Donald Trump acknowledged that he informed oil companies about his plans to attack Venezuela and abduct its leader, despite not bothering to notify Congress.
Speaking aboard Air Force One on Sunday, the billionaire president told reporters that he talked to oil companies “before and after” the attack, describing them as crucial to “fix the infrastructure” in the South American country after the capture of Nicolás Maduro.

So Trump put our military at risk. The Media was told to not say anything to protect the military, BUT oligarchs were told and they could spread the information amongst themselves.
The story is always way worse than the lies.

If Congress would only do their job. Maybe those people he told didn’t have security clearance. Oh that doesn’t matter. Maybe those folks made financial decisions on that classified military information and enriched themselves. Maybe they paid money to trump for the info and the action. So many questions. All because we have a president that does not understand the job nor the world.

Pay to play. Oil companies gave him millions for his campaign… he pays them back. Our presidency is for sale to the highest bidder. Trump is a corrupt criminal. He also is a pedophile who raped little girls. And a felon. And a fraud. And a malignant narcissist who lies as easily as he breathes. But MAGA sure got to own them some libs… didn’t they?
As much as there needs to be attention on Epstein, looking into what happened during all of these meeting with billionaires during the 2024 campaign that lead to them contributing huge amounts to his campaign may be just as important.

Congress is back in session tomorrow. The first piece of legislation (after the formal start and rules establishment) had better be articles of impeachment

That isn’t a surprise. He was making promises to them during his 2024 campaign in return for their support. Look how that’s paying off.

MF actually just admitted he tipped off oil companies about the Venezuela attack, even though he didn’t tell Congress

And all the oil companies tried to tell him there’s no money to be made there but they ran out of crayons and patience.

So rural Colorado, an area that voted for Trump, can’t get a clean water pipeline completed, but the US can spend billions in yet another South American country.

Trump tipping off oil companies gave insiders time to buy call options and bet on Maduro removal prediction markets. More enabling of fraud.

So, he fucking leaked it himself while arguing that Senators were a leak risk.

Disgusting. Articles of impeachment immediately.
Too bad all the members of Congress are spineless and are also backed by the same fossil fuel companies.
The mask is off. If they don’t condemn this explicit usurpation of War Powers clause, then they all are just admitting to us how worthless they actually are in the face of this tyrant.
Even without the campaign contributions from oil companies, the Epstein files, or the Trump corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, Venezuela has been marked for a long time. The US is 38T in debt, and the dollar is slipping in value, foreign reserves, and currency of choice in international trade and oil purchases. Either the beast is fed or the US economy craters.
I suspect this will prompt countries in the western hemisphere to hold more USD in reserves and to use USD for international trade simply out of fear of US military action.
I hope that it encourages greater focus on renewable energy to at least neuter the petrodollar.
Any hope I had that senior military leaders wouldn’t abandon the constitution is dashed.
Democrats may take control of Congress in the mid terms, but I honestly don’t think it matters. Every check/ balance that can do anything besides write angry letters has capitulated.
I don’t think we’ll see a general strike of scale enough to oust this regime, and so instead we’ll just see soft secession by the states where both red/ blue states assert greater states rights to ignore the federal government.

He didn’t tell Congress, but definitely told oil companies first. If that isn’t the definition of who actually serves, I don’t know what is 😂

Anyone from my comment section the other day want to explain to me again how capitalism doesn’t have anything to do with this?

Same people he works for, corporations

Holy crap, that has to be wrong in so many ways.
Remember when [he offered oil execs policy for $1 billion during his campaign?](https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/09/trump-asks-oil-executives-campaign-finance-00157131)
