We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

President Donald Trump just made it clear that he already has his eyes set on a new target following the US's capture of the president of Venezuela. During a press conference on Saturday, he urged Colombian President Gustavo Petro to 'watch his ass.' The threat marks a dramatic escalation in tensions across Latin America, with Trump openly invoking the Monroe Doctrine to assert US dominance in the Western Hemisphere.

I personally find making cocaine to be a more useful talent than fucking kids and protecting child sex traffickers.

[–] slappyfuck@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago

I would very much like it if they would make cocaine and ship it here.

Fuck me, he wants the whole damned continent

He's going for the objective: North America, south America and a third continent of choice. I know, it's kind of cheating as it's one of the easier ones, but they forgot to remove the card when the game started.

Conservatives.

Good at threatening others.

Bad at governing.

[–] andxz@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

They want to control, not govern. At this rate they'll be there soon enough.

AKA: bribe me to not do anything because the military won't question my illegal orders...

[–] zencat@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

Those files sure have something

Maduro and Trump are friends

Maduro gets to escape his country and save face instead of being assassinated or executed.

Trump gets to manufacture a conflict so he can start martial law and become a dictator, and to distract from us learning he came inside little girls.

You're pasting your little lies with this copypasta under every post. Stop trying to manufacture hatred against Maduro and minimize what happened by linking him with Trump

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You're deepthroating manufactured consent for a war

Get a grip loser

[–] Socialism_Everyday@reddthat.com -2 points 4 days ago

I'm a literal communist advocating for the stop of militarization of the US. Your stupid made-up copy paste is useless

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

All thats going to do is bolster the traffickers to redouble their production
