarian, pi or whoever.

    So lemee guess: gold standard, flat tax, no state income tax, fortress america, derp state, judge N, col macgregor, scooter ritter, vapors over nuke war with russia, my car tabs too high cuz light rail, ayn rand, david koch for vp, murray rothbard.. yawwwn..

  67. but is too weak to admit it.

    I laugh at your weakness for Tim Walz drumbfing your obsessive hatred of Ilhan Omar and “Keith X”.

    Thanks for being here. It’d be so dull with just the glibertarian’s views that haven’t changed a wit since way before 2004 to serve up laughs here.

    The babblin’ butthole’s spew was a hoot until that got too repetitive and lo and behold it had the sense to stop here when it retired to Florida to tithe most of its earthly horde to Ben Carson’s SDA congregation.

  68. After being extradited to the US, being tried and convicted, and spending time in prison.

    Yep spring him at the urging of the crypto AI bros before he blows the whistle on their escape island from the pitchforks and base of ops for whatever more thievery and tax avoidance they may have in play.

  69. We don’t expect to have the money for it.

    AI bros would rather build data centers the size of Manhattan for AI slop than pay their fair share for repuke endless wars that our resident dumbfuck wanted to see continue in Afghanistan.

  70. Trying to impress Bibi

    In Catia la Mar, a city just west of the Caracas airport, the air strikes hit a three-story civilian apartment complex, knocking out an exterior wall and killing at least one older woman, the victim’s family said.

    The woman, Rosa González, died in the strike and a second person was seriously wounded, the family said. One woman in the building said she was hit and nearly lost her eye. Another person, a 70-year-old man named Jorge who declined to give his last name, said he “lost everything” when the bomb exploded.

  71. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife arrived in New York on Saturday afternoon following a U.S. operation that captured the couple earlier in the day.

    Lemee guess. Maduro is put in Eppie’s old cell.

    And the guard will fall asleep

    and old Nicolás will hang himself. I said it here first.

  72. @56 Fucking Greenland?

    Greenland should be easier. Their army only has about 20 guys. Still, arctic guerilla warfare can be a real bitch.

    Meanwhile, I’m surprised Trump didn’t say “MY OIL,” because that’s probably his real intention. It wouldn’t be the first time he used U.S. soldiers to line his own pockets (e.g., U.S. troop flights diverted to his money-losing Scottish golf resort).

  74. @62 Everything is relative, and your neighbor’s dog or cat would have been superior to the alternative. Harris at least is a lawyer who’s read the Constitution, knows what rule of law is, and isn’t a convicted felon. So no, the moron repetitively posting @3 (and in other threads) like a broken record player is not correct, as he’ll find out when he’s the next U.S. citizen to be forcibly seized by ICE thugs, thrown into a van, and charged with obstruction for trying to show them his driver’s license.

  76. @71 Yeah, the fact they brought him to New York means he has constitutional rights, is entitled to due process, and they’ll need evidence of an actual crime to get a jury of New Yorkers who don’t give a shit about Venezuela to convict him.

    Maybe Bondi will charge him with stealing an election.

    Even Georgy Bush had enough sense to not bring captured Pakistanis into U.S. territorial jurisdiction and hence under the jurisdiction of U.S. courts, where they’d the same rights as you and me.

  78. Which means the next Democrat president will have ample opportunity to pardon the imprisoned Maduro.

    Hehehe. Keep up the good cover. But you’re delusional though, I like it.

  79. A U.S. occupation “won’t cost us a penny” because the United States would be reimbursed from the “money coming out of the ground,” Trump said, referring to Venezuela’s oil reserves, a subject he returned to repeatedly during Saturday’s press conference.

    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-venezuela-maduro-captured-reuters_n_69597a6ce4b09f7f2fbca917?vsr

    The imperialist practice of making conquered nations reimburse the conqueror for its costs of invasion and occupation is making a comeback.

  83. What a co in kee dink

    Today is the deadline for the DOJ to provide a detailed response as to why they illegally redacted the Epstein files released to sate and it’s 9pm Eastern and the DOJ have yet to comply with the order.

    Maduro rhymes with ‘we know Donald is a pedophile.’

  84. Just think how you libbies would be cheering if Maduro was captured by armed forces under orders from a Democrat president.

    YLB would be hoarse from all of the cheerleading today.

  85. Memory check:

    Geiger Capital
    @Geiger_Capital

    Biden removed Trump’s sanctions on Maduro if he “promised” to hold a free and fair election…

    Maduro laughed in Biden’s face.
    He’s no longer laughing.

    7:32 AM · Jan 3, 2026

    Here’s a photo of the WaPo headline at the time.

    Biden didn’t care. He was too busy arranging a pardon for POS Hunter. And his sister. And his brother.

  86. I’m sorry I missed Maduro’s capture. I would have been there protesting over it and getting screen time on MSNOW.

  87. Cry more, libbies. You’ll have plenty of company.

    Matt Van Swol
    @mattvanswol

    I can’t believe what I’m seeing…

    Every Leftist on X is crying about Maduro being removed from power…

    …and every single Venezuelan is celebrating it like there’s no tomorrow

    This has been one of the most eye-opening days.

    1:44 PM · Jan 3, 2026

  88. Dude’s on the money.

    Colombian President Gustavo Petro:

    A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep Epstein’s list from coming out, they send warships to kill fishermen & threaten our neighbor with invasion for their oil.”

  89. Trump made a mistake with this new Venezuelan adventure. The country is broke, and we can’t afford yet another stupid and foolish war in another country.

    In fact, it’s time for the US to simply leave all countries and mind its own business. The US is not the world’s cop.

    their hatred of Donald Trump.

    11:01 AM · Jan 3, 2026

  91. @ 89

    … we can’t afford yet another stupid and foolish war in another country.

    No, but during the last administration we could afford handing $400B to student loan borrowers who didn’t need it and never asked for it.

  93. ust think how you libbies would be cheering if Maduro was captured by armed forces under orders from a Democrat president.

    Complete bullshit from Dumbfuck

    No wars!

  95. …and every single Venezuelan is celebrating it like there’s no tomorrow

    I remember when Iraqis were celebrating, blowing kisses and spreading roses at my feet.

  96. 66,

    You would do well to listen to Judge Napolitano’s channel, particularly to Colonel Macgregor and Professor Sachs.

  97. @89 The US is not the world’s cop.

    Yeah, it’s Putin’s and Xi’s turn, don’t you agree?

  98. @96 Why would a liberal listen to that guy, unless he intends to become an anti-abortion, conspiracy theory-embracing, libertarian like him?

  99. @98

    You are a total fucking blithering idiot. What the fuck is wrong with you? Did you get dropped on your head as kid?

  101. Dumbfuck and all the other idiots here who mistakenly think liberals are “protesting” Maduro’s overthrow should watch the video below to improve their understanding of why people more intelligent and knowledgeable than them have a problem with Trump attacking Venezuela to take its oil.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wu9QSeAI22I

  102. @101

    It’s been apparent to me from day 1 of the second term that that’s what has been going on. Drumpf wants to be just like Putin and Putin’s aspirations. He’s been envious of Putin’s power and money.

    Dumbfuck is completely a dumbfuck or he is purposely being complicit with a Dictatorship. Well because he thinks he’ll come out ahead. And he pretended to be a “friend” of Puffy. Puffy, the Dumbfuck, was nothing to him, just a pawn.

  103. Over on /r/conservative, “Trump: US will run Venezuela to ensure peaceful transition” Of the 1.4k comments. a third have been deleted by the moderators and the ones the moderators left are of two themes.
    A) “Venezuelans in America are cheering about it”
    B) Dissatisfaction. “Start actually conserving something. In this country.” “OK, cool, how does that help Americans? ” “Nope, don’t like that.” “Can we deport the Somalis and jail the Democrats who went with it?? Can we look into fraudulent aid programs?!

  105. A Drumpf supporter could watch Drumpf pick his nose and pull out a booger, then be told by the charlatan that it is bees wax and tastes good. And they would eat it all up.

  106. So this thing was just a high falutin’ drug arrest at best, kidnapping at worst.

    Venezuela’s VP takes over. No opposition figure like Machado or anyone else. Venezuela protests to the UN or ICC or something like that.

    Assuming Maduro doesn’t “suicide” in the Brooklyn MDC, it goes to trial and the feds have nothing on him that isn’t manufactured is my guess.

    A guy like that “speaks in code” like Cohen said about pants shitter.

  107. Hamas has denounced the abduction of Maduro from Venezuela.

    I guess this proves that Orange Man Bad.

  109. The biggest loser out of the Maduro arrest is G-clown.

    After all, how will HA’s psychotic homosexual complain about gasoline prices once Venezuela starts pumping at a level reflective of its potential?

  111. So this thing was just a high falutin’ drug arrest at best, kidnapping at worst.

    “With 40 civilian deaths. We’re Jealous.” Philadelphia Police.

  112. Someone should ask Marco Rubio how he would have felt or liked it if one of his family members, adult or child, son or daughter, were killed in an attempt by the United States to overthrough Fidel Castro?

    Bob you Dumbfuk, keep Dumbfucking you Dumbfuck. You hypocrite, bigot, racist, fascist traitor to democracy.

  114. @ 111

    “With 40 civilian deaths.

    Cubans.

    Think of them with the same disdain that you showed for American contractors who died in Iraq.

  115. @ 113

    False narrative.

    Written by someone clueless that the entire “No Kings” effort is a false narrative.

    It might be the homosexuality.

  116. … gasoline prices once Venezuela starts pumping at a level reflective of its potential?

    It was about the drugs Bob. Didn’t you watch the video posted by Roger @101? Not the oil, but the DRUGS!

    And by the way, if you need to watch the video to understand what is going on you are a complete complete complete DUMBFUCK. You and the rest.

  117. @ 106

    Venezuela protests to the UN or ICC or something like that.

    So far, Venezuela protests only to X.

    Someone should ask Marco Rubio how he would have felt or liked it if one of his family members, adult or child, son or daughter, were killed in an attempt by the United States to overthrough Fidel Castro?

    Or maybe ask him how he would have felt if his brother-in-law had been blown up on one of those boats trafficking drugs:

    POLITICS & GOVERNMENT
    A Reminder That Marco Rubio’s Brother-in-Law Was a Prolific Cocaine Trafficker
    While Trump deports immigrants for old drug charges, Rubio’s brother-in-law was the frontman of a drug trafficking operation.

    While the Trump administration is busy deporting immigrants with previous petty drug offenses, a member of the president’s cabinet, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has a brother-in-law who served over a decade in prison on federal drug charges after emigrating to the U.S. from Cuba. His name? Orlando Cicilia.

    When Rubio was 16, Cicilia, who is married to Rubio’s older sister Barbara, was arrested on federal drug charges for dealing cocaine.

    My guess is that Rubio’s response would be something like FAFO.

    G-clown is an embarrassment to his fellow liberal homosexuals.

  121. As you ponder the idiotic remarks by Boxcheck Momala regarding yesterday’s US military action, a reminder that the one individual in the inner Obama circle opposed to taking out Osama bin Laden was…

    … Joe Biden.

  122. one individual in the inner Obama circle opposed to taking out Osama bin Laden was…

    Out of the “circle” was teh widbee kreepfuck who babbled that gas prices would make “teh next Jimmeh Carter”..

    Heh, while trying futilely to forget “Obama killed Osama”..

  123. @ 122

    … forget “Obama killed Osama”..

    Credit where due. It certainly is a good thing that Barack knew that Bob Gates was absolutely correct about Joe Biden, don’t you think?

  124. The biggest fake winner of the Maduro abduction: teh widbee kreepfuck..

    Domestic oil barons want a higher oil price like Hugo Chavez wanted. It’s too expensive to drill in the U.S.

    Unless of course they set up shop in a conquered Venezuela and squeeze every ounce of profit wrecking the country – what they lose on domestic ROI they make up on volume. Laid off roughnecks in the U.S.? Who cares about them? Plenty of cheap labor in Latin America.

    The long game is to weaken OPEC. It’s gonna take time. It will cost a shit ton of munee using the military. With Israel calling the shots on both Venezuela and Iran holding the nasty pictures of Eppie and pants shitter – it’s a lock to happen within the next three years.

  125. So, this is either another Trump TACO (in which case, yes, he’s in the files big-time) or we’re invading and taking the oil, (in which case it’s a fairly clear announcement that we are at peak oil).

    And if it’s the latter, then Elmo will be forever remembered in history as the drug addicted billionaire who squandered the EV market at the perfect moment.

  126. the one individual in the inner Obama circle opposed to taking out Osama bin Laden was…

    … Joe Biden.

    And the biggest supporter:

    Hillary Clinton.

    heh, credit where due. Add the Gaza genocide to that. yawwwn.

  127. My guess is that Rubio’s response would be…

    That’s all you got are guesses and nothing more. Didn’t work well guessing at the answers on the failed medical exams. But good deflection try.

    YLB, thanks for the memory.

  129. @128 Anything to forget that this country’s foreign policy is guided by Israel through extortion right up to boots on the ground in both Venezuela and Iran.

    In its pea brain, no matter, Israel is the country that can do no wrong.

    Oh but who am I kidding? This is the troll schmuck who voted for “boots on the ground” John McSame who spewed “gook” as McSame was asking for the troll’s vote.

    Just added to the attraction no doubt, aside from the other guy was black. And the black guy’s policy was “we’re not going to do stupid shit”. “Stupid shit”? How dare that black guy? There’s nothing “stupid” about killing as many swarthy skinned people with funny last names as possible. Lot fewer of them to worry about.

    yawwwn..

  130. With the resignation of the judge who ran interference in order to let an illegal escape the clutches of ICE, I can’t decide whether the bigger loser is Elijah, or a failed former attorney and current useless, bloviating fool.

    The former has the bigger ego, while the latter has an impressively large posterior with his head permanently stuck up between its cheeks. It’s a tough decision.

  132. you left out this country’s weather.

    Oh pants shitter has that under control. A nuke in the eye of a hurricane will stop it short of the Mar a Lago sex club.

  133. A 67 year old senior judge retires to focus on her very viable criminal appeal against a DOJ criminal division that is facing a 4,000% increase in its rate of dismissals and reversals, and Democrat Tony Evers gets to appoint her replacement.

    And our degenerate gambler in residence counts this as a stunning victory.

    Sure, bigot.

  134. @ 133

    And our degenerate gambler in residence counts this as a stunning victory.

    Nah. That was when RBG bought it.

  135. Rubio just announced it’s another Trump TACO*, saying we will not be taking over or intervening further in Venezuela, except to threaten an oil blockade. Venezuela has reacted by cutting production.

    Enjoy your “$2” gas. /s

    *So, yes. He is absolutely in the files. And Congress really should not let up on getting the files released to the public to expose the degenerate perverts who rape children.

  137. @102 Drumpf wants to be just like Putin and Putin’s aspirations.

    Exactly. The gist of what the historian said in the video @101 is that after two world wars in quick succession, to avoid another world-scale war between countries now armed with civilization-ending nuclear weapons, the victorious Allies established a rules-based global order that respected national boundaries and sovereignty.

    Putin wants to replace this with “spheres of influence,” a throwback to colonialism times when big powers exercised sway, often by force, over smaller countries within regions they controlled. That system was characterized by exploitation of resources and subjugation of weaker peoples.

    Putin and Trump would divide up the world as follows: Russia gets Europe, China gets Asia, and the U.S. gets North and South America, to do with as they please. The people in those other countries would be ruled with little or no say. It’s not exactly a return to the Middle Ages, when kingdoms fought over territorial control, but it’s a throwback to a colonial era that followed.

    This is desirable? Probably not even to MAGAts. As MTG, suddenly an unexpected ally of anti-Trumpers, pointed out it’s not “America First,” a sort of revived isolationism of the sort that preceded WW2. Trump is now talking about conquest, not withdrawing into our own borders. He wants to expand those borders without the consent of, say Greenlanders or Denmark, by military force if necessary.

    The objection is not to Maduro’s ouster. Everyone agrees he’s a bad guy and an illegitimate ruler. Nobody gives a shit what happens to him now. The objection is to Trump’s interventionist policies and the damage he’s inflicting on the rules-based order, which he attacks on Venezuelan vessels, and now the country itself, plainly violate.

    But this is too complicated for the shallow minds of Trump cheerleaders, or the lying dumbfuck troll, to grasp. Moreover, even if they comprehended the principles at stake — and its principles, not personalities, that matter in this — they don’t give a damn about the rule of law, they only care about results, in this case grabbing resources (Venezuela’s oil, Greenland’s minerals), which of course is what Trump talks about, and taking those resources from their rightful owners by any means is all he and they care about.

  138. Bondi just Tweeted that Maduro is “indicted” on “Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns (sic)”.

    Please note that there is no federal law forbidding the possession of a machine gun in the United States.

    There are a bunch of federal laws very heavily restricting machine guns in the United States, and making it both very costly and very difficult to possess one. But she is claiming in a tweet to have an indictment for a crime that does not exist.

    Bondi, who it may be useful to point out at this point was Fat Hitler’s second choice after the even more unqualified Matt Gaetz was pulled from consideration after it was confirmed that he had been raping children and supplying them with narcotics, is simply too stupid to understand that the charge she has indicted Maduro for is not possession. Rather, it is a secondary charge related to the principle charge of narcotics trafficking, which applies greater penalties to that crime if the accused was in possession of certain firearms at the time of the offense.

  139. @106 I think it’s safe to say that Trump, with his eye on Venezuela’s oil, has no intention of letting a democratic reformer like Machado run the country, even as a figurehead.

    It’s important to understand that removing Maduro doesn’t necessarily end the regime. The real power in Venezuela is the military. They propped up Maduro, he enriched them, and Trump likely will seek to cut a deal with them that leaves the power structure and corruption in place and cuts American oil companies in on the action. He’ll offer to reopen the oil spigots and flow of money if they play ball with him.

    I mean, who’s gonna believe Trump cares about restoring democracy to Venezuela, or is interested in putting a more left-leaning government in authority there?

  140. Rubio just announced it’s another Trump TACO*, saying we will not be taking over or intervening further in Venezuela, except to threaten an oil blockade.

    lmao.. Guess Venezuela just needed to be sent a message – Boss Israel says no hosting Hamas or Iran. Or else. We’ll bomb you for your “antisemitism”. We’ll kill or capture more “narco-terrorists”.

    As for the oil, Chevron’s there already.

    So pants shitter is keeping its powder dry for U.S. Cities.. or Iran.. After all, Bibi just visited the sex club.

  141. The real power in Venezuela is the military. They propped up Maduro, he enriched them, and Trump likely will seek to cut a deal with them that leaves the power structure and corruption in place and cuts American oil companies in on the action. He’ll offer to reopen the oil spigots and flow of money if they play ball with him.

    That makes sense – as long as Israel is sufficiently mollified.

  143. https://www.nbcnews.com/world/venezuela/us-allies-foes-fear-maduros-capture-sets-precedent-rcna252141

    as President Donald Trump boasted that the U.S. possessed “capabilities and skills our enemies can scarcely imagine.”

    Really? Like China and Russia? I can see greater than Russia, they can’t even win the war with Ukraine.

    But who are the other enemies? Europe? Canada? Mexico? Austrailia? England? Who are those enemies.

    This man has declared every nation an enemy, the past doesn’t matter.

    Shameful.

    China has no shortage of people to fight.

  144. Bob’s hostility towars gay people would be solved if he just expressed his desires and grabbed on a man’s cock to suck and not the horses.

  146. But this is too complicated for the shallow minds of Trump cheerleaders, or the lying dumbfuck troll, to grasp.

    The lying dumbfuck troll is distracted with his struggle of the desire to have a large manly cock down his throat, he’s practiced long enough on the horse, he should be able to do it.

  149. “Venezuela today is more free than it was yesterday,” Noem said, adding that “every individual that was under TPS has the opportunity to apply for refugee status”. She added: “We need to make sure that our programs actually mean something, and that we’re following the law.”

    This is the most hilarius thing I ever heard.

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/rep-marjorie-taylor-greene-says-154729783.html

    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., slammed the Trump administration’s capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, saying on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” Sunday that the operation was part of “the same Washington playbook that we are so sick and tired of that doesn’t serve the American people.”

    Greene argued that President Donald Trump and his administration “campaigned on Make America Great Again, that we thought was putting America first.”

  151. @ 138

    Bondi just Tweeted that Maduro is “indicted” on “Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns (sic)”.

    Wow, Elon must have some pull if a casual weekend tweet supersedes an issued federal indictment.

    Or did “We beat Medicare.” mean that Biden thought Medicare had been ended?

  154. Is there anything Donald Trump cannot do?

    Ayatollah Khamenei plans to flee to Moscow if Iran unrest intensifies
    The republic’s supreme leader has plotted an exit route out of Tehran should his forces fail to quell dissent, an intelligence report reveals

  155. Is there anything Donald Trump cannot do?

    Like higher oil prices for pants shitter’s donors? Confidence is high for its success.

    Pants shitter can arrange for someone to take out Machado and it can claim “my” [pants shitter’s] Nobel Prize. Take a tanker, why not claim its “Prize”.

  156. 151,
    I’ve read the indictment.

    The idiot troll has not.

    And neither has the idiot Bondi.

    Maduro is charged with narcotics trafficking with an enhancement for automatic weapons.
    18 U.S.C. 924 (c) (1) (A), (B) (ii).

  158. LMAO… toodaaaammnfuneeeee… This could be something yours truly missed in part.. But kreepfuck you have an orange soul mate:

    President Donald Trump is amplifying baseless social media posts that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz had been part of a conspiracy to kill Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman last year over a day care fraud scandal in the state that’s been spotlighted by right-wing influencers.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/01/04/trump-conspiracies-walz/

    only thing missing is Vance Boelter being mind controlled by Tim Walz to be a programmed ASSASSIN! O but wait a sec. Missing? NAAAH..

    scratch that:

    In the video Trump shared Saturday night, an unnamed narrator claims without citing any credible facts that Walz, also a Democrat, directed Boelter to assassinate Hortman because she voted against “a multibillion-dollar money laundering fraud” — a reference to a years-long welfare fraud investigation over day care centers in Minnesota that has been amplified in recent weeks…

    who could the “unnamed” narrator be? teh widbee kreepfuck??? Lastly:

    Among other things, the conspiracy video shared by Trump also incorrectly claims that Boelter was a Walz aide. Boelter did not directly work for Walz, and his only known connection to Minnesota politics was as part of a 60-member Governor’s Workforce Development board, an unpaid advisory board.

    We at HA all know that fantasy gives way more meaning to the “life” of teh moldering kreepfuck of widbee than mere factual reality.

  159. We were so elated and overjoyed when U.S. forced overthrew Saddam in March of 2003 and then captured him one month later.

    Some time later on we were not quite so happy, and mostly we were very scared. Then some time after that we were very dead having been murdered by US Marines.

  160. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!

    Hey, how come I don’t get a flight suit with a cod piece?

  161. @153 The same scam as “eliminating taxes on Social Security.” No, that didn’t happen. Instead, Social Security pensioners get a $6,000 deduction from ordinary income, which effectively means only the first $6,000 of Social Security income isn’t taxed. For low-income retirees in the zero tax bracket, the deduction is worthless. Retirees in higher tax brackets get more tax savings than those in lower tax brackets; a retiree in the 10% bracket saves $600, while one in the 37% bracket (who needs it least) saves $2,200. If you really wanted to help struggling pensioners, you’d enact a flat tax credit, not a deduction.

  162. @155 What usually happens when outsiders help themselves to a country’s oil is that the locals start blowing up wells and pipelines.

  165. @ 164

    Speaking of finality and farewell, this will be Tim Walz’ last term as governor.

    Sunlight is the best disinfectant, even just days removed from the Winter Solstice in the far north of the US.

    Anyone out there still think Boxcheck Momala chose wisely?

  166. @ 165

    Better yet, Amy Klobuchar might jump into the race, which would vacate a Senate seat at a time when Minnesota Democrats are about to have a lot more to answer for than they did in 2024, 2022, and 2020.

    Democrats would also be defending two Senate seats in MN, although they pulled it off in 2020, in Georgia.

  167. I see the equity markets were not spooked by DJT47’s Saturday actions in Venezuela.

    Just the opposite, actually.

    A reminder that Joe Biden could have done this, too. But he was too busy trying to give $400 billion to former students who were paying off their loans with no problem at all. And pardoning his POS family members. Except for the offspring he diddled in the shower when she was an eight year-old girl .

  168. Because it would have been hard to award him a second Nobel Peace Prize once he had been in office long enough to begin doing stuff.

    On December 12th, 2013, Barack Obama ordered a drone strike in Yemen that ended up hitting a wedding party and killing 12.

    Since then, he’s won 3 Emmy Awards, 2 Grammys, and a Kennedy Center Honor for Justice & Human Rights.

    So yeah, I’m ok with President Trump grabbing Maduro.

  169. Some adults still in the room at WaPo and NYT.

    The New York Times and Washington Post learned of a secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin Friday night — but held off publishing what they knew to avoid endangering US troops, two people familiar with the communications between the administration and the news organizations said.

    The decisions in the New York and Washington newsrooms to maintain official secrecy is in keeping with longstanding American journalistic traditions — even at a moment of unprecedented mutual hostility between the American president and a legacy media that continues to dominate national security reporting.

  170. Sure, sure, idiots.

    Minnesota is right there just barely within your reach. Go for it. Pour in lots of money and weird beards with machine guns and podcasts. Please do.

    Minnesota is right there just barely within your reach.

    Walz didn’t drop out because of what’s been reported. He dropped out because of what hasn’t yet been reported, but soon will be reported.

    It’s fortunate, is it not, that the RNC has far more money at its disposal this year than does the DNC.

    And say…. anyone see the early equity market figures this morning?
