Oh, now c'mon GTS!

You know socialism works. Or... will work...

We just havent done it quite "right"... just yet.

Geeeez. It's not like we've had the entirety of the existence of mankind to test this ish out, amirite?

Personally, reading that? I'd blame Putin. seems the flavor of the day. Or better, we should invite them all over here, what with our elimination of poverty and all.

I lived in Venezuela for a couple of years.

1) I loathe Chavez and Maduro. Always have. Always will
2) Anyone who thinks that Chavez's and Maduro's policies are in any way comparable to anything proposed by the Democratic Party doesn't understand anything about the Democratic Party, Venezuela, or modern economics.
3) We shouldn't invade. It would play right into Maduro's hands. That would also make us responsible for the reconstruction. Remember the rule...you break it, you bought it.
4) The best thing to do is to refer the warden and the Cabinet Minister responsible for this to the ICJ in the Hague. That will get attention to the problem. And send a powerful message to VZ's leaders that WHEN they get knocked out of power in 2018, there will be an accounting.

No one said anything about the platforms of the Democratic Party except you.

Well pay better attention to this place then. That line of thought has been used by the cons a number of times in the past.

Tom is just funny sometimes.

A few days back I used the word "degeneracy" with absolutely no context, and he assumed I was talking about his sexual activities.

Today someone posts a thread about the glories of communism in Venezuela, and Tom is the first to bring up Democratic platforms.

He always offended, but also defensive to the point of jumping the gun.

Says the guy that knows everything. Just ask him, he'll tell you.

I'll wait to pass judgement until I hear Sean Penn's defense.

This has to end soon. Eventually, Maduro will run out of money to pay his military and then...game over. Maduro is highly unpopular. He's not Castro, who had

His handpicked Supreme Court should be told by the VZ opposition that any attempt to delay or diminish the next elections will be treated as treason.

Anyone who can't bring himself to call Bill Clinton a sexual predator has serious issues.

Bill Clinton is a philandering adulterer. But the rape accusations against him were no worse, and no more substantiated than those versus the Duke Lacrosse team. He's also NOT running for President.

Meanwhile, we don't have to question DJT's sexual assault accusations. Because we have him on tape talking about how he did it. And he IS running for President.

You'll make a great wife some day.

Pray someone puts a bullet in Maduro's head.

sad. Some day we'll wake up to a coup in Venezuela. It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out. Maduro and the socialists in Venezula can't really remain in power if people are starving and dying from preventable diseases. Nothing can save them unless oil prices skyrocket again and they are able to fund their socialist policies.

Whose rule?

Thankfully, Hollywood is coming to the rescue...

Garry Kasparov questions Jamie Foxx's meeting with Venezuelan president | Film | The Guardian

Quote:Kasparov, chair of the Human Rights Foundation, wrote a letter to Foxx and Haas – seen by the Hollywood Reporter – saying: “We have reason to believe that your visit with one of Latin America’s most notorious strongmen of the last few decades may have been motivated by financial interests and we would like you to clarify this to your millions of fans across the world.”

“Your recent participation in a propaganda campaign of the Venezuelan regime threatens to undo all the good work you’ve done and to tarnish your public image.”

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Kasparov asked the pair to disclose whether they are financially involved in an “Aragua real estate deal”, which he claimed is “falsely labelled a government housing project but has nothing to do with humanitarian work”.
