US Elections (& Politics) :)

And of course yesterday at the bequest of his handler who just visited for the 5th time in a year, Trump once again threatens military action against Iran, for…er, we’ll think of something ..

Now that Americans are waking up to find we’re at war with a 3rd world country in South America (shakes head in disbelief)… does this mean the Trump Administration will use Emergency powers to prevent the release of the 5+ million “newly discovered” Epstein files?
 
Have to admit, I fell for the bullshit Somali Minnesota diversion too ….

If you actually care, dig into the boy wonder reporter Nick Shirley who broke it, and his family…
We’ve been played, again.

 
So Trump just launched a military operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who has been indicted on drug trafficking charges … five weeks after he pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who had been convicted of drug trafficking charges….


If Maduro is smart he’ll plead guilty, get sentenced and then pay a Trump associate a few million bucks to get Trump to pardon him.

Bartenders and bus drivers....wow.

In July 2024, Maduro appeared to suffer a landslide defeat in the presidential election, amid widespread anger at his increasingly authoritarian rule and Venezuela’s economic collapse. The Biden administration recognised the opposition candidate Edmundo González as the victor. Detailed voting data released by the opposition and verified by independent experts indicated that González had won the vote, but Maduro clung to power after launching a ferocious crackdown.

Maduro has been the president of Venezuela since 2013. The former bus driver rose to prominence under Chávez, working as his minister of foreign affairs before becoming the country’s president after Chávez’s death.

Maduro’s rule is considered dictatorial, with the UN estimating in 2019 that more than 20,000 Venezuelans were killed in extrajudicial executions. Key institutions, such as the judiciary, have been eroded under Maduro and the rule of law has deteriorated. Relations with the US have also suffered under his rule.
