If the boats were smuggling drugs, it would've been better to stop and inspect the cargo than just blow the boats up.

"big facility where they send the, you know, where the ships come from"

he mentions these things in passing and I'm like "WHAT?!?" ... who knows what the heck they have been doing. They funneled so much money into Defense/ICE. I suspect when this regime is finally gone, we are going to learn about a lot more horrendous happenings that have not even come out yet.

Reagan's PANAMA INVASION.............the Media in the U.S. hardly said anything, and yet the Media in countries all around the world was reporting the atrocities committed by the U.S. Military, that we hear in the U.S. heard absolutely nothing about.
There was even an award winning Documentary of the atrocities, that was circulated worldwide and BANNED from distribution in the United States. I got a friend in Europe to convert the video to the U.S. standards for video, and had him ship it to me.......
UN-fucking real what happened down there, that the U.S. Citizens never knew................

The reality was, that Reagan/HWBush had to deflect attention from something else they had done, and created the BS Panama Invasion........and had the U.S. Media only show what OUR government wanted their people to see....

Lies again

We are murdering innocent people in Venezuela because of Epstein and oil.

I hope this enough for the other other Western Democracies to pull their Ambassadors
this was an act of war on a Country that was not a threat to America. What “big facility”
a marina? A fishing or shipping port?

It was only a matter of time before he started "hallucinating" (as we say these days) military attacks.

There was no plant or "facility" "you know, where the ships come from" hit by anything. The press needs to corroborate Trump's goofy claims at this point.

with extreme consequences.

America is a pirate state, a terrorist state, an aggressor state and a clear and present danger to the world.

We need to show we stand against this or we will face more attacks.

Remember 2025 started with a car driven into a crowded street, killing 15 in New Orleans.
Germany shortly after. Keep poking that bee hive!

The world hates chump and he is doing everything so the world hates Americans. Even Americans.

"Hugely big! You wouldn't believe how big! The likes of which no one has ever seen!"

"It was the greatest operation in the history of humanity!"

This time they're all like "No comment." Bull-fucking-shit. Trump made it up on the spot or one of his WH minions told him to mollify him, but asked him not to tell anybody because it's completely fabricated. But of course he did, because he's a senile old fool. Now everybody has to scramble, pretending that something actually happened.

It's so embarrassing that the Times actually published a piece on this. They have no proof that anything even happened. Clown shit.

at the BBC, CBC, The Guardian, al Jezeera, and especially the South American news organizations. Nothing. Addle brain spouting lying delusions, as usual.

admit that I have been buzy so only glanced at several papers over the weekend.

in tiny font on their front pages -

The Guardian - US struck ‘big facility’ in Venezuela, Trump claimed without offering details

ABC News - Trump says US 'knocked out' a 'big facility' in Venezuela

The Guardian - US struck ‘big facility’ in Venezuela, Trump claimed without offering details

(in tiny font and basically "below the fold" )

Most of the news sites the past couple days have been MIA other than focusing on 2025 "Year in Review" articles, with Ukraine as the main headlined "news", and filling things out with sports, entertainment and other fluff pieces. The other "news" on those sites ends up being repeats of news from days ago and even regurgitating old articles from months, and years ago.

...........In the short phone interview on Friday, Trump responded to a comment about Venezuela by touting the administration's attacks on alleged drug boats before referring to a strike on a "big plant or big facility" that he said took place two nights earlier.

...........

Or, Miller is whispering it in his ear.

But, here's the main reason:
"Venezuela is going to provide a lot more oil to the United States of America if Maduro leaves,"

I think media would be all over it if he had actually started his land war.

Kegsbreath threw out all of the credible reporters in the Pentagon, so who really knows what the fuck is going on?

Is a LIE!

If you voted for Trump because you expected restraint on foreign policy and the use of military force abroad, I have some bad news for you

It’s no small thing that Trump told the public last week that he ordered a military strike on a target on Venezuelan soil, and we have no idea whether he made that up. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

There once was a president’s claim
On radio waves, bold and plain:
“We knocked out a site,
Just a couple nights’ bite—
A big plant tied to drugs,” he did name.

For months there’d been pressure at sea,
With boats stopped repeatedly.
They said drugs were aboard,
Though proof wasn’t stored—
Just claims from the White House, you see.

In a call that was short, he went on,
Of ships and a place they’d come from.
“A facility big,
Where the traffickers dig—
We hit it,” he said, “job well done.”

But details were left in the air,
No photos, no briefings to share.
If land had been struck,
That would change all the luck
Of counternarcotics affairs.

Reporters all paused at the sound,
Since proof hadn’t yet been found.
NBC checked twice,
Couldn’t verify the slice—
And comments from aides? None around.

So the story now waits to be told,
With questions still carefully held:
Was a line crossed that night,
Or just talk on the mic?
Time will sort fact from the bold.

That's a "facility." So is a church.
That "nattering nabob of negativism" is nucking futs.
