@highbrow_nobrow If Carl Lewis gave Trump his 100m Olympic Gold medal it wouldn’t make him a champion sprinter.

@AstronomyMag @AAS_Office Looks pretty empty to me, and comparing anything to the “super” bowl is not a compliment.

Donald Trump says climate change is a “hoax” and a “con job”. But at the same time the US position is that they need Greenland because the melting Arctic ice is creating a security risk. At this point, I think it’s pretty clear who the real con artist is.

Roy Cohn taught Donald Trump three rules: 1. Never admit when you're wrong 2. Never concede defeat when you lose 3. Attack anyone who attacks you even when you're wrong. 50 years later - in 2026 America - we are living under the insanity and tyranny of those three rules.

@AdamPollock @PolitlcsUK Too right Adam. The government needs to keep out of our lives. Personally I can’t understand why we are all obliged to drive on the left hand side of the road, and traffic lights are such a damned nuisance. It takes the fun out of driving. It’s just insane government overreach.

After all those months of babbling about fentanyl and “narcoterrorism” and freedom and democracy, the Trump administration has come right out and admitted that its regime change interventionism in Venezuela has always been a good old-fashioned oil grab. “We’re gonna take back the oil that frankly we should have taken back a long time ago,” Trump told the press following Maduro’s abduction, saying “We’re going to be taking out a tremendous amount of wealth out of the ground, and that wealth is going to the people of Venezuela, and people from outside of Venezuela that used to be in Venezuela, and it goes also to the United States of America in the form of reimbursement for the damages caused us by that country.” “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, and we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so,” Trump said. “We have tremendous energy in that country. It’s very important that we protect it. We need that for ourselves, we need that for the world,” the president added. Trump made it explicitly clear that this is going to be some sort of long-term US occupation project, contradicting early claims of his supporters who had defended the president’s actions in Venezuela as a brief in-and-out, one-and-done special ops intervention. “We’re going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition,” Trump said. “So we don’t want to be involved with having somebody else get in. And we have the same situation that we had for the last long period of years. So we are going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition.” “We’re not afraid of boots on the ground,” the president added. “And we have to have, we had boots on the ground last night at a very high level. Actually, we’re not afraid of it, we’re we don’t mind saying it, but we’re going to make sure that that country is run properly. We’re not doing this in vain.” You would think after all these incredibly honest admissions that this was a regime change operation aimed at controlling the resources of the nation with the largest proven oil reserves on the planet, people would get real and accept that they were lied to about the Trump administration’s real reasons for targeting Venezuela. But I am still getting Trump supporters prattling on about drugs and terrorism and democracy in my social media replies defending my criticisms of his monstrous act of war. I had one Trump supporter try to tell me the president’s admissions that it was all about the oil don’t necessarily prove it wasn’t also about fighting drug trafficking, arguing that it could possibly have been motivated by both. Which to me kinda sounds like a grandmother acknowledging that yes, she had been victimized by an email scam, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the nice man who scammed her wasn’t also a Nigerian prince. Trump supporters would make excuses for literally anything he did. Literally anything. I am not using hyperbole for effect. There is literally nothing he could do that they wouldn’t twist themselves into cognitive pretzels trying to justify. Trump is spelling out the truth of what he is and what the US empire is, and anyone with open eyes can see it plain as day. For those whose eyes are open or are beginning to open, I hope you continue learning the same lessons with Venezuela that you learned with Gaza. The US empire always lies, the mass media always facilitate its lies, and the global south continues to be ransacked by the murderous abusers who run things.
