Trump and top administration officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, characterized Saturday’s assault on Venezuela and abduction of the country’s president as a warning shot in the direction of Cuba, Mexico, Colombia, and other Latin American nations.

During a Saturday press conference, Trump openly invoked the Monroe Doctrine — an assertion of U.S. dominance of the Western Hemisphere — and said his campaign of aggression against Venezuela represented the “Donroe Doctrine” in action.

In his unwieldy remarks, Trump called out Colombian President Gustavo Petro by name, accusing him without evidence of “making cocaine and sending it to the United States.”

    As someone who checked the box with her name. The voting for the less of two Israeli and oligarch owned evils is getting pretty old. The denouncing Israel thing was a huge and obvious elephant in the room. That being said we are literally surrounded by brainwashed Nazi’s who worship a pedofile con man so yea this DNC approved corrupt opposition candidate thing has failed and I’m getting really sick of it. She was bragging about Dick Cheney endorsing her for god sake’s. We don’t have healthcare, we don’t have worker protections and ending up on the streets is a literal death sentence in America. Things are rough and people are pissed add the fact that education is a debt trap,and out of reach for most and you get a perfect storm of ignorance. Add the fact that our media runs 24/7 brainwashing propaganda and is now consolidating all of our media into a Nazi propaganda machine you have a dangerous situation for the world. The person that wins the American presidential election is always the person that the wealthiest want in power that’s why we have the crooked electoral college system in the first place.

      It’s a binary choice. Vote for not-Trump or get Trump. This was an intelligence test that America failed.
