WTF?

#Venezuela #oil proceeds are going into a private account in #Qatar that #US #Treasury cannot block. This can’t be legal.

Marco Rubio: "The oil proceeds are being deposited into an account that ultimately will become a US Treasury blocked account here in the US. We will say 'this is what this money can be spent on.' They will submit to us a budget request -- 'we want to use the money on these things.!'"

I have been reading a lot of reports that ICE is stealing from people. Everything from phones to jewelry, even reports of clothing gone missing from people held in custody of ICE.

There was one report, that said the car ICE was driving without plates was someone else's car that they had taken.

Following the #Venezuela raid, #Trump has voiced threats toward #Colombia & #Mexico, while resurfacing his desire to control #Greenland

“Colombia is very sick too, run by a sick man who likes making cocaine & selling it to the United States, & he’s not going to be doing it very long,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One.
