Got to give her credit for calling it like it is.
Trump can add war criminal to his list of crimes … again. I’m pretty sure he committed war crimes already.
Just like tariffs on Canada was not about drugs….it is about control of natural resources and how the orange turd and his cronies can benefit.
The kicker is that we don’t even need the oil. But our idiot president is stuck in the 70s and 80s and has no fucking clue how the modern global energy economy works.
And she’s 100% correct.
This isn’t even funny, he has spent the last decade pissing off all our allies and now he is unilaterally toppling governments. He needs to be impeached and removed asap. Enough is enough. I don’t see how the rest of the world stands for this. We are an international pariah
Oil is the justification, what its about is someone like Machado or her backers paid of Trump to get US military support in a coup.
Watching the press conference right now:
“We’re sending in our biggest oil companies” or words to that effect, straight from Trump’s mouth. To the world.
It’s also about cancelling elections in November.
I appreciate her for getting straight to the point
The president sure seems to be backing her up on this
Thank you AOC – saying what needs to be said!
She ain’t wrong, it’s straight out of project 2025 page 213 and 216.
I’m no fan of maduro but my head is still spinning that trump can say he’s mad about drones attacking putin’s residence then do this all in what, a week?
US should not attempt to run Venezuela.
If Maria Corina Machado can step in and take over i will cautiously reserve judgement.
But, even if it WAS about drugs – which it most certainly is not – I cannot stress enough how you cannot just literally kidnap the President of a foreign sovereign nation because some people in that country carry drugs over to the US.
None of this makes any sense. Maduro is being charged with “Narco-terrorism” which is not even a real crime. They’re literally making up a crime.
His useless sycophants always seem to malfunction when the pardon of Juan Hernandez is brought up.
Really hoping we can find another word for “slams” in these titles
Conservatives who have Bill and Biden Derangement Syndrome will just say AKTUALY THIS IS BIDENS FAULT!
Deranged little cultists they are.
“Claimed”? Everything she stared is backed by evidence and by Trump’s own words. “pointed out” is more accurate.
I told my husband months ago, it’s about the oil and money. Always is
What’s really crazy is it’s pretty obvious they never expect to face any consequences from this. Every person in the Trump admin should be imprisoned and every person who voted for Trump should pay restitution to the US, that is the bare minimum for the US to continue as a country.
He’s trying to be the next Putin
It’s not just a “claim,” it’s all facts she stating!!!
Where are the rest of the dems condemning this as much as AOC?
I didn’t know about the pardon, or who that was, so I looked it up.
Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez pardoned from a 45 year sentence, after serving about 1.5 years.

> Trump pardons cocaine kingpin who ruled Honduras
> Trump said Nov. 28 that he planned to pardon former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez. A White House official and Hernandez’s attorney, Renato Stabile, confirmed Dec. 2 that the pardon has been issued. Stabile said Hernandez was released early Dec. 2 from a federal prison, where he was serving a 45-year sentence “for cocaine importation and related weapons offenses,” according to the Justice Department.
> Hernandez was convicted in March of 2024 after a three-week jury trial in New York City. He was “at the center of one of the largest and most violent drug-trafficking conspiracies in the world,” helping to bring more than 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S., the Justice Department said in a [news release last year after his conviction.](https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/juan-orlando-hernandez-former-president-honduras-sentenced-45-years-prison-conspiring)
