Paying Attention™ Secret Word

Oils Well That Ends Before It Starts

January 12, 2026

Dumbass Trump had no plan for after kidnapping Nicolas Maduro. This is no surprise at all. Some would say Donald likes to shoot from the hip, but clearly it’s from slightly lower, from the place he talks out of. 

Trump claimed (i.e., lied) that he talked to numerous oil executives before the military assault on Minneapolis…I mean Venezuela. He said he told them something was about to happen and they should get ready. SURPRISE! Donny was lying. He did not talk to anyone before or after fucking everything up in Venezuela, including Congress, who should have been warned if not consulted before the operation, especially since there was no immediate threat requiring the invasion/kidnapping. Trump’s excuse? He didn’t trust Congress to keep a secret. Pretty funny coming from the world's biggest blabbermouth.

The surprise is that once Der Furor did talk to the oil execs, once he finished gaping out the window to admire the progress of his Balls Room, at his special oilmen summit, they wanted nothing to do with the pending debacle. 

Even the man our fading fascist addressed as Mr. Chevron (Can you guess which oil company he works for? At least he didn’t call him Tim Apple.) wasn’t ready to throw in with the Man With No Plan. Getting involved with Trump’s pipeline dream of expropriating Venezuela’s oil and pocketing the profits was described as “uninvestable”. Without going into detail, Venezuela’s infrastructure is shit, the political climate is now as unstable as ever and could devolve into total chaos at any minute. In short, a Trump-sized shitshow. But at least Donny Bonespurs isn’t worried about putting other people’s boots on the ground there.

Oh well.
