After Louis-Napoléon imitated his uncle’s coup in 1848, Marx wrote “History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce”. From the Twitter feeds of @BillKristol or @MaxBoot it’s abundantly clear that we have reached the farcical stage of neo-conservatism.

Correction: he was elected in 1848 but staged his coup to remain in power in 1851 (December 2nd because Napoléon was crowned Emperor at this date in 1804, and won at Austerlitz exactly one year later).

Michael: I believe the source of the belligerence may be connected to Koch Bros desire for cheap crude oil to their Louisiana refineries. Greg Palast has a piece on this. You may check the source and my assertion. (Memory vague).

Trump has been getting bad advise. I expect that some of these people, like Bolton, will be purged from Administration soon.

2/15/19: My theory is that Trump gave Maduro a heads up by announcing recognizing the opposition cuz the DS was up to something in Venezuela. Abrams is a strategic pick. Trump throws the DS a bone, while Abrams evokes outrage from the woke/half woke. I wager Maduro stays in power

I wonder if some see an argument for keeping Trump because of reactions to him like this. He is so despised the world over that he cannot sell US imperialist wars the way our beloved Nobel Prize winning Hollywood star Presidents have been able to in the past.

Because making a deal with the US, let alone the Trump administration, is on top of the list of every sane person on the planet. But yeah, it was "Cuban agents" .. All according to the leaked US plan for the coup:https://off-guardian.org/2019/05/02/leaked-usas-feb-2018-plan-for-coup-in-venezuela/ …

“Reversed course” I can’t trust the media. How the fuck would they know that? When they’ve barely reported accurately about Venezuela
