Sort of. To keep the US’s “fingerprints” off the operation, they’re going to send in a covert demolitions team to blow up the German dam, thus crippling Venzenula’s hydroelectric camshaw, which will directly cause problems with their turbo encabulator. They did a practice run in Nambia a few weeks ago. Or something like that.

So it’s been an exciting birthday for me. I got food poisoning from my birthday lunch last week, and lost the entire weekend to [use your imagination] and then recovery from same. And today, my actual birthday, I got suspended from twitter pending appeal because I called a person an ignorant little bitch and told her that her children should leave her out on the curb once she’s no longer useful. I was responding to her multiple tweets screaming that all social programs should be eliminated because there are people who are unwilling to work and it sets a bad example.
I suppose in a way, Twitter gave me the best birthday present ever. If they drag it on long enough, I will simply lose the habit of reading that site full of half rotted garbage. Sounds like a good plan to me!

âThe New York Times is reporting Sunday that the fire was actually started by supporters of oppostion leader Juan Guiado.
“Unpublished footage obtained by The New York Times and previously released tapes â including footage released by the Colombian government, which has blamed Mr. Maduro for the fire â allowed for a reconstruction of the incident. It suggests that a Molotov cocktail thrown by an antigovernment protester was the most likely trigger for the blaze. At one point, a homemade bomb made from a bottle is hurled toward the police, who were blocking a bridge connecting Colombia and Venezuela to prevent the aid trucks from getting through. But the rag used to light the Molotov cocktail separates from the bottle, flying toward the aid truck instead. Half a minute later, that truck is in flames. The same protester can be seen 20 minutes earlier, in a different video, hitting another truck with a Molotov cocktail, without setting it on fire.”
The Times also reported:
Many of Mr. Maduroâs critics claim that he ordered medication set on fire during the border standoff â even though many of his people have died of medicine shortages in hospitals. Yet the claim about a shipment of medicine, too, appears to be unsubstantiated, according to videos and interviews. The United States Agency for International Development, the principal supplier of the aid at the bridge, did not list medicine among its donations.
âThey tried a false flag operation, that supposedly the people of Venezuela had burned a truck carrying rotten food â no, no, no â it was they themselves, it was the criminals of IvĂĄn Duque,â Mr. Maduro told a crowd, referring to Colombiaâs president. â

Not when the major advertisers are jumping ship. There must be a point at which Carlson is just too toxic for companies to be willing to be associated with him.
Bayer was the only major advertiser on his show last night, and I’m sure that they are receiving thousands of emails telling them not to associate their brand with a radioactive creep like Carlson as a result of that. And Carlson can’t claim he misspoke, or his words were taken out of context. He was repeatedly making detailed arguments in support of his sick views. All he’s really got as a defense is his right to free speech, “Watch my show to see what I believe!“, and “But it was 10 years ago!“. That’s pretty weak sauce.

Gotta say, I always knew republicans were racist and misogynist but their across-the-board enthusiasm for child rape has really taken me by surprise.
I mean, I knew Southern republicans aspired to child brides but I really didn’t think the buttoned-down Ivy League type were closet kiddie-fiddlers. Pizzagate should’ve tipped me off—with republicans every accusation is a confession.
Ten bucks says Ben Shapiro is worried about his pro-pedophilia opinions being dragged into the light. If I wasn’t so worried about our inevitable war in Venezuela I’d be wallowing in schadenfreude at his anxiety.
