President Donald Trump just made it clear that he already has his eyes set on a new target following the US’s capture of the president of Venezuela. During a press conference on Saturday, he urged Colombian President Gustavo Petro to ‘watch his ass.’ The threat marks a dramatic escalation in tensions across Latin America, with Trump openly invoking the Monroe Doctrine to assert US dominance in the Western Hemisphere.

      None of which alters the fact that he’s patently insane.

      Though it does certainly call their mental health into question too.

      Did Watdabney stutter??? All I’m hearing is that “all of maga and half the dems” need to be taken out like the trash that they are.

        You first.

        Seriously, all this stupid talk of guillotines and everything else. You do realize a full third voted for this, a full third DID NOT CARE to vote at all. And honestly, until economic issues affect them those same 2/3 won’t care to do jack shit. And let me tell you, the 1/3 that hates this aren’t despaired enough to foment a revolution.

        God these pithy sentiments are useless. Familiarize yourself with reality and understand that we are so, so far away from any real change.

          A full third didn’t care to vote because a majority of Democrats said genocide is okay. Maybe instead of criticizing them, criticize the politicians that got us here.

            Why are you going on about legalism, as if the US has a functioning legislative and judicial system? It is obviously broken to the core and the constitution or voting doesn’t matter in the slightest.

            Who are the people who are going to invoke that 25th amendment on Trump?

          1/1 is also a fraction, but in English dialect the term ‘a fraction’ is synonymous with ‘a small part of’ rather than denoting any possible fraction.
