Save this world from Trump, this narcissistic wreck dragging a nation into chaos. His ego is a black hole swallowing truth, decency, and basic sanity. People deserve a future not built on delusion, rage, and cult‑level loyalty. Stand up, speak out, and refuse to let one man’s megalomania poison an entire country. The world cannot afford his madness any longer.

We, the taxpayers pay for most of his grift. Why should this be any different?

In October 1964 the CPSU Central Committee deposed Khrushchev citing erratic leadership, "hare brained schemes", and the disaster that was the Cuban Missile Crisis. So with Trump we have (checks notes) erratic leadership, hare brained schemes like this, and the Iran war. C'mon 25th Amendment.

Yeah, Central and South America really loved colonialism back in the day.

Lest we forget,

in Donnie 2 Dolls first term he told the oil companies not to invest in Venezuelan oil as a form of economic pressure against Maduro for not being up his ass or a narcopuppet on the payroll.

This is literally all of this shit a problem of his own making.

He just can't do anything without grifting? How long until he puts Uday or Qusay in charge of it?

I had thought that the Venezuelan oil was of such a low quality that it could not be refined, even using the incredibly antiquated US refining methods? That's why the oil industries are not running to help.

Its not that their oil is of low quality but is a different kind of quality from the oil we have. The Venezuelan oil is perfect for making jet fuel and other things that our oil cannot be made into. And being a different quality means a more complex refining process but once refined their oil is very useful in heavy industries.

He's too stupid to understand.

There is no shortage of stories to cover of Trump’s daily reign of terror. But how did nobody cover Milo the Mouth having his face eaten by leopards? Maybe he’s just too 2017.

Yeah, Milo in ICE custody facing deportation is *chef's kiss*. Same with the Tate brothers arrest.

There is no “deal”. Just a framework of an agreement most likely. You can’t believe a thing he says.

Lord Dampnut is such a fucking idiot. I guarantee he got his entire understanding of the oil industry from the opening of "The Beverly Hillbillies". Oil=instant super riches!

Well the first thing you know ol’ Trump’s a billionaire. NY libs said “Don move away from here! DC swamp is the place you wanna be!” So they packed up his jet and he flew to DC, Washington, that is, Republicans, bribery.

So we spend two and a half years rebuilding the oil infrastructure in Venezuela, we then elect someone with a brain in 2028, they return the rights out of common decency and international law, and we've spent N billion dollars helping another country?

I mean, it's not my preferred way of doing international development, and the goal (more oil) isn't really one I support, but it has a kind of elegance, I guess. If you ignore all the "international law" stuff.

Ok, wait a minute: isn’t this oil the “trash oil” all the big oil companies previously told orange moron “hard pass; too expensive; too hard.” Same trash oil? That oil?

Biff52 Lost Canadian's avatar

Yeah. Funny thing, Cuba has the ability to refine it. We blockaded them so they don't have any oil to refine at all.

As noted, imperialism, neo or not, is so HARD. Whine.

I am so sick of this guy. He is constitutionally incapable of just putting his head down and trying to do a decent job. Instead, everything he does has to be the greatest, bigliest thing ever in the history of the world.

This is one seriously high-maintenance president. It's exhausting.

VwllssWndr's avatar

He's there to enrich himself. The oil will be useless to us, but he'll get a cut of the sales.

Pauly2coffees's avatar

We knew all of that from his first term.

If you really want to go down the rabbit hole , look into the sale of Citgo (used to be called Cities Service) to a vulture capitalist. Citgo, a Houston-based company has refineries in the US Gulf Coast. And, by the way is owned by Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA), the Venezuelan national oil company. The purchaser is a major contributor to the GOP. And, also too, was a big supporter of Marco Rubio in 2016.

Everything is probably interconnected. I mean, I used to think Sarah Kendzior was out there , but now, she’s probably on the mark

noname's avatar

Connecting those kinds of dots might arguably be the more important news.

How very dare Nepal drown and take attention away from donnie?

Such a deliberate provoking. Such arrogance! And so much water wasted! Good clean water which could be better used in California wildfires or hydrating visitors to the National Mall or filling a reflecting pool. The need is clearly there....Nepal must be annexed to the USA also as well.

And if they don't comply a small nuke detonated on a glacier should do the trick.

We'd have to get in line behind China, I think.

LESIONS IN LEADERSHIPS!

1) create shortages

2) kill horses

3) find replacement (oil) that will require decades to develop
