Funny. You get on to us for "posting propaganda" but you applaud CNN and the rest of the leftist legacy media.

Hypocrite much, Elvis? (Answer: Yes, you are.)

So answer this: Are you happy Maduro was removed from power? Or are your feelings hurt? (Actually, I don't care what you think so don't worry about answering it. Just be mad.)

They may be, but the videos posted here sure as **** aren’t from today.

LOL, still stuck on that? You're like a broken record. Surely you can come up with a better thought-out response to all this than to stoop to what amounts to parsing words. You are trying to direct our attention away from what is happening in real time by complaining about the same irrelevant issue throughout the thread. Why is that? Why haven't you shared your thoughts on the merits of this action? I'll tell you why: you can't. There is no rebuttal. This action carries only positive results for everyone involved not named Maduro, and you're crying over a date and time stamp.

I dare you; I double dog dare you to issue a statement about this that doesn't resort to a weak-ass whine about when a video was taken. Tell us how you feel about the action. Here's your chance to save yourself from looking like a complete idiot in the eyes of the board or to cement that pre-existing opinion.

Go for it, hoss.

I can't find the tweet, but I saw earlier that Roger Waters, formerly of Pink Floyd, said he stands with Maduro. (For context, Waters is an insufferable douchenozzle who's an avowed socialist as well as someone who supports the dumbest causes like "Free Palestine" (for example) and even made fun of Ozzy Osbourne after Ozzy's passing.)

Somebody comes along with easily debunked fake news or outright propaganda since no cult member here does any sort of research or critical thinking then claims victory repeating the same slop over and over.


This exchange the cult is having with the Elvis perfectly encapsulate this. Reposting propaganda videos of “support” of trumps actions and then getting butt hurt when he points out they don’t have anything to do with it

Reminds me of an old sign which one hung in the agriculture department at Auburn. "You can lead a whore to culture (horticulture), but you can't make her think!"

Irony so hard it should leave a mark

lol "easily debunked fake news" You mean news you don't like. Be honest.

Back on topic: There were even Venezuelans here in the Houston area celebrating this. There were videos on our local news stations with them talking about it. We did good, folks. We did good.

Ball gagger and Elvis both were ready to cast their votes for a brain dead fool but then had to vote for a drunk whore because they were told that was their only option. That is a cultish behavior if there ever was such

I'm certainly happy Maduro is out of power and Venezuela is better off without him. I'm also impressed with how quickly and efficiently US armed forces were able to get this done.

I just think the whole thing reeks of the nation building BS we went through in the 2000s. We're occupying a nation now and plan on extracting their natural resources and profit off them.

Drugs aside, I'm against nation building, regardless of who is President.

Should we align more with our Central and South American brethren over Europe? Yes

Should we turn them into future wannabe Americans? No

Should we do everything we can to assist a country in close proximity out of tyranny and into becoming a free republic?

GC whether or not Venezuelans are celebrating is besides the point. Maduro was a ****** dictator that deserved to be deposed. How does it serve our interests to depose him? There’s dozens more like him all over the world. There’s tens of thousand and maybe hundreds of thousands actual slaves in the UAE (great Trump donors) why aren’t we deposing the sheikhs? People would celebrate if we did.

Hell if Canada sent in the Royal Mounties and abducted Trump hundreds of millions of Americans would celebrate, would that justify their actions

None of it is nation building. All of it in the South China Sea and Southern Pacific, in the Ukraine and potentially Europe, and in the Caribbean, Central and South America is the establishment of an active sphere of influence for the use of raw materials, defense of all peoples in those regions, and what is going to be 3 spheres of control by the Super-Powers.

Reject it or oppose it and we are in for WWIII. Utilize it and WWIII may be avoided for a few more decades. The United States is not going to tolerate Chinese or Russian influences in our sphere of control, and they will not tolerate ours.

Think of the U.N. being the NCAA, and all FCS and lower tier FBS countries will do their own thing but within the sphere of the Upper tier. And this will happen for defense (protection of markets and resources) and to help the most powerful protect their resources. Responsibility through it will be upon the Superpower to enhance the standard of living throughout their sphere of influence and that is in their self-interest because doing so will eliminate much of any potential threat if the vast majority of people lead improved lives.

Do that in all 3 spheres of influence and the chance for peace exists, at least until one feels they have taken the technological advantage.

You can call me a pessimist or simply a realist but avoiding WWIII right now should be the globes priority. We all lose if it breaks out and the extant forces are there for it to ignite.

You post fully states what is going on in this world today. The problem with that one of the three countries are free people with the ability to voice disagreement without fear of government making them disappear. That's why I believe Trump is the 100% correct person at this time in history to be the American President.

Trump seems to see the overall big picture of China and Russia and understands China is the biggest threat to America. Most politicians would not do what Trump just did in fear of blowback. This is not about country building or even drug flow (for the most part)....

its about stabilizing a country in our sphere and stopping China from gaining a influence. A lot of people, on both sides , that could have been president, even if they understood the big picture. Would not have made this move....because of politics optics

It was a law enforcement action, genius. Maduro is the head of a drug cartel, had charges hanging over his head, had plenty of warning to leave, and he didn't, so he got arrested and will be brought to trial.

Are you old enough to remember Noriega? If so, do you recall Bush 41 being arrested for an illegal action? I didn't think so.

Not to mention, Rubio just said that no further action will be taken in Venezuela.

It's a leftist. It won't listen.

Of course not. I just like to lay out the position, lol.

None of these peeps are ever going to change their positions, any more than we would.

If you think I was trying to change her mind, then you would be incorrect. :)

Oh, I know. That's why I quit debating a lot of 'em. They don't care about facts. They just care about their feelings. Luckily, facts don't care about their (or our) feelings.

Are you unhappy that Maduro was arrested? Are you unhappy that most Venezuelans are thrilled to be rid of Maduro the dictator? Are you unhappy that Trump was involved?

Are you really weirding out b/c the time stamps don't match? Do you think that disproves that people are happy about this?

What is your problem?

Your question is basically “Why do you care that we are posting propaganda and lies”.

Why was it so important for someone to create the lie? Why was it so important for CP and UofM to post the lies here. He’ll, why is dipshit above still defending them.

I’m simply opposed to lying, and find it interesting the effort to create and distribute lying propaganda around this to support Trump.

You guys don’t seem to care if they are lies as long as you agree with them, which is interested but also expected.

So my question is why don’t you care?

That's pretty laughable, since that's almost all you guys post.

Plus, are you stupid enough to think somebody was trying to trick you? No, too easy to catch, so they just posted what they saw, and didn't bother to check.

That's not a lie, doofus. It's a mistake. Lies are intentional. Mistakes are not.

Surely you understand the difference. Or maybe not.

But you were so eager to get a gotcha on them, you just made yourself look more stupid than normal.

2. Cuba has been served notice, and in a wonderfully indirect way. [you consider this indirect? It’s about as subtle as a sock on the door]

3. Now the board knows why its leftist are tolerated. Mild delusional thought actually inoculates against Extreme delusional thought. Our leftists act like a vaccine against the hard left of reddit and the mainstream media. Idiocy reveals true delusion more clearly and completely than reason. [lol there is certainly delusion on this board. Reddit too, a lot of the same personality types with different ideologies though]

are you agreeing? or did you hit the submit button before the hive-mind gave you your talking points?

lol hive mind taking points:

MAGA:
No more foreign wars! America first! Kamala Harris will start wars! We’re not world police! Biden started wars because he was weak and couldn’t negotiate!

Trump starts a war:
Wars are great! Regime change is good! Trump is strong for starting wars! We should be world police!

1. It is an enforcement of the Monroe Doctrine.
2. It is a police effort to curtail narcotics trafficking in the U.S.
3. Since the fall of the Soviet Union the Marxist in and around the Americas have used drug trafficking to further their incursions and to destabilize our society.

All are valid reasons to take these actions and the fact that they haven't been taken before was a dereliction of duty by former presidents.

Biden the Biggest Offender in Chief cannot even spell dereliction much less say it
