    This is just another distraction thrown out by the President to distract from his tariff mess, continued price increases and troubling economic indicators. Add this to the ballroom nonsense, Venezuelan targeting and all the other distractions.

    His approval rating right now

    French engineer Louis Réard named his two-piece swimsuit the "bikini" in July 1946, hoping its impact would be as explosive as the atomic bomb detonated there just weeks earlier.

    Wealth concentration at the top…. Continued increase in staple goods… lack of affordable healthcare… lack of positive government intervention like infrastructure and forward thinking innovation…. Removing political corruption.

    Those should be the priorities… not helping Israel in the Middle East… improving relations with SA… transexuals… SNAP recipients… increasing military spending… outrage over a ball room… Christianity or Islam… slamming “libtards” or “con-servatives” or deporting long term immigrants while also embarrassing yourself with tariffs.

    The USA has become such a distracted and poorly run nation. There were no limits on social media and the country appears devoid of empathy or true patriotism.

    Random uncalled-for military action against 2 countries on 2 continents is a proper "LOOK, SQUIRREL!" desperation move

    Why do I feel like the next “foreign country” Trump will want to start a war with will be Puerto Rico.

    Right - it’s easy to call for limited military actions against third world countries. It’s easy to build a ballroom room on the White House… so he promotes these actions… He has sucked at the harder stuff - he has absolutely failed at all of his economic goals… he has failed at brokering peace in Ukraine… he has failed at getting high paying jobs returned to the USA. He has failed at everything except getting his tax bill passed to help the ultra wealthy and ICE… and even with ICE he admits he hasn’t deported as efficiently as Obama.

    So what does he have? Culture politics to seize on and inconsequential crap like building a ballroom.

    This is while having control over every branch of government… what is he going to do if he loses the House or Senate? Truthfully it likely won’t matter because he will still do things like try to open Alcatraz back up as a prison or send immigrants to Florida in make shift prisons. Easy stuff where he doesn’t have to negotiate with China or Russia - hell he can’t even successfully negotiate with Ukraine.

    60 Minutes asked him point blank if he thought the ICE invasion of US cities had gone too far, he responded "I don't think we've gone far enough."

    This is while having control over every branch of government…

    Just imagine what he'd do if this wasn't a Republic with independent States

    of all the stuff that’s been done so far, this might actually be the craziest if they did it

    this is insane

    if we had a serious country, he would’ve been impeached and imprisoned months ago…matter of fact, he never would’ve been able to run for President to begin with and would be rotting in jail

    Who is asking for war with Nigeria?

    What are the chances y’all think he actually does this?

    All the more disturbing when you consider Trump lives in Miami for most of the year and has for quite some time...

    In related state sponsored terrorism...

    US strikes another alleged drug boat bringing death toll from campaign in Latin America to 70
    Hegseth released footage on X of the latest strike, which he said took place in international waters like the previous strikes and targeted “a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization.”

    No US forces were harmed in the operation, he said.

    “To all narco-terrorists who threaten our homeland: if you want to stay alive, stop trafficking drugs. If you keep trafficking deadly drugs – we will kill you,” he wrote.

    Like some previous videos released by the US government, a section of the boat is obfuscated for unspecified reasons.

    President Donald Trump’s administration has built up significant forces in Latin America, in what it says is its campaign to stamp out drug trafficking.

    So far it has deployed six Navy ships in the Caribbean, sent F-35 stealth warplanes to Puerto Rico, and ordered the USS Gerald R Ford carrier strike group to the region.

    On Thursday, the US Senate blocked a Democratic war powers resolution that would have forced Donald Trump to seek congressional approval to launch strikes in Venezuela, allowing the president to remain unchecked in his ability to expand his military campaign against the country.

    The administration has developed a range of options for military action in Venezuela, according to two people familiar with the matter, and Trump’s aides have asked the justice department for additional guidance that could provide a legal basis to strike targets other than boats.

    The governments and families of those killed in the US strikes on alleged drug boats have said many of the dead were civilians – primarily fishers.

    Venezuela’s president Nicolas Maduro has repeatedly accused Trump of seeking to oust him.

    US bombers have also conducted shows of force near Venezuela, flying over the Caribbean Sea off the country’s coast on at least four occasions since mid-October.

    Maduro – who has been indicted on drug charges in the United States – insists there is no drug cultivation in his country, which he says is used as a trafficking route for Colombian cocaine against its will.

    The Trump administration has said in a notice to Congress that the United States is engaged in “armed conflict” with Latin American drug cartels, describing them as terrorist groups as part of its justification for the strikes.
