I'm also a firm believer in these stories in papers are incredibly one sided on what actually happened.

I'm probably slow on the uptake and just realised why the USA suddenly is getting all interventionist in Venezuela
Why is US President Trump threatening Venezuela's President Maduro?
We look at what is behind the deployment of a large US military force to within striking distance of Venezuela.www.bbc.co.uk
María Corina Machado appears in Oslo after Nobel Peace Prize win
María Corina Machado speaks to the BBC after her secret journey from her home country.
Has anyone ever been so butt hurt because a black guy won an award he didn't?
Confused by this.

US seizes oil tanker off Venezuela as Caracas condemns 'act of piracy'
The move is a sharp escalation in Washington's pressure campaign against Nicolás Maduro's government.
Of course, the piracy and the immunity fro international prosecution are completely unrelated...
Im not sure the US desperately needs to pirate annoil ship lol.
Venezuela is far more important geopolitically, especially with Chinese investment, and Iranian influence.

Age is irrelevant and I find it highly unbelievable a leaf flew in his mouth. I think spitting is a disgusting habit and yes, it should be punished. Is the fine excessive? Sure. It's it worthy of outrage? Not really.

Plastic surgery. I've read recently there's a new procedure when chirurgist "pulls" the skin on the nape (to describe it shortly), it gives such an effect of a permanently surprised face. And then people has this facial expression "suddenly sat on a bicycle without a saddle"

Grand jury declines to indict Letitia James for second time in a week
The move marks the latest blow to Trump's effort to prosecute the New York attorney general for financial crimes.
www.bbc.co.uk
Having a grand jury refuse to indict once is rare, twice is practically unheard of, twice after the case got thrown out by a judge the first time because the prosecutor wasn't even legally appointed, completely new ground for the US legal system.
If ever people wanted to see what the judiciary being weaponised to go after political rivals actually looked like, look no further than this and the Jack Smith cases, both of which have collapsed.

Obamacare costs look set to spike for millions of Americans as Senate rejects duelling bills
The issue has caused a rift among Republicans, with healthcare set to be a campaign issue in next year's midterm elections.
www.bbc.co.uk
The idiocy of the Democrats really laid bare. They backed out of the government shutdown because the Republicans promised they would bring the issue of healthcare subsidies to the Senate. They didn't promise to pass it and would you look at that, they haven't passed it. So Democrats gave the Republicans what they wanted and got nothing in return once again.
These people have absolutely zero spine or political acumen.
I have some sympathy (not a huge amount).
It's a tough position to be in, claiming that you actually care about your constuencies, and then sitting there, watching them die whilst you okay political games again Yan opponent that neither cares about dead constituents, nor government shutdowns

I can see why people didn't vote for them. Other than it isn't Trump and tbh I can see why people would not vote for them again other than it's not Trump.Obamacare costs look set to spike for millions of Americans as Senate rejects duelling bills

Which I understand, except Republicans don't bat an eyelid about their constituents and used the threat of government shutdown repeated times under Biden and Obama to get tax and spending cuts they wanted.
At some point Democrats need to wake up and realise what they are dealing with. You can only keep "fighting fair" for so long when you opponent is kicking you in the nuts repeatedly. The Republicans are tearing whole parts of the US government to shreds in no small part because the Democrats have been completely unwilling and unable to stand up to them in any meaningful way. Their inaction is enabling way more harm than action would.
Which I tried to say - just falling foul of the typo fairy.
It's why I don't have much sympathy for them

Half right, half delusion though...
The Democrats arent idiots, theyre cowardly, they fail to fight for their convictions, and concede over and over.
These concetions however arent 'for the good of their constituents' they are for self serving reasons every time.
Democrats in recent years have just consistently put themselves in no win situations, whether thats donning the garb of African tribes and taking an official knee to communist movements, replacing candidates with candidates nobody liked or wanted, or trying to push the ACA as an integral part of the shirdown bill...
Im sure this shows the weakness of lack of clear messaging, the 'anything but Trump' strategy has faded, its no longer successful, and new leaders need to emerge with a proactive, clear message of growth and progress, a bit like Mamdani and AOC...
Schumer, Pelosi and co wont allow that while they exist!
