  • Trump has been asking the DoJ about invoking the Insurrection Act over the immigrant "invasion" since, I believe, inauguration day. The escalation of ICE presence, activity, and tacticsay very well be an intentional effort to provoke a resistance that the DoJ would feel comfortable recommending invoking the Insurrection Act over.

  • When my car was stolen the police and the county toll road authority both confirmed that neither would bother co-ordinating when my toll tag in that car registered on the toll road sensors.

    Are the majority Venezuelans actually happy trump just stole their president?

  • How is this different to Iraq?

    Bush had approval from Congress. Trump didn't even notify the gang of 8 until after the kidnapping started.

    note: I'm not condoning the invasion of Iraq.

    Venezuelans, how ecstatic are you that the great benevolent untied states of america has come to your rescue and saved you from the dictator you installed?

  • There's a decent sized population of Venezuelans where I live (in Texas). They were having a street party after the news broke.

  • You haven't explained how Leave it Blank is a tankie thing.

  • Future NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani has made bold promises. Can he keep them?

    Jump

  • How does an endorsement of the Leave it Blank campaign equate with being a tankie? Leaving a primary ballot blank makes it completely unignorable that there are active voters who don't support the candidates. It's the actual way to send the message that non-voters like to fantasize they're sending.

  • Biden actually kept his promise not to seek reelection

    Is there a citation for a direct statement on this? All I have found is his statement in 2020 of being a transitional candidate or a bridge. I agree it's reasonable to equate this to not planning to seek a second term. But it would nice to have a more direct and explicit statement of such to cite.

  • Dragged down by an unpopular president, Republicans are bracing for a midterm trouncing

  • The reason is they won't listen to voters who are willing to left perfect be the enemy of better.
