Whistling past the graveyard.🪦 Trump has never learned a lesson in his life.

While Trump announces America will “run the country” of Venezuela, a prospect that could cost billions of dollars, don’t forget that countless American families just lost their health care two days ago and millions more saw skyrocketing costs https://t.co/r6E2g5iOI5 pic.twitter.com/pK2eIUax6l

A dead cat would bounce better.

GOP Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks: "We don't want to have troops on the ground. Iowans don't want that, Americans don't want that. We do not want nation building. This is not what's going to occur." pic.twitter.com/behefIN36p

A reminder Trump didn’t consult Congress. And Congress is already running from him.

Does he imagine he’s running the government here?

This is exactly what the Bush administration said after we dismantled the Iraqi state, and the resulting power vacuum gave rise to ISIS. Fucking psychotic. https://t.co/nJju2RrRQV

Pretty sure that’s not the lesson Issa said Trump had learned.

Future’s so bright….
