The US intelligence community assesses Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “viability as a leader” to be “in jeopardy,” according to its annual report on the national security threats facing the United States that was presented to Congress on Monday.
Remember when Trump tried a coup in Venezuela and they clearly dusted off a 1980’s coup plan in the smartphone era? They kept trying to stage things for TV cameras and random people were posting videos of them on social media like, “What are these guys filming?” And then they just pretended it worked and were like, “Juan Guaidó is the president now.” as if you could just pretend a coup worked.
That was some of the least competent shit I’ve ever seen. We shouldn’t be involved in coups at all so it was morally repugnant but on top of that, everyone involved in the planning and execution of the coup attempt should be required to wear clown makeup and big floppy clown shoes for the rest of their lives.
That’s a road I’d very much rather we left in the rear view mirror, if I’m honest.
They would have to stop doing it to leave it in the rear view.

Yeah it was pretty insane and dismaying and absurd to watch that episode unfold…
