Bully Pulpit

First stop Venezuela, is Mexico next? Canada, Greenland, Denmark, does it ever stop?

Trump says we will run Venezuela now, to the consternation of many of our allies. Take the oil.

Now I am not sure if this is the good old Monroe doctrine or the divine right of kings but I don't think this bullying attitude and disrespect for other countries' sovereignty is going to end well.

Not that Maduro was a prince but I thought the GOP said it was now time to mind our own business and go non-interventionist?

The indiscriminate murder of the people on the boats, who may or may not have been trafficking drugs that may or maybe not headed to the United States makes a little bit more sick sense now, a prelude to his real intended takeover plan the entire time.

I am sure that our newfound allies in Russia, Hungary and North Korea will heartily applaud the strategy.

We never hear much from Russia hawk Lindsey Graham on the subject of Ukraine any more. Why the crickets, Senator? Somebody get access to the Grindr account?

Of course, there are lots of GOP members too afraid to open their mouths right now.

All of the polls are pretty clear, a gigantic majority of Americans support extending ACA credits.

78% of the total populace and 59% of Republicans. 57 % of the people who identify as MAGA, which makes sense since they will bear the brunt of not having health insurance.

The Republican leadership will have a lot of heavy lifting to do in order to convince Americans that destroying the health care system in this country is a good thing. 

It's not like they have not had fifteen years to come up with a suitable alternative.

But instead we have nothing.

Button your seatbelts. 

We are in for a very bumpy ride the next three years. 

Anything can happen. 

But at least we will have a lot of new gold and marble fixtures in Washington D.C..

Arc de Trump. It was a natural!
