Erick Erickson this morning in his newsletter:

quote:

For those interested, Nicolas Maduro lost his election in Venezuela and refused to give up power. In so doing, he invited Iranian militants and Hezbollah operatives into Venezuela and gave them land to set up shop. He also invited in the Chinese, Iranian, and Russian navies to train his navy for a planned military operation into neighboring Guyana to capture American oil fields. Previously, Hugo Chavez invited in American oil companies to Venezuela, had them build up Venezuela’s oil production capacity, then promptly took over the oil fields, threw out the foreigners, and forced the locals to keep working.

Maduro kept the policy and used the money to help fund Cuba, Iran, and provide China with oil, all while funding global narco-trafficking operations. He is not the legitimate leader of Venezuela and, this morning, the Canadian Prime Minister, Argentinian President, and most of the leaders in Europe are all commending Donald Trump for a successful operation.

So basically they're supporting someone who did exactly what they were afraid Trump would do.

Elliot Abrams this morning on National Review:
quote:


When Chavez came to power, Venezuela was exporting more than 3 million barrels of oil a day. That is now down to about 900,000 barrels per day,




That is because he invited companies in, seized the production, and then banned foreign investment.

This neocon clown was once a rabid #neverTrumper.

Erickson is singing Trump’s praises now but will he be fighting in Trump’s corner when the next engineered “crisis” hits?

I think all honest people know the answer to that question.

But with a major caveat. As long as it’s Commie filth refusing to give up power, the Dem filth supports it.

They watch fake news all day. They live in an echo chamber and they are clueless with anything and everything that is not in their 24/7 echo chamber

I have watched a lot of Liberal podcasts (just to be nosey) and they never ever discuss anything what Trump is actually doing - every podcast is about Trump bad, Epstein, Dictator, fascist, racist, Jan 6th, pete Hegseth is mean, bla bla bla
bla bla bla

At least with the conservative podcasters, they actually discuss and post things with solid evidence and proof of exactly everything the Democrats are doing.

In other words.. conservatives are smart enough to learn about things outside of the MAGA bubble where Democrats only listen and learn about what's only in the Democrat bubble and whenever a story like this happens, they are all fricking clueless about everything.

He was never a never trumpet. He criticizes Trump when he thinks he is wrong and agrees with him when he thinks he is right.

B.S.

Erick Erickson: “You have a massive number of independent voters and Republican voters who want nothing to do with Trump…”

That fatheaded ginger is a Bush-loving neocon cuck:

OP also cited Elliott Abrams, one of the founders of PNAC. We now have people who claim to be MAGA parroting the language of people whose express goals are globalism.

Actually I'm not a neocon. Opposed the war in Iraq. Thought we were in Afghanistan way too long. Unlike a pussy such as you, I'm not afraid to use our military when a legitimate need requires it.

Erickson is a RINO/Neocon, not sure he’s the best to justify what happened.

The Erickson’s and Lindsey Graham’s of the world are hard as diamonds today. They love some regime change.
