US president says ‘we’re going to run the country until a safe, proper and judicious transition’ can take place and that he is ‘prepared’ for a second attack

    However egregious this is, it should not distract us from the Epstein files.

    Because remember: ultimately this is probably nothing more than Trump’s latest attempt to make everybody forget he’s a sex fiend and a probable pedo.

      I dont think so. The US private sector has wanted to regain control of Venezuelan oil since Chavez gained power. This is literally just that coming to fruition.

      Evil scum fuck country the US is. I wonder what it will take before Americans actually do something.

        Don’t worry, I’ve heard that after this coup, the usonians are so angry that are going to protest… with very harsh words written in cardboards! That will surely teach the chlid rapist to not do what he just did

          9 downvotes and counting for you from burgerlanders who think they’re doing tons by peacefully protesting once a month while the rest of us get fucked by their government and military.

          They might even organize a naked bike ride. That’s how pissed off they are!

          Of course, they can’t do any better, seeing as though none of them are armed to resist the regime…

            They don’t even need to be armed. A strike. A nation-wide strike. They only need to stop working for a couple of days and Trump’s head will be served by the same oligarchs that today are praising him.

            But I guess that’s just too much… they might even lose their jobs, you know?

            They (and the rest of the world thanks to them) are gonna have a few more nice years of this child rapist unless someone tries again and aims 5 cm to the right.

      The epstein files is the B-side to the rising tide of fascism and imperialism. Both are important stories and both need probably equal attention. The recent Minnesota fraud stuff is the bigger Epstein distraction

      And it’s just yet another turn of the gears that makes me want to see that shitpile country implode like it was supposed to do ~30 years ago.
