Maduro vows to declare a "republic in arms" if U.S. forces in the Caribbean attack Venezuela

So, do you suppose that today's White House announcement at 2 pm is that we're invading Venezuela? Or a follow up to the meeting with Russia? Yesterday was one of the two week deadline days specified by Trump. He's so vain about his health that he wouldn't dare say anything about that, no?
Rev. Magdalen (@revmagdalen.bsky.social) reply parent
He might have been getting medical care, or he might have been hiding out in a secure room berating a bunch of generals because he wants to attack Venezuela. I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Right? And every time it gets pointed out to them what a legitimately insane thing or is to claim that police are a recent, American, invention, they start the "Those weren't TRUE cops" nonsense.
Rev. Magdalen (@revmagdalen.bsky.social) reply parent
When you claim this kind of thing, it hurts our ability to fight fascism. Go LARP alternate realities where cops are just inherently racist, nothing can be done, so we all just have to lose a basic aspect of society, somewhere else.
Rev. Magdalen (@revmagdalen.bsky.social) reply parent
It's not. It's truly disturbing that you guys managed to convince yourselves of that. Read any history book from any area. Unless it's an extremely small kinship network, there are cops in all times and places.

Democrats dominated the black working class. Other working class people have no excuse whatsoever. Robert Reich blocked me over a decade ago on Facebook for pointing this out. The problem isn't "what should Dems do". It's "WTF is wrong with suicidally racist workers".

Liberals: “We could try to DO some things to reduce gun violence; ‘thoughts and prayers’ isn’t enough.” Republicans: “Outrage! Disgrace! They’re attacking prayer.” There’s no need to be polite or defensive in response to this. Invoking faith as an excuse to shun responsibility deserves no respect.

OK so he's not dead, but he's also not going very far to golf. So maybe he IS planning to invade Venezuela and that's why he was hiding. It's not like him to actually keep something secret though.

No, everyone just thinks he died from whatever messed up his hands and ankles. And Vance is hiding it, which we ought to impeach him for, if he is the secret president and lying about it. Doesn't matter either way, he doesn't have the power over the cult that Trump had.

Some are speculating that it's different from his normal posts because Gavin Newsom has shamed him, but I don't think that's a thing that could happen. Not only does he have no shame, Trump wouldn't notice anything unusual about his own posts and can't just write differently even if he wanted to.

Wait...Trump, recently seen very bruised and swollen, wasn't seen at all today and won't be seen over the holiday weekend, and this post supposedly by him reacting to news is unusually lucid and coherent. Did Vance write this one, trying to get the voice down for when he takes over?
