Who's going to control the world's largest oil reserve?

...do we really want to support MAGA Man's grab of Venezuela’s oil, gas and gold?

CGTN, 1-24-2019

" Political tensions continue in Venezuela "
…………….

" In a united and seemingly coordinated front, the U.S., Canada and some Latin American and European countries announced that they supported Guaido’s claim that the constitution makes him interim president.

But Russia, China, Iran, Syria, Cuba and Turkey have voiced their backing for Maduro’s government.

President Donald Trump promised to use the “full weight” of U.S. economic and diplomatic power to push for the restoration of Venezuela’s democracy. “The people of Venezuela have courageously spoken out against Maduro and his regime and demanded freedom and the rule of law,” he said in a statement. "
……………

" China’s Foreign Ministry called on the United States to stay out of the crisis, while Russia’s deputy foreign minister warned the U.S. against any military intervention in Venezuela. "
…………..

" The socialist leader, who so far has been backed by the military, as well as the government-packed courts and a constituent assembly, recalled the long history of heavy-handed U.S. interventions in Latin America during the Cold War as he asked his allies for support.

“Don’t trust the gringos,” he thundered to a crowd of red-shirted supporters gathered at the presidential palace. “They don’t have friends or loyalties. They only have interests, the nerve and the ambition to take Venezuela’s oil, gas and gold.” "

'not accurate' is not 'totally inaccurate'...

Fox News, 1-19-2019

" “BuzzFeed’s description of specific statements to the Special Counsel’s Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen’s Congressional testimony are not accurate,” Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mueller’s office, said. "

...I take 'not accurate' to mean there could be parts of the BuzzFeed article that could be accurate...if so, what parts could be accurate?

...I hope the Mueller Report doesn't turn out to be another Warren Report...the American people need to know the unvarnished truth about trump and his evil cabal...we need to know how perverted this system has become in order to take corrective measures...

...we need to be able to defeat the traitorous Republicans and in the process save our democracy...

...May God Bless America...

Cancel the State of the Union...

...we know what the state of the union is; it's horseshit since trump and his gang slithered into our White House...

...no need to give that lying sack of venomous shit a prestigious platform to debase...this isn't about government shutdowns anymore, this is about stopping a tin-horn wannabe dictator posing as our President...

...since when does one branch of government dictate to the other two?...give in now and trump will pull this shit every time he doesn't get his way...

...get our PR machine fired-up, and hang tough...this may take a dangerous turn if people begin to walk off important jobs...but this needs to be settled once and for all...

...Dems, think of going through this shit with trump while he's fondling the nuclear button threatening the world if he doesn't get his way...this asshole is totally unstable and yet nobody seems to be able to restrain him or keep him from his worse impulses...extremely DANGEROUS

...face it, our Constitution and our form of government has failed us deeply...

...but, but...

New York Times, 1-12-2019

" WASHINGTON — President Trump on Saturday unleashed an extended assault on the F.B.I. and the special counsel’s investigation, knitting together a comprehensive alternative story in which he had been framed by disgraced “losers” at the bureau’s highest levels.

In a two-hour span starting at 7 a.m., the president made a series of false claims on Twitter about his adversaries and the events surrounding the inquiry. He was responding to a report in The New York Times that, after he fired James B. Comey as F.B.I. director in 2017, the bureau began investigating whether the president had acted on behalf of Russia. "

...weill, how about that...our lying MAGA Russian Prez is miffed...he thought the FBI was working to protect him, not the American people...so sad

...impeachment?

If Trump is a Russian asset...

SFGate,, 1-11-2019

" The FBI began investigating whether President Donald Trump was a witting or unwitting Russian agent after he fired FBI director James Comey in May 2017, The New York Times reported.

•At the time, the bureau was already investigating whether the Trump campaign colluded with Moscow during the 2016 election, and Comey's firing prompted the special counsel Robert Mueller to open an obstruction-of-justice probe as part of the Russia investigation.

•But The Times' report is the first indication that the FBI believed it was possible the president himself was a witting or unwitting Russian agent. "

...who else in the traitorous Republican Party is also working for the Russians?...if our real President, Hillary Clinton, was replaced by a Russian imposter, that would set off a political and Constitutional crisis the likes of which we've never seen...Trump being a Russian asset would answer a lot of unanswered questions...the American people need to know the truth; we must know the truth...

...our President being a Russian asset would make the 'Red Scare' of the 1950's look like child's play...

...May God Bless America and all the true American Patriots...

Dems: don't cave...

...let 2020 begin; billionaires dig deep...

Vox, 1-10-2019

" There’s one critical question in any political negotiation: What do the two sides want? Democrats’ view is fairly clear: They want to reopen the government and then let negotiations over any additional requests for wall-building to proceed on a separate track. Trump, by contrast, insists the government must stay closed until he gets his way.

But what is it he wants, exactly? Trump can’t quite say. He seems to acknowledge that he is not going to build the 2,000-mile wall he campaigned on by asserting that if the particular patch of border he is standing in front of was walled, then Border Patrol personnel could redeploy elsewhere. But how much wall are we talking about? And where? And at what cost? Trump doesn’t know. "

……………………….

...we know what we want,

"Democrats’ view is fairly clear: They want to reopen the government and then let negotiations over any additional requests for wall-building to proceed on a separate track."

...and what does trump want?

"Trump can’t quite say."

...if we cave now over this relatively minor disagreement there'll be no end to us caving to trump when the big stuff hits the fan...let trump declare his national emergency and steal needed money from the Pentagon, then slam his every move in the courts...tie every puke defending MAGA Man to every unpatriotic action he takes...how?

...we need nationwide campaign-style ads to hit the airwaves and social media NOW, blasting MAGA Man and his defenders for destroying the fabric of our country and needlessly disrupting the lives of millions of patriotic Americans...

...let all the billionaire wanna-be's in our Party pay for this ongoing nationwide anti-trump campaign...trump and his bogus wall is nothing more than 2020 campaign fodder for his base...2020 is here!

...that's my opinion, what do you say?...

January 11, 2019

DO IT!

CNN, 1-10-2019

" President Donald Trump says that he is willing to declare a national emergency over border security if he does not get funding for a wall in the deal to end the partial government shutdown. "

...if MAGA Man is going to declare a national emergency to fund his stupid MAGA Wall anyway, why torture federal workers and their families; MAGA Man should end his damn shutdown and open the government NOW...

...by the way,

no pay?

...no work...

...I don't work for free...you don't free...government workers shouldn't be forced to work for free...

...it's time the American people take charge and demonstrate the severity of trump's intransigence and belligerence over nothing...

...loyal workers, just stay home!

...I wouldn't participate in voluntary slavery over something as stupid as trump's campaign wall...

...would you?...

The 'Motherfucker' refused to negotiate...

...shameful...

trump-tweet today,

" Just left a meeting with Chuck and Nancy, a total waste of time. I asked what is going to happen in 30 days if I quickly open things up, are you going to approve Border Security which includes a Wall or Steel Barrier? Nancy said, NO. I said bye-bye, nothing else works! "
……………….

New York Times, 1-9-19

" WASHINGTON — President Trump slammed his hand on a table and stormed out of a White House meeting with congressional leaders on Wednesday after Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California said she would not fund a wall along the southern border, dramatically escalating the confrontation over the government shutdown. "

He walked out of negotiations. He's holding our government workers hostage. He's destroyed the fabric and essence of our democracy. What do you think? Is it time for impeachment yet?
