Trump's Venezuela Attack Is a Uniquely Dangerous Threat to the Constitutional Order

Ok - that really is something i miss about tucson - where the morning memo comes out 2-3 hours earlier in the day. Living on east coast time it sometimes seems that the morning part of the morning memo is mostly aspirational.

What a terrible step down for Cynthia Nixon, from running for Governor, to now running for a mere Congressional seat. (Has never held any elective office.)

When acquitted send him back to Caracas and give him a very nice card with hand done calligraphy that says “pardon our fuck up”

That’s just an AI overview, and I already found one other mistake with it.

I haven’t seen anywhere else that Cynthia Nixon is considering running for congress. Anyways, she still has a good gig with HBO’s The Gilded Age. I love her in that!

As pessimistic as I was about Trump II from the start, the reality has been far worse than I imagined. I believe that one aspect of this foreign adventurism is to test the compliance of the military. If an actual, sustained shooting war happens in Venezuela, they will invoke the Insurrection Act. If that country doesn’t take the bait then we’ll go after Cuba, or Colombia, or Greenland. Eventually there will be actual resistance amounting to what Fox, the NYT and the Post can call a war. Then they’ll invoke the Insurrection Act. If all else fails, they’ll follow the @sniffit scenario and incite or manufacture an “incident” in Minneapolis. Or Phoenix. Or New York. But they’ve gone way too far to turn back, they’re taking off the mask (rhetorically, although not physically in ICE operations), and they can’t let us hold free elections in 2026. I’m in that dark place now where I do believe the Insurrection Act is coming.

It looks like he might have made off with someone else’s as well.

The military will follow orders. They did in the illegal attack of Venezuela and the kidnapping of Maduro and his Wife. Nothing in my experience leads me to believe that military leadership will balk at further illegal orders.

ETA up to and including shooting groups of protesting civilians

Trump spreads his unique brand of TrumpChaos™ around. He’s generous that way.

That’s a nice big pot of doom but you need to add in the fact that TSF is a big fucking coward, and he’s not interested in sustained military anything. He just wants people to call him sir.
