U.S. brought back $100 million of gold from Venezuela, Interior Secretary Burgum says

When the shooting starts, the looting starts.

They did the same in Iraq, and Lybia BTW.

Imagine a world where the media, the 'liberal" media, didn't immediately adopt right wing framing of anything and everything. From "pro life,“ to "Alligator Alcatraz," to calling *girls* raped by the Epstein set "women," to this bullshit, to just printing Trump's exact words and framing, across the US, across different publications, for the last decade. Just imagine a world without that. Feels basically impossible, unfortunately

Yeah, they just casually say this shit like it’s completely normal and justified behavior.

Officer, I was only brining back that woman's purse to my house.

More like Strategically Transferred Everything to Another Location.

No. It wasn’t stolen. It was just broughten back.

In maralago

Stole. They stole it.

The Venezuela operation cost 2.2 billion dollars. So we still didn’t break even after pillaging a foreign country. This administration the most idiotic fascist government in history.

Pillaged

He used to go on and on about the gold being secretly stolen from Ft. Knox by the Democrats… Can’t wait to see what happens there.

It is very bizarre

It's not unrefined, so much as just oddly shaped. Like wedding rings. And teeth. You know, odd natural shapes like that. A smelter can fix it, no problem.

Funny gold in Venezuela is mostly obtained near the border with Brazil and deep in the jungle, by independent miners panning concentrates from rivers and from water blasting clay soils to release the nuggets. Everything is done by hand and then sold locally to middlemen and then it goes to the government. The same government that every so often has a break in into their facilities in the jungle and it’s always a kilo they say it manages to be stolen. To date not a single person has been caught for these crimes. The whole hold bearing areas are always heavily controlled by the military with several check points you need to pass along any route you take to go anywhere. It is a vast area!

I was suspicious of the lot of 2000 year old sword found in the Iranian region DHS had turned into them from a port like a week before the bombing but I guess if were just grabbing stuff thats probably too much hassle.

100 million must weigh a lot. How to transport that much on a Chinook??

While it is true that the media is full of propaganda, the biggest term of propaganda ever is this word we. We did not do this they did.

Only when poor brown people do it.

Greedy fucks still looking for El Dorado.

It will pay for the next round of gold painted decorations for The White House.

It won’t buy *you* anything. Trump’s net worth will have gone up by a random 100 million though, by a funny coincidence.

Safely kept in Putin's vault

That's just the theft they told us about ....

Wherever trump plans to retire to, like the $10B payments he keeps giving himself, and the $6B from his crypto scam coin. It used to be Swiss bank accounts.aybe now it's Dubai, where reports said the Venezuelan oil money went.

Pirates actually had to abide some laws to make a ship function. This administration is uninterested in even the well being of their fellow pirates.

It is called moral injury. Embarrassing/Ashamed covers a lot of things, but this is moral injury. It goes beyond embarrassing.

We're the baddies.

Arr Matey, we're pirates! Destroy boats, kidnap the captain, plunder gold, blockade ports, forcibly relocate people, have obnoxious flags - it's a whole scene.

The man bankrupted a c*****, of course he doesn't.

Likely loaded into a Black Hawk helicopter or Chinook from the presidential compound.
