Dozens of Venezuelan and Cuban security personnel were killed in the US raid, after which Trump said Cuba was “ready to fall”, noting the island’s deep economic crisis and that it would be difficult for Havana to “hold out” without cheap Venezuelan oil.

Earlier on Sunday, the US president reposted a message suggesting the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, whose parents were Cuban immigrants, could become the country’s new president, adding: “Sounds good to me!”

Rubio as president of Cuba? Spare me 🙄

US Govt has advised all US citizens to leave Venezuela, seems a militia is going after them. Oil execs were right

DoorDash driver runs into house, terrified, chased by ICE. Video of house owners protecting her as much as they can - given they are also terrified by the armed agents crawling all over their house.

The term "domestic terrorist" comes to mind...

Suspect arrested in Jackson, Mississippi synagogue arson. The house of prayer was previously bombed by the KKK in 1967 after the rabbi spoke against segregation and in favor of black voter registration:

I'd be very surprised if the 2025 suspect does not have a similar motive. Police are investigating potential motive.

If only Trump had a nephew of President John F. Kennedy to ask on his cabinet to ask about the Bay of Pigs Invasion, a failed military landing operation on Cuba in 1961.

Jerome Powell, the guy that aggravated Trump with OCR non decreases, is under investigation for criminal activity.

Not really news, just the dictatorial narcissistic norm

Cheezels Ceaușescu
MABA, Make America Bankrupt Again,

Maduro and Trump so alike, run your economy into the ground.
You are stealing everything so it hardly touches you.

Desperation just makes it easier to get enforcers, to break the people.
They can see the poverty awaiting if they don't carry through leaders commands.

Break any thought of civic duty and civility and you get Putins Russia.
Too few to protest and too few to care if protesters disappear.

The dog eat dog economy of Elon, Thiel, Zuckerburg and TechBros dreams.

They called Kamala a radical ! Yeh Right.

In effect we have everything to hide from someone, and no idea who someone is.

India is in trade talks with Germany. Germany is amajor power, albeit battling at the moment. India is a HUGE power. Modi and Trump had what will obviously be a "great" meeting. But India is still dealing wth 50% tariffs. When the Trump tariffs came along, I posted that friends will work with friends, the expected Germany and India FTA is a prime example. Ironically it will help Trumps tariff regime. He bleats about trade imbalances, so if there is an FTA then Germany and India would reduce exports to the US, win, win. But Mr Trump, they will also reduce imports from the US. Friends will develop a trade import/export relationship to their mutual benefits. US will need to manufacture/grow what their past friends dont need to supply. Another Trump win, lets make it in America. But the US citizens may need to get used to US manufacture/growing prices. Thats ok, they will be poorer, the Trumpist regimes can garner more control. Obviously Trumps regime will be long gone by then, but the seeds are being sown now.

The is getting ridiculous. Trumps meeting worth oil execs the other day, I wont repeat that again to save ink :-)

Exxon being the size it is got great praise from Trump. Exxon said it was uninvestible. Fair call. Trump has now stated that they were looking at not including Exxon anyway, or words to that effect.

Same old diatribe. Like me I will look after you. Disagree I will go after you. The rights/wrongs are not relevant, its only about the likes. And that plays out every day, we see "likers" like Noem one of many examples, being put in a gold shoe, because she likes. Nuff said.

And more importantly, took a piece of paper out of his pocket and used it to tell Trump he was flat out wrong, to his face, with TV cameras filming. And that - the renovation program - is what his alleged crimes are all about. Nobody contradicts Trump on camera. Nobody. At least not now that Trump owns the justice department.

I think this was the same pointless meeting where he stopped it in the middle to go and stare out the window:

Vietnam vet and former governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura goes full Godwin on Trump. Ventura has previously endorsed the Green Party and Democratic Party.
