Ah. I did see the Trump tweet. Biggest surprise is Todd Young. I think Trump is starting to make an enemy of Indiana.

Oops. Maybe there's a geographical license restriction. Would you please punish me? The gift dialogue created the same link trying again... Or you're having me on.
She reportedly "banged her head" getting in a vehicle after being captured. Some bruising can take time to show up after the initial injury. Regardless, given that when he was running for office the first time, Trump talked about how police should be allowed to "rough up" suspects, I'm not willing to give the administration the benefit of the doubt as to how she was injured.
This episode of the QAA podcast features two folks who spent some time in Venezuela. Regardless of what one thinks of Moduro, the situation is really complicated, and they dig into some of the details. How complicated? Well, imagine if in the wake of the 2016 election, the Democrats (somehow) managed to get a Constitutional amendment passed (which was supposed to keep Trump out of power), that in 2020, Trump used to take control of the government, even though he clearly lost the election. That's what we're dealing with.
And now apparently Trump has warmed to Machado considerably and will meet with her at the White House, while also saying he'd be "honored" to accept her peace prize, which she recently said she'd like to give to him. Holy shit. Well, I'll give Machado this: She cares more about the fate of her country than she does about some medal. Ironically proving why she is far more deserving of it than Trump. I'm curious if any of the usual MAGA simps will have anything to say about this. But I doubt it.

Those incompetent shitweasels put a target on the backs of any Americans in Venezuela. US Department of State Tells Americans Leave Venezuela ‘Immediately’
Dear Leader just "truthed" (or whatever the hell you call it) a mock Wikipedia display declaring himself the acting president of Venezuela.
More and more it should be clear to anyone with a functioning brain that the system of US law is pretty much based on a gentleman's agreement, a handshake and a pinkie swear, because if this were anyone else, they'd have been put under the jail.
