Pompeo is “puffed up” in more ways than one.

THIS is what “meddling” looks like. THIS is what “interference” looks like.

The USA, installing yet another compliant puppet regime at the barrel of a gun. We don’t mess around with silly Facebook memes - we go for the brass ring.

  1. Though it isn’t happening, ‘45’ said that the US needed to get out of the regime change business.

  2. Mike Pence called for a no fly zone in '16.

  3. Trump was for the Libya operation that overthrew Qaddafi.

  4. This report comes on the heels of Trump reportedly giving the green light to a Libyan strongman’s attempt to overthrow the UN backed government.

  5. those Syrian cruise missile bombings that a) went nowhere, b) one of em was advertised on Twitter and c) he overruled Mattis, when the latter wanted to get Congressional support.

Let’s talk more about Honduras.

By supporting the June 28, 2009, coup d’état in Honduras when she was secretary of state, Clinton helped create the dire conditions that caused many of these children to flee. And the assassination of legendary Honduran human rights leader Berta CĂĄceres earlier this month can be traced indirectly to Clinton’s policies.

Rubio’s already melting down, like a kid who dropped his ice cream cone on the sidewalk.

“Why are they calling my armed coup an armed coup”?

So much for spreading democracy.

The U.S. usually advocates for peaceful transitions of power, to the point they discourage violence or remain neutral when armed hostilities are imminent or ongoing and an existing government is under seige. Especially if that government is (allegedly) democratically elected, as was Maduro, regardless any contentions the process was tainted or invalid. To publicly encourage a military overthrow of an elected leader, in a non-communist nation in the Americas, is questionable at best. Toss in the Soviet angle and I think Trump is poking a hornet nest here to our detriment.

“She came, she saw, Beta died.”

I still think Maduro is a total idiot, and the whole Chavez “bolivarian revolution” a disaster (not that the place was paradise before), and for the most part I hate venezuelans . That said, it was bad when Russia imposed Trump on the US, it is bad for the US to impose Guaidó in Venezuela.

What happens when you accrue too many of those TPM messages that tell you that you should consider combining your posts or the ones that that tell you, you’ve been dominating the conversation? Does a piano fall on you? Does Josh send over a goon squad of irate neck-beards to berate you?

So in other words, Clinton is responsible for Venezuela and Libya, k.

Now that there’s an ongoing coup in Venezuela, I’ll just wait on Bernie’s response.

Have you noticed one common denominator in US foreign policy is we want regime change in countries with oil reserves? Except the Saudis, who are our master.
