I just got a pop up ad with a dude sitting on a private jet and I thought the internet thought I was a private jet guy and then I got to the fine print and it was an ad about hair loss.
Well, it seems like I have to spend my morning correcting these fucking liars...
Thomas, you duplicitous, grandstanding fraud...
First, the oil isn't "stolen."
It's lawfully seized Venezuelan crude from Maduro's criminal regime...tankers and cargoes violating U.S. sanctions that Congress itself authorized through multiple statutes (CAATSA, VERDAD Act, and repeated appropriations for OFAC enforcement).
The executive branch, under IEEPA powers Congress delegated, blocks, seizes, and forfeits sanctioned property.
This isn't theft; it's enforcement of law against a narco-terrorist state that starved its people and funded Hezbollah.
Calling it "stolen" makes you sound like a Maduro apologist or a useful idiot...pick one.
Since you are a fucking libertarian I'll go with both...
Second, the proceeds aren't being funneled into "Trump's personal piggy bank."
That's a venomous, baseless smear worthy of MSNBC, not a sitting Congressman.
The funds from these sales are parked in a protected Qatari account precisely to shield them from predatory creditors (ConocoPhillips, Crystallex, etc.) who hold billions in valid U.S. court judgments against Maduro's regime.
The goal: preserve the money for the Venezuelan people under a future legitimate government, not let it be siphoned off by vulture funds in U.S. courts.
This is textbook sanctions policy...neutral offshore escrow to prevent asset dissipation.
We've done variants for Iran, Russia, Afghanistan. It's strategic, not corrupt.
Third, your hysterical screech about "only Congress can appropriate money" is constitutional illiteracy wrapped in performative outrage.
These aren't U.S. taxpayer dollars drawn from the Treasury requiring annual appropriation.
They are forfeited foreign assets...proceeds of sanctioned property.
The executive has longstanding authority to manage, liquidate, and direct such funds under existing statutory frameworks without new line-item appropriation each time.
If every seized tanker sale needed a separate vote, sanctions would be toothless. Your purported "originalist" reading collapses the moment you touch reality.
You're not defending the Constitution, Thomas.
You're posturing for clicks while undermining a policy that starves a brutal regime of revenue and preserves resources for Venezuela's liberation.
This is the same spineless isolationist reflex that leaves tyrants untouched and Americans exposed.
You lecture about fiscal restraint yet clutch pearls when the executive uses delegated powers to crush a hemisphere-threatening socialist kleptocracy.
Wake up yourself, Congressman.
Your selective outrage isn't principle...it's cowardice dressed as conviction. America First demands strength against dictators, not impotent whining from the cheap seats.
The Republic endures despite quislings like you.
In other words, get your fucking head out of your fucking ass... Thomas.
Dear President @ZelenskyyUa,
It seems to me that we will not be able to come to an understanding. I am a free man who serves the Hungarian people. You are a man in a desperate position who, for the fourth year now, has been unable or unwilling to bring a war to an end—despite the fact that the President of the United States has provided every possible assistance to do so.
Therefore, no matter how much you flatter me, we cannot support your war efforts. The Ukrainian people, of course—despite your carefully chosen insults—can still count on us to continue supplying your country with electricity and fuel, and we will also continue to support refugees arriving from Ukraine.
Life itself will settle the rest, and everyone will get what they deserve.
Viktor
Sometimes I forget that leftists cheered little girls drowning in floodwaters because those little girls were from Texas and probably came from conservative families.
Nothing after that should surprise me, and yet, the vile things these people say still leave me speechless.
Fantastic Breakdown 🔥👇🏼
“Whatever you think of Trump, his economic plan makes complete sense.”
“This is exactly how government should be run. Efficiently. Because when you eliminate waste, the money can actually go where it is actually needed, to the elderly, to the sick, to people who cannot work, and that is the real purpose of government, to protect the weak.”
“Ever since Trump came into the White House, we’ve been having win after win after win! I don’t know about you, but those years under Biden was an absolute nightmare for the American people!”
She is SPOT ON!! 🔥👇🏼
@kylegriffin1 Hey Kyle, why did you leave out the part of the article that says this claim was investigated by the FBI and “Merrick Garland’s DOJ cleared Matt Gaetz and didn’t charge him.”
These partial hit quotes you’re so good at releasing are a big part of why you guys keep losing.
Imagine being @JoeBiden. Your son makes millions of dollars from foreign entities but does not pay taxes because that would mean disclosing that he is engaged in foreign lobbying. With the millions of dollars and no serious job, he becomes a drug addict and illegally obtains a gun. All he tells them is that he is the son of the US Vice President, and he claims that part of the money will go to the "Big Guy." He promises them access to his dad and top US officials. They hire him without any qualifications and pay him millions of dollars.
Eventually, the information comes out, and the Justice Department has to investigate. The investigation drags on for five years, and eventually, they strike a deal with him to plead guilty to two misdemeanors of tax evasion so that the government would not prosecute him for illegally possessing a gun as a drug addict, a serious crime that has sent tens of thousands of Americans to prison for years.
Imagine being the same father who, as a senator, drafted a draconian anti-drug law that sent tens of thousands of black people and others to prison, confiscated all their belongings, and gave a big speech boasting that the drug addicts should all be taken off the streets. Now that your son is one of them, when you're asked about his case, you say you're proud of him and he has done nothing wrong.
Imagine journalists and commentators like @joenbc justifying it on television, singing your praises when their own child would have been in prison long ago for the same crimes. Imagine the people who believed in the rule of law watching the two-tiered justice system so brazenly displayed.
America is in crisis. May God help us all!
The White House walk back of @POTUS regime change call is unlikely to wash. Putin will see it as confirmation of what he’s believed all along. Bad lapse in discipline that runs risk of extending the scope and duration of the war.
