US strikes Venezuela / Captures Maduro

Mafia racketeers.

That headline or lead-in is utter bullshit. I watched the testimony. It is completely misleading and contextually wrong. If you listened to Rubio and didn’t feel positive about what is happening in Venezuela then you were determined not to regardless of what was said. Only thing we haven’t fucked up in a while.

Price of crude oil is up 17% from its January low, just before we took over Venezuela’s oil.

Teddy Roosevelt would have a plan for what comes after.

Speaking of Teddy, I've been watching the Ken Burns doc on the Roosevelts, I'm at the part where Teddy took his trip down the Amazonian River of Doubt. Didn't @superrific (or some past moniker thereof) have some connection with a similarly incredible South American boat journey? Something about Herzog and Aguirre, the Wrath of God?

The whole thing about the Roosevelts is fascinating. Some odd similarities b/w Teddy and Trump, but of course disastrously bespattered in this current iteration...

I don't know, but I'd be fascinated to hear about that. I can never get enough of Herzog v. Kinski. Such a fascinating dynamic.
