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.

    Politicians don’t deserve votes, they earn them.

    So naive. The rich understand that it’s not about supporting a candidate personally - it’s about affecting change in your favor. It’s how they keep power.

      Glad you finally admit to admiring the oligarchy. Sad you can’t connect that as a big reason you lost to Trump.
