When have we ever done a regime change and it not create a power vacuum?

We will install a controlled leader
Take more migrants (they are already talking about this)
Make it even worse
Sell it to the dumbass public as something it isn’t.
Panama did not result in a power vacuum.

Do not want to include Japan, West Germany, or South Korea because we had to do full scale war to get US centric democracies.

We helped countries decolonize, but those were also unsuccessful.

I can think of the US providing aid to countries that were in disrepair and have become much better places. Soviet Bloc countries and Mexico in particular have been aided in regime changes and done better because of the US.

My God at the incompetence and corruption in the Luigi case. This type of stuff gives the defense a chance.



Couldn’t arrest a guy cause he looks like someone so they said he was loitering and then asked his name and he gave a fake name and they asked for ID and arrested the guy over it which is not a crime.

Couldn’t search his backpack so they claimed they feared a bomb but didn't evacuate McDonald's or call bomb squad.

Transferred evidence in McDonald’s bag.

Dumb cops can kill a slam dunk case.

I do get banned for mine. And as for the rest of it:

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational." - Charlie Kirk
Yes, stand your ground will cost some lives every year.

No. Kennedy didn't. The cia did. Iirc Kennedy called off the support the cia wanted him to send, but were going forward with regardless.

I don't know if there was any kind of court judgment against Castro for seizing the land and property of Americans that his regime clearly did. I do know there were plantations and property owned by prominent families and corporations like the Bush family and PepsiCo.
To my knowledge, there are still outstanding claims by American companies against the Cuban government.

I worked with an older woman whose husband had been a lawyer for a sugar company in Cuba before Castro. They were at the New Year's Eve Ball in Havana that Batista was throwing before Castro took over the next day. Batista left in the middle of the ball. They were very well off but left/got out in a few months with the shirts on their backs. It's why she was working into her 70's in the mid-70's. Her older daughter was a Castro true believer and never did fit into the US & went to live in Mexico. Made her mother sick. Younger daughter was fine.

He'll walk. No bail. No worry of flight risk.

Unless he dies in a NY cell, they'll give him the other Epstein treatment.
"In December 1989, President George H.W. Bush ordered U.S. troops into Panama to capture Manuel Noriega, the country’s de facto military dictator, on federal drug-trafficking charges. Like Mr. Maduro, Noriega had been indicted by a U.S. grand jury. Like the Venezuela operation, the Panama invasion occurred without congressional authorization. And like what will now happen with Mr. Maduro, Noriega was forcibly brought to the U.S. and prosecuted in federal court. Noriega was convicted and imprisoned.

The legal framework established in Noriega’s case will directly govern Mr. Maduro’s prosecution. Too bad for him that the arguments we can expect his lawyers to make have already been litigated, and rejected, by federal courts.
The factual parallels between these two cases are striking.
"


I think if the judge doesn't convict, that will be successfully appealed toa sane court.

Bro, this is delusional. There’s a huge portion of this base just like me who aren’t happy with this admin at all. How TF is this what we voted for? There’s no mass deportations occurring, no deep state arrests, no conservative bills worth a crap being passed. He’s fought Epstein transparency and got involved in global conflict. He’s pro H-1B Visas cause of his donors.

He’s done more for a foreign nation than he has for this country.



“1) “No more sending US troops overseas” -Bombs Iran, sends troops to Gaza, bombs Venezuela.
2) “America First” -Bails out Argentina, brings in Venezuelan refugees, pays for Israel to get fighter jets.
3) “Only deporting criminals” -Deports neighbors and legal workers, and arrests people for looking Hispanic
4) “War on drugs” -Pardons Honduran President who flooded US with cocaine.
5) “Will beat China on tech” -Sells China high end restricted chips
6) “Will cut our budget” -Big Beautiful Bill raised spending more than ever.
7) “Doge will cut waste” -Cut 0.02%, prosecuted no fraud, has to rehire more than 1/3rd of layoffs as they were essential
8) “We’ll lower grocery and gas prices day one” -They’ve gone up.
9) “Will instate a Bitcoin reserve day one!” -None. 10) “Will end the war in Ukraine day one” -Hasn’t. 11) “Will lower your taxes” -Under $400k your taxes are flat or went up.
12) “Will replace ObamaCare with something that works!” -ObamaCare subsidies are gone, no new proposal for replacement.
13) “Won’t support communism” -Takes government stake in private businesses.
14) “No corruption” -Son in law is on the board of two company acquisitions directly over seen by Trump. -Trump pardons crypto exchange owner that he doesn’t seem to know after he buys Trump memecoin.
15) “Will release the Epstein files” -Called it a hoax -DoJ partially released and is obstructing
16) “Will investigate COVID committee” -Hasn’t. 17) “Will investigate Jan 6th committee” -Hasn’t. 18) “Will cut drug costs by 600%!” -Hasn’t cut them at all, never mind the impossible amount.
19) “Will audit the gold in Fort Knox” -Hasn’t.
20) “Will weed out corrupt officials” -Took donations from oil companies before going into Venezuela. -Let private companies sponsor the ballroom for access to him.
-Expanded Planatir access to government agencies giving them more of our data.

Just to be clear on one issue (and maybe you will refuse to answer this like Elaine refused and ran for cover, but that does not seem to be your style), out of the millions of illegals let into the country over the past years, but especially over the Leftie Administration that used Biden as a puppet, only a small percentage are hardened criminals. Are you suggesting that illegals without criminal records should not be deported?

And, where do you buy your gas?????

Your list looks right out of the leftie spin playbook. Be critical, but not ridiculous.

Democrats are just Republican-lite. We have a rightwing and center right party in this country. No left. And the right is always wrong. About everything. Need some actual opposition.

The American people did not want us to effectuate regime change in Venezuela. The right did it anyway. Now to see if the American people have any balls.

100% of this is false. Blatantly false. You and your ilk FA and FO and don't like how it feels. Enjoy.
