He is a raving lunatic. And now we're going to be dragged into a pointless war. He's going to cost even more lives. When are the Republicans going to grow a backbone and remove him?

Bay of Pigs, Vietnam, Iraq, Syria... I don't think the US has won a regime change war in over a century.

The clusterfuck FUBAR SNAFU quagmire morass that is our involvement in the Middle East is the fault of the conservatives. From the 1953 coup that installed the Shah of Iran up through the Reagan/Bush 41 dipshittery that spawned Al Queda, to Bush 43's illegal invasion of Iraq and then the disastrous dissolution of the Baath party, which then strengthened the nascent movement that became the Islamic State, all these stupid, ideologically ridiculous intrusions have only served to piss off the Muslim world. Now we have the Saudis and Qataris buying their way into our sovereignty through the avarice and corruption of the trump/kushner/witkoff asshole families. Swell.

This seems very unlikely, hope springs eternal, they say. Too bad there isn’t a way to take back the money that he stole and turn it into food for all those people who are starving due to his actions.

Apparently “moderate” Republicans in the House are working with Dems to extend the ACA (Obamacare) subsidies. Wouldn’t it be great if MTG (of all people!!!) started a snowball rolling down the mountain that becomes an avalanche? Plus every protest in the streets and at Republican town halls, and all the elections since Nov 2024, let them know they can join the avalanche or be crushed by it

Congress needs to convene and declare that we are NOT going to war with Venezuela. Only they have the power to declare war. This is truly bats*** crazy. It’s pretty clear he is only picking on them because they are small and weak. The bully of the Western Hemisphere strikes again. This so explains Trumps relationship with Putin. He doesn’t condemn him because he wants to BE him. And now he’s acting like him. What’s next? Start pushing dem senators out windows?

If he does start a war, we should refer to it as the Epstein war.

2/3 of Venezula is surrounded by land, how is it surrounded by an armada?

Tonight we will see (I won't, not watching) 90 minutes of a babbling mind, complete nonsense mixed with racism and poor chest beating.

25th, impeachment or....the time has come.

2/3rds surrounded by land! Thanks for that! Armarda? He can't get anything right. Or maybe he plans on heaving the ships of his armada overland--and then he can make a movie all his own and claim nobody has ever had such a brilliant idea!

I keep hoping that high ranking officers in the chain of command will refuse to start an illegal war, harming innocent civilians and putting our own personnel in harm's way.

I do believe that, "Rebellions are built on HOPE."

If this administration goes through with a war in and on Venezuela, then my HOPE is that we take to the streets and protest. Christmas means nothing if not a call to overcome the forces of evil and wickedness that threaten to undo us. Peace may be elusive, but our collective voices are not.

I won't be watching tonight, but it would be great if the US Marshalls showed up enforce, and dragged his bloated ass out of the oval office. The rats are squeaking loudly, and jumping ship. Of course, that leaves trump in charge of ALL those empty positions, leaving him the full blown authoritarian he's been striving for.

i admit that geography was never one of my strong subjects in school, so correct me if i'm wrong, but venezuela is nowhere near us, right? so how, exactly, did they steal our oil and land? 🤨 wtf is he even talking about? it's disgusting the way he's manufacturing a fake war. especially on fishermen.

Congress needs to grow a spine and impeach and prosecute the entire administration before they find out he’s usurped all their powers and they no longer can.

Every year (for many years now) I've done Toys for Tots at our local level. This is a program that was started by US Marines to provide toys for children less fortunate. Let me tell you this year just like all others there were many in need. But they do a great job and children that probably wouldn't get a Barbie Doll or Baby Doll or Lego Sets or various other things will get toys for Christmas. Apparently our leader doesn't understand what the US Marines have known for years. Children sometimes don't get ANY Pencils or Dolls or Lego Sets! But with their help this year they will. And we do that for both the parents and the grandparents of said children so they have a wonderful Christmas or at least better than it would be otherwise. And they also couple with the local Food Bank to feed said children and families that can't afford to do so on Christmas. As far as the Venezuela thing YES it IS a DISTRACTION from the Epstein Files. And NO we DON'T own oil fields in Venezuela NEVER HAVE and NEVER WILL. We own our own in NORTH America but the oil fields that our leader (?) is speaking of are in SOUTH America NOT here. I hope that the latest antics (including the rant about the Reiners deaths) keep those ratings dropping like a stone. And I hope "HE" has a VERY Merry (?) Xmas.

It is apparently apparent, that Orange Deranged Grinch plans to steal Christmas and declare war to cover his major failures as "president". He's been doing layups to this event since September 2. He has been concocting this plan since he met with Zelenskyy in the sprung and found he didn't have elections due to the war. You could see the evil spin in his mind regarding how he could use this plan. Vile and evil are the predominant features of this regime. Time to article 2 section 4 the whole lot of them!

Looking forward to the day Donold’s approval rating and the max setting on Nigel Tufnel’s amp converge at 11. Even at 31% can you call it an “approval” rating?
