I used to think this guy was ok...like Dave Letterman.
But then he started pushing his "Vax-Scene" which I originally thought was a mock.
BUT he was triple-dosed with the Clot-Shot. So obviously he was supporting it...in a "fun" way.
Supporting a fake vaccine that kills humans = ++ungood

I hereby revoke his status within Discordia.
Hail Eris...

Shut the fuck up, plague rat.

So you are just siezing control of countries now? Interesting take on "freedom"

It's early yet, and I thought both 'Colonialism,' and 'Imperialism' had gone out of fashion some time ago. But, I'm not 100% certain, as I was not a political science major at 'uni.' So, for right now, I'm inclined to score this one as 'Attempted Grand Larceny.'

However, that charge may need to be changed to 'Grand Larceny,' depending upon who ultimately gains control of Venezuela's massive oil reserves. Now, if the 'Merican Oil Oligarchs do end up profiting from this invasion, then I believe this will be Marco Rubio's ticket to winning the the Greedy Oligarchy Party's (GOP's) presidential primary in 2028. I write this because if there's nothing in Venezuela with Trump's name already on it, he wouldn't be able to locate the country on a map. So, I doubt His Vileness was the one who originally came up with the idea for this invasion.

I know you and I don't speak, but you're missing the whole point, here.

This doesn't have to do with oil, at least not directly.  It has to do with a modern day Molotov Ribbentrop Pact, where the USA, Russia, and presumably China will divvy up the parts of the world worth having.

All you have to do is look at Rubio's statements to see that.

https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2025/12/19/Marco-Rubio-Ukraine-Russia/3961766175571/

Dec. 19 (UPI) -- U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Friday that U.S. negotiators have made "progress" attempting to end the war between Russia and Ukraine, but ultimately "it's not our war."

<snip>

"It's not our war. It's a war on another continent.

Apparently, nobody has told the sweaty little muppet that South America is also a separate continent.

Add this to Xi's weird proclamation about Taiwan, and Trump doing everything he can to avoid helping Ukraine, and the picture becomes remarkably clear.

However, the fun bit starts when this arrangement falls apart, just like the original pact.

Thieves fall out.

Whattaya mean "Now"? 

Fair point

Looking at things objectively, in all but two or three situations, we've been the baddies.

UK company sends factory with 1,000C furnace into space

As per this article:

"It sounds like science fiction - a factory, located hundreds of kilometres above the Earth, churning out high-quality materials.

But a Cardiff-based company is a step closer to making this a reality.

Space Forge have sent a microwave-sized factory into orbit, and have demonstrated that its furnace can be switched on and reach temperatures of around 1,000C.

They plan to manufacture material for semiconductors, which can be used back on Earth in electronics in communications infrastructure, computing and transport.

Conditions in space are ideal for making semiconductors, which have the atoms they're made of arranged in a highly ordered 3D structure.

When they are being manufactured in a weightless environment, those atoms line up absolutely perfectly. The vacuum of space also means that contaminants can't sneak in.

The purer and more ordered a semiconductor is, the better it works."

Having worked in the semiconductor/fiber optics industry, I can attest that there is a near unending quest for cleanliness, purity, miniaturization, precision, and production yield in the manufacture of those devices. Still, I was never approached about building a manufacturing facility in space. And so, I am impressed.

Yes this is just a steal, Trump openly bragged about oil in his press thing earlier, the only thing I will say is at least this is open and not insulting everyone's intelligence like sending weapons inspector to find the weapons of mass distraction.
