Venezuela is about to bite the dust...

[IndyDave1776]

Would honestly like to see Cali pass their single payer nonsense just have to have a US based example of how bass akwards they are to think Venezuela and other failed socialism is the way to go.

Anytime Ven is brought up lately though, all I hear is "well they didnt do it right. That wasnt TRUE socialism."

Indeed so. The cry is that the USSR, China, Cuba, Congo, et alia, failed to practice 'true' socialism. The fact of the matter is that the most perfect example of socialism in action is North Korea. Now, do we really want that?

So, Venezuela had a 'vote'...the company assigned to monitor it said that over 1 million ballots had been manipulated. This was a typical communist sham. All proceeds according to Maduro's plan.

There will be protesting in the streets today, I expect more deaths, more blaming of America for their problems and greater tyranny.

The Venezuelan state prosecutor's office said that it has opened an investigation into accusations that the National Election Council manipulated turnout figures in Sundays election for the National Constituent Assembly.

The new NCA convenes today, her investigation will not be allowed to continue. Maduro's socialist party has begun judicial proceeding to remove her from office. This may be the last anyone ever hears of Ms Ortega.

Will they blame Russsia, Trump, or both?

 

[Thor]

They will blame everyone but Maduro and socialism.

 

[Ericpwp]

That's not socialism. If they did it right...blah b blah.

Now the true persecution of the opposition can really get started. So long as the majority of the law enforcement and military remain loyal to the despot the citizens will pay for their not being fully on board; they thought going without toilet paper was bad...it's going to get much, much worse. Driving armored vehicles into the protestors is just a warm up.

This is the land Bernie would build.

Nothing in the news that I could find since May. Caterina has an instagram account that she seems to keep updated. From the instagram account she has pics of protests uploaded two days ago, and other nice images too.

She must have great dental insurance!

We will eventually get a "Bernie" as the snowflakes replace us.
Single payer would be a huge leap towards the socialists Utopia they seek.

The good news is, their lovely government is going to keep them from biting the dust by biting rabbits (that they have to raise themselves in order to not starve, and stuff).

 

[Thor]

Life there just continues to suck more there every day. I did like what the Trumpster said about it in the UN. This is the way socialism works.

 

[Leadeye]

Maybe the narcos will just buy the country cheap. Give them nation state status.

 

[Thor]

And a really good reason besides idiot socialist outcomes to take it over.

More nuttiness from the socialist leadership in Venezuela.

Wait.

A politician can distract from domestic issues by proclaiming that a foreign villain could attack at any minute?

Don't let non-socialist countries hear about that!

Perhaps better than a politician distracting from real issues by proclaiming there is no foreign villain.
