U.S., Venezuela oil agreement gives U.S. access to vast reserves, critics alarmed
Florida rep deletes X post blasting Trump’s oil deal with Venezuela, then posts again to praise it nypost.com/2026/08/29/u...
Internet do your thing, someone has a screenshot of the post she deleted.
You know she was threatened with something.
MAGAts are mentally unstable. I am sure there were death threats.
Someone never learned that on the internet, deleted doesn’t mean gone.
How did I know she was a republican?
The call must have come in: "This is the White House. You wouldn't want anything unfortunate to happen to your Florida gig, now would you?"
Trump is selling 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan oil as if they’re sitting there waiting to flow. They aren’t. Venezuela’s devastated oil infrastructure will require years and billions in investment. The 65 billion figure is headline bait. More bluster and corruption.
Paging Danielle Smith! Trump’s attempt to control Venezuelan oil is an end in itself. US dominance gives the U.S. access to reserves it can treat as its own, excluding China, Russia and other buyers. Venezuelan critics call it “predatory”. An energy historian: “It sounds colonial, because it is.”
I wonder if Dani still thinks using energy as a leverage is a bad idea, since the Americans just showed up with her replacement.
