I wonder how Cindy Sheehan is feeling right about now. And Bobby Kennedy Jr. too.

Hope so. Hope arms are being funneled. Hear that Mr. President?

I’m thinking Bill Gates could buy the whole country for a billion bucks and make himself king.

It may take “Gates’ Gold” plus pickings from Soros to bail out Venezuela one day soon. And forget funding the Border Wall with El Chapo’s confiscated monies. That may also be needed in a bailout.
No secret that in late 2011, “Hugo” repatriated 160T of Venezuelan gold from overseas banks. No recollection if this was all of Venezuela’s gold reserve. In January 2016, Maduro ordered the shipment of 48T of gold to Switzerland to pay Venezuelan debt. Back of the envelope math suggests Venezuela has in-country gold reserves of approximately 112T.
Chavez’s daughter, still living in the presidential palace and rumored to be the richest woman in Latin America and Maduro is but an upwardly mobile bus driver, who has the key to the vault.

The government leads 37-0 (protesters killed in the last month).

This guy Maduro may be a retarded bus driver, but he doesn’t let the opposition tell him what to do.

Funny how that doesn’t seem to be the case in this country.

I forgot about Chavez’s daughters. years back they refused to leave the palace. Maybe the country can borrow from the daughters, the money her dad stole from them, to keep the country running.

I wonder how ex-president Jimmy Carter feels?

In the new Venezuela I hope that the citizens have there own version of the second amendment written into their constitution and their hearts.

Yeah. When you can’t get basic items like tampons or you find yourself starving to death, one’s “hero” who ushered in the misery rightly becomes the target of hate.

This is the classic end result of what the insanity of liberalism brings to the world.
This country was once a pretty well-off oil exporter and did quite well under capitalism philosophy.
Now, we can add it to the long list right behind Rhodesia and South Africa.
It’s amazing how much damage one tin-horn insane liberal can do to a country once he’s in power.
Let it be a lesson for us, and the world, what this filthy insane ilk wants to do to us.

At least some of the military is joining in the protests.

But guns, while nice, are not crucial to a revolt.

Ask the people in Hungary.

There is no USSR to send tanks this time.
