president Maduro captured after US strikes

[quintessentone]

For the love of god, it is not that hard to understand that the criticism is about going in, throwing a coup, and then announcing an indefinite stay while pilfering oil reserves. Y'all can't really be this willfully ignorant.

It's also about continuing to con the people so they remain in MAGA fantasyland. It's to help the people there. Ha ha

But, Greenland?

The people of Greenland overwhelmingly want to dump Denmark and also not hook up with America.   They want total independence.  Trouble is .. I don't know if they can stand on their own.   I don't know if they have their own infrastructure and ability to do so.

Imagine the leverage prosecutors now have over Maduro.

You assume he has emotional attachment to his wife and kid.
Not everyone does.
This is a very brutal man.

On topic, I guess we will need to see what comes of his prosecution.

But, Greenland?

That's bonkers

They laughed at Seward, too.
They're not laughing any more...(Mostly, because they've all been dead for over a century...but still).

It may be a insult but that is because the level narcissism you people have.

Assigning such a psychological imbalance to such a large, diverse and general group as those that have questioned his actions is really not reasonable. Nearly everyone of his acquaintances, even his own supporters, have questioned his actions and words. And he always responds with denials, from which there is no history of him ever backing down, even when there is hard evidence that he did, or said, it and that he was wrong.

Trump, however, definitely has been diagnosed with malignant narcissistic psychopathy:

Clinical and Scholarly Assessments of Donald J. Trump

1 he was falsely accused of things he did not do and I don't mean just online they used international help to conjure up fake evidence that the knew was 100% fake and used to illegally obtain warrants to spy on him.

The warrants were not illegally obtained.

After the 911 attacks, in the name of 'homeland security', permission to spy on the US public, rubber stamped by the FISA courts, through Federal agencies such as the NSA and the FBI, has been granted and is reviewed and signed-off by whomever is the US President every four years. This is usually done early in each Presidential term, so Trump has twice approved federal agencies spying on US citizens.

Data is now being collected on you, as well as all other US citizens such as Donald Trump, and he has twice agreed to grant it definition as a legal action, despite the fact that such a process is contrary to the US Constitution.

If he is such a monster that wouldn't have been necessary and anyone okay with that has a serious mental issue. 2 He's not special he just said the shit people wanted to hear that's what politicians do and then they hardly ever deliver yet he did on a few things not all but a few and it was more than any politician had up into that point.

Trump has achieved a few things that get news reportage. But, significantly, he has claimed that he has done things that he has not done, or even partly achieved.

It is untrue that politicians hardly ever deliver. They do break promises, but they do achieve more things than they don't. In that regard, Trump has been about the same in actual delivery, leaving major promises (like his desert wall) barely started (at great cost to the US public and even, if you recall, to the significant disruption of the US Federal government).

At the same time, Trump had promised tariffs, but I don't think that, pre-election, the public had any notion of the stupidly high rates of tariffs that he has implemented. I think his problem is that he has poor mathematical skills and gets by with bluster and everyone thinks he is just exaggerating.

I get it not liking the guy but calling him and all us Hitlers and racists even calling black people uncle Tom's just for being conservative is wildly delusional, so you can take your butt hurt feelings to your shrink because you fuelled the term TDS with your behavior.

Trump is a racist. As are many of his adherents. You might be blind to it, but his policies do not have the same outcomes regardless of ethnicity. He strongly vilifies particular ethnicities again and again in his speeches. He was once prosecuted for denying black families from being able to get accommodation in a property he managed. Very few racists are actually prosecuted for it.

Trump isn't Hitler, but he is fascistic and dictatorial.

Trump cannot negotiate like a statesman, it's either his way or it is conflict, and this amplifies the issues created when he is just wrong, because he cannot concede that there is another way.

Also, I have never called black people "Uncle Toms". It's not a term I would use. Please do not accuse me of things that you think someone else may have done, or of me being a part of some group that all collaborate to disagree with Trump (or you).

I also don't think that someone from the Democratic Party would have called someone an "Uncle Tom", either. To me, it just sounds like the type of language that a racist pundit would try and use about somebody else.

More like we don’t care. Maduro was a brutal dictator to the Venezuelan people.  Most of them are dancing and celebrations are happening around the world. Maduro needed to go. Moral of the story “don’t be a dictator ruthlessly oppressing your people and running tons of drugs into our country or Trump might arrest and remove you, shut down your drug operations and screw it, we’re going to take your oil and your ship’s “legally”.   Do I need to remind you that there were sanctions against Venezuela's oil industry that they were violating?

Trump, however, definitely has been diagnosed with malignant narcissistic psychopathy:

Got a link to the medical report of a doctor/s that actually examined him ....
Or just that internet partisan armchair stuff?

I have no doubt he has a few psychological issues.
But there has never been an actual clinical evaluation done by 
a doctor assigned to him and given him a nonpartisan exam
and evaluation.

He hasn't been 'diagnosed'.

And the 3 western Canadian provinces as well, but only if they want too. I think we could work out all sorts deals with trade and US maned military infrastructures with all 3 countries if the terms where right.

Maduro's nephews were arrested by DEA in Haiti for smuggling 800kg cocaine.

They were tried and convicted in U.S. federal court for conspiring to import cocaine into the U.S.,

each sentenced 18 years in prison.

Biden granted clemency in 2022, releasing them in a prison swap.

Interesting.
This must be one of the cases where Maduro's wife was also implicated.

Shame Biden forgot to give the Maduro family a blanket pardon like he gave his own family.
