“It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from Epstein + skyrocketing healthcare costs,” she claimed in a social media publication.
Yes Trump literally said in his speech that’s what it’s about, they’re not even trying to hide it anymore.
Shit, pretty sure he’s on tape telling Netentyahu, that starting a war to cancel elections is a great idea that he wants to do.
He wants a regime change eventually, and so does the money behind him.
But what trump wants more, is anything that will cancel midterms and last long enough to cancel the next presidential too.
That’s why he’s doing this, holding onto political power is the golden goose. Not even trump is dumb enough to kill and eat the goose. As we get closer to elections, we’ll see him pass on money if it means holding onto power longer. But if midterms happen and he loses the House, that’s a lot of lost power, which means less money from bribes/grifts.
There’s no provision in US law for suspension of elections. No matter what we hold elections. Now they’ll certainly be ratfucked to hell and back but any suspension of elections will be totally illegal.
Problem is, it wouldn’t be the first thing that it totally and obviously illegal, that still gets done with 0 conequenses for the fascist.
I know, but they’d literally have to cite a foreign country’s laws as the justification like scrotus did pulling from english common law to nix Dobbs.
I don’t think even MAGA lets him get away with that. This is America and we have elections! We fuckin don’t vote in them but we have em, god dammit
They’ll let him get away with it, because they’re all going to lose their seats. The US has been taken over by a dictator. Our only hope is invasion.
He kept saying “we are going to be taking money out”.
Well if you’re a fascist who doesn’t care about blending of the state with capital then it’s a pretty strong argument.
They did sign contracts, let American companies build a bunch of infrastructure, then seized it at gunpoint.
Iran, Iraq, etc done similar things, but Venezuela is pretty unique in that it lost the international legal cases and still refused to pay retribution.
