American Imperialism 2026

Make America Great Again

It's about Power and Money

Many of us had hoped that 2026 would be a better year for us politically than 2025, but NO, within 48 hours of 2026 the Trump Administration attacked a sovereign nation and our Ill-Mannered, Imperialistic, Snollygoster in Chief stated, "We're going to be taking out a tremendous amount of wealth out of the ground, and that wealth is going to the people of Venezuela, and people from outside of Venezuela that used to be in Venezuela, and it goes also to the United States of America in the form of reimbursement for the damages caused us by that country,...We're designating various people, and we're going to let you know who those people are that would run Venezuela,,,,It's largely going to be for a period of time, the people that are standing right behind me. We're going to be running it."

How long will Americans tolerate a murderous, ill-mannered, amoral, narcissistic imperialist, before they demand his third impeachment?

“Manners are what vex or soothe, corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us” -Edmund Burke

Right now, in every grotesque social media post; in every cabinet meeting devoted, North Korea-like, to adulating him; in every executive-order-signing ceremony intended to make him appear like a Chinese emperor; in every fawning reference to all the peace he’s supposedly brought the world; in every Neronic enlargement of the White House’s East Wing; in every classless dig at his predecessor; in every shady deal his family is striking to enrich itself; in every White House gathering of tech billionaires paying him court (in the literal senses of both “pay” and “court”); in every visiting foreign leader who learns to abase himself to avoid some capricious tariff or other punishment — in all this and more, our standards as a nation are being debased, our manners barbarized.

-Bret Stephens

Let’s call the invasion of Venezuela and obliteration of Venezuelans in international waters what it is: Imperialism and MURDER!

How long?  It is past time!
