Granted I know next to nothing about the current ‘tone’ in Venezuela, I do know a bit of their more modern history. Same with many Latin countries that the US has meddled with.
Dude was no saint from what I'm gathering, and the track record of the US is akin to making a deal with the devil.
No doubt this was a flex and a sobering event for NATO. More over with all the Iceland gibberish.

ICE melts

SNOW blows

Anyone from north of the snow belt knows both of these very well

Could the second civil war start in Minnesota

We ran high-level US civil war simulations. Minnesota is exactly how they start | Claire Finkelstein

Developments in Minnesota closely mirror a scenario explored in a 2024 exercise conducted at the Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law at the University of Pennsylvania, which I direct

“We ran high level US civil war simulations” lol I don’t think there is much civil war cry outside of Minneapolis.

Fascism is runnin' amok in the land of the free and home of the brave. ICE is now claiming that they can forcible enter homes without a judicial warrant?

ICE memo allows agents to enter homes without judicial warrant: Whistleblower complaint

The group Whistleblower Aid says it represents two anonymous U.S. government officials. The group argues the ICE memo violates the Fourth Amendment and DHS policies.

Yeah this is the end of the line. Constitution doesn’t allow this.

It does allow the use of a firearm to defend yourself against an intruder.

ICE agents are going to get a lesson in the constitution.

And juries aren’t convicting people charged with stuff that DOJ charges them with. The real war will begin when a Federal agent is gunned down and no jury will convict.

I am actually shocked that it hasn't happened yet. The American people have showed amazing restraint thus far. We shall see how long it lasts?

I think it’s an interesting example of the slippery slope. ICE has been allowed to enter places of worship without a warrant for a year now. Now they can enter your home.

Trump would pardon them 10 minutes after conviction.

That exactly how I feel. The populace in this country for all the bluster is VERY passive. So many people relatively comfortable but also on the edge of homelessness. One misstep and you are basically ruined. But it is just going to take one nut who just doesn’t give a crap about anything or feels like they have nothing to lose to really shift the conversation. A new Luigi, but one that no jury will convict. On that note it will be interesting to see if Luigi gets convicted.
