The three generals, who have not been named, had links with the opposition, said Mr Maduro.

The arrests are the latest development in nearly two months of political unrest, which have cost the lives of at least 32 people.

Key to successful plotting — don’t mention your plan to anyone until there’s a clear shot at Maduro. Then make sure he doesn’t survive. Problem solved.

The big, estupido, mustached Stump will not have a ‘glorious, celebrated ending’ like his patron saint Hugo. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

This is just to stifle any thoughts of rebellion.
In reality it will drive some desperate souls
TO rebellion. The sooner the better.

Muscle-flexing Russia on the move, South American military juntas against idiotic pineapple-faced communist Presidentes bubbling up, sour American economy, and a comically inept pansy in the White House.

It's like the 1970s all over again, but even lamer. Hurry up and get here, 1980s.
