I hope Aaron is Draft Age

He should experience the fruit of his vote in person for the next few years, working on delivering the Venezuela first agenda with his boots on the ground.   

 

We will be in Venezuela for decades, as Trump says, we will be running the country. Liberation, my ass.  It is the enslavment of the Venezuelan people and the setting up of a vassal state for Trump's billionaire buddies to plunder, which is exactly what Germany and Japan did during WWII. 

I am sure they will make out like bandits while regular Americans foot yet another unnecessary and very large bill that will make what we spent on Iraq look like the spare change JD Vance found under the couch cushions.

 

I will give Aaron some credit in that he exceeded my expectations that I would never meet a dumber person than David Miller on the LVA when it comes to politics.    David is dumb because he chooses not to think.   The sad thing about Aaron is that he actually thinks about stuff, then reaches the wrong conclusion about everything he thinks about.  

 

I'd hate to have to tell my kids or grandkids I voted for America's Hitler. Sadly, those kids will have to endure America's shame throughout their lifetime just like the German kids who grew up in post-World War II Germany. Russia, Communist China and good old America are the new axis powers.

This country will be far better off when Trump cleans things up.

Yep, just like Iraq and Afghanistan are lands of milk and honey right now.  The Venezuelan people will never love us because we own the country and all of its problems from this point forward.  We are responsible for all of the awful conditions and hardships they encounter daily and we will have to fix them. We will be building them an entire infrastructure while we let ours crumble. I bet we even end up providing them a US Goverment funded sigle-payer healthcare system just like we did in Iraq while we are raising healthcare premiums on US citizens by 114% here. So much winning!

It's not his to "clean up." And do you really think that Trump intends to do anything other than loot their country and enslave its citizens? They'll be like Poland in 1940.


Vichy Venezuela.

No, inaccurate analogy. Vichy France wasn't occupied and looted for two years after the Nazis defeated France. I would compare Venezuela's fate to that of Poland in that same time frame.

No. Even a vassal state governs itself, albeit only with the approval of its masters. Trump has barfed out that he will "run" Venezuela. They will have no independence and no autonomy, and after Trump gets through with them, no wealth.

Im really interested to see what kind of response the American Public has and how it impacts Congress (especially Republicans) going into a midterm election where they are already under water.   

 

This is going to be a BIG wedge issue.   For Republicans.      

 

Nobody asked for this shit.   Nobody wants it.

Well, you know that while many MAGAs disapprove of Trump's actions past and present, very few of them have the balls to express their opposition, for fear of being branded apostates and subjected to "retribution " So I don't really see a MAGA running for office in a red state and openly stating that Trump's policies are caca.

 

What we might see, though, is primary battles between routine Trump-slaves and candidates who want a post-Turd world. Which would be more popular--lackeys or apostates? Maybe it would depend on how badly Trump has fucked them over...like a Congressional district full of bankrupt soybean farmers or thousands of people who have lost their medical care or SNAP benefits.
