Hell of a way to start a new year.

Most presidents would still be hungover preparing this. I think the “edge” Trump has is being a teetotaler. More hydrated, more edge.

Wait Bush was a teetotaler too wasn’t he? Never mind I just harpooned my own theory
 
also what source is saying Venezuela should become the 51st state?, the US has well known history of occupying entire countries before, what kind of moron logic made someone immediately go to that option when there's not even a single American boot in Venezuela right now?
Venezuela is a shithole, it’s not good enough to become a state.
 
The commies has fucked over Venezuela that badly that a US-backed puppet government is unironically the best option for that country at this point, the alternatives are back to the status quo or a full on civil war between competing factions on trying to fill the power vacuum, it's in the interest for both Americans and the local population that Venezuela must become an economically stable place to live in again.
 
Something needs to be pointed out to the whining right wingers on X, an example presented below.

Every barely functioning failed state south of our border has had the explicit policy of deporting their demographic issues to us. It is a matter of state policy for these places to encourage and aid their undesirables to leave their country. A third of Venezuelans have left Venezuela since the commies gutted it. Ok, I get it, "we want them deported and we want it done now!" Wonderful sentiment. Now use your brain power for a second and ask yourself "deport to where?" Oh, we're going to deport them to the countries that as a matter of policy foisted them on us in the first place? Well golly gee big-brain, I wonder how long they're going to stay "deported!" As far as I am concerned, this event is a mirror of the Iran event where we are getting to see who actually is looking at reality and how to solve the issue and who is just emotionally masturbating publicly for likes. Turn off Venezuela as a facilitator of the SA narco-states, start exporting that oil, and take another step forward in stabilizing South America. These are pretty necessary steps to making deportations permanent, lowering energy prices in the US to provide another competitive manufacturing edge against China, and getting the other narco-friendly governments to play ball. All these things are part what needs to be done.

So many people are just unserious.
I'm pretty sure FDR bombed a lot more than 7 countries in one year.

Sounds like cope to me. America might be in a different place than for example a European country because mass deportation by train isn't exactly viable but come on. If there was an actual effort you could up the scale of deportation by several factors.
 
Right wing virtue signaling instead of pragmaticly solving the issue to deport them.
See this:
The real question is, will Tucker and other Panicans apologize THIS time for being wrong....AGAIN.

Answer: No, probably not. ("We were right to be concerned, we didn't say it would break out into WWIII!?!)

Every time Trump does this and shows that America is not just talk but action it makes me lose more and more respect for Tucker and other Panicans, as they never apologize for being wrong.
You'll never see them apologize for being wrong ever.

The right is also predisposed to NOT liking war. Due to the right being the majority of people to send their kids or join the military means putting them into danger.
And many people on the right know or are someone who lost people in the War on Terror.

Many people on the grifter, social media, or podcast right know of these fears and exploit them to listen to their HOT TAKE (WAR is...uh...BAD!!! ALWAYS!!!).
Its an easy way to control your base when you exploit their fears.

Right now what Trump is expertly doing with Iran and now is getting people comfortable with the USA actually enacting and displaying actionable strength (not just verbal or monetary, which is what we were lulled into).
These actions show that Yes, we are strong, we are powerful, we can dominate when we want to, we don't have to listen to Panicans, we can just do the things we want and in our interests.
