14 hours ago14 hr From a NYT interview (think it was yesterday).When asked how long he would be "running Venezuela”, Trump said it would be "much longer” than a year.After Trump initially claimed that the US was running the South American country, in the hours after the operation that seized President Nicolás Maduro, members of Trump’s cabinet sought to downplay America’s role in its governance. Since then however, Trump has continued to assert that he is in fact "in charge”.Saturday’s operation in Caracas has been described by some as a violation of international law, but in his conversation with the Times, Trump said, "I don’t need international law.”When asked if there were any limits on his powers on the world stage, Trump said: "Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind.”Trump said he was "getting along very well” with interim president Delcy Rodríguez, adding that the US would be taking the country’s oil and "giving money to Venezuela, which they desperately need”.When asked by the Times whether obtaining Greenland or preserving the Nato alliance was more important, Trump declined to answer. He did however acknowledge that it "may be a choice” between the two options.

It’s nauseating dealing with the idiocy on a daily basis. It’s why I’ve decided to use the ignore feature more.I've been mostly off for the past 6 or so months. But that has more to do with a new job that I kinda want to keep and having a 4 year old. I have no time for you tools.

I don’t think he was as bad as the left said, but I realize he wasn’t who I thought he was either.

It’s actually become daily subdued. There are still some decades old tension between some posters there, but I respect most of them regardless of I agree with them or not.

8 hours ago8 hr So, here comes the effort to undermine the election. All of this is insane, like all of his posts, but I particularly like the part where he claims that states must do what the Federal Government/POTUS says on elections, when the Constitution explicitly left elections to the states.This is all so tiresome. Why do we have an insane, dementia patient in charge of the executive branch?
