What actions has Trump's administration taken regarding Venezuela?
I'm old enough to remember when Donald Trump beat the drum, America first. We're going to make America great again. We're going to do this for America. And there has been nothing done by his administration except to hurt Americans, take away their health care, terrorize them in the street. Now his administration is executing people in the streets. And we've gone into Venezuela. committing war crimes by killing their fishing boats. And we've gone in and we've kidnapped the murderous dictator that ruled there, not because we give a fuck about America, but because we want the oil. And Donald Trump even said, we talked to the oil companies. They didn't talk to Congress. So Marco Rubio, when asked, about what's it gonna cost America?
What's it gonna cost taxpayers to do this regime change in Venezuela? And here I thought was the answer from he and Pete Hegseth that we all had to see.
It doesn't cost us.
It doesn't cost us.
It doesn't cost us any money.
For example, this oil deal that's happening doesn't cost us any money. On the contrary. Doesn't cost us any money.
How does the current administration justify military actions in Venezuela?
Look, I can't. I don't have the numbers.
OK, so it doesn't cost us any money. We're getting the oil. So he says the quiet part out loud. Fucking little Marco. And then here's Pete Hegseth, who just goes unhinged. I mean, he's just unhinged.
Besides that question from CNN, the questions ever asked, how much does it cost when they're in the Mediterranean or the Red Sea or the Indian Ocean or the Pacific? But now that they're in our hemisphere, on a counter-cartel mission or ensuring that an indicted individual comes to justice, now you're asking the question of cost. It's a disingenuous question to begin with. You're trying to find any angle possible to undermine the success of one of the most historic military missions the world has ever seen.
Oh, God. Okay.
Every time he says, the world has ever seen, just, like, shut the fuck up. Here's the thing, this Western Hemisphere, I think you pointed out, that's a Project 2025 term, correct?
Yes, it is in the Project 2025. They talk about hemisphere building. Also, there is reporting, very interesting reporting, that in 2019, National Security Advisor Fiona Hill reported under oath that Putin had offered
What are the implications of Trump's oil deals for the American public?
Trump during Trump 1.0, he offered the United States, Venezuela for Ukraine. So there to me, of course, you have a lot of factions that this will satisfy. The oil oligarchs are like, oh, yes, we're going to get it. But what's interesting, I read some report and I don't know if this has been verified or not. But that the funds that they're going to get from the oil that they've just taken are going to go to offshore accounts and not into the United States Treasury. And I don't know if that's been verified yet, but it was a journalist that tweeted that and she was asking for more details about that. But this is a government right now set up. by oligarchs for oligarchs of oligarchs. This is not an America first government.
This is now he's talking about raising the defense spending by over a half trillion. This administration, this fascist regime is accelerating. They are accelerating the fascism at a very alarming rate. The Epstein files are still sitting there. but they are wagging the dog and breaking as much as they possibly can. And 250 years of democracy is going down the toilet. And have we been perfect? No. Are there scars all over our foreign policy? Yes. But something that we all used to believe in was the idea of improvement.
How do Rubio and Hegseth respond to criticism about military costs?
Martin Luther King spoke so eloquently about the arc of justice bending towards the moral universe. And we incrementally marched together to do that. What we're up against right now with those two dipshits, those two war criminals, those two traitors, and democratic leadership needs to use those words when talking about Pete Hegseth and talking about Marco Rubio, because they are war criminals and they are traitors to the United States of America. And their actions, warrant at least your words in that that voice and don't fall into the crap and don't buy into the narrative of stephen miller that we can't exercise our first amendment and call a spade a spade but this administration and those two war criminal dipshits they are accelerating and they are breaking america on purpose
