Nobody is disturbed by that. Its time you right-wing nuts stopped your lying.

Democrats are concerned about the legality of this, the fact that Trump has said we are going to run another country, and the apparent lack of a long-term plan.

This is an illegal action, you stupid moronic idiots!

Maduro was indicted yrs ago .. now the criminal cartel leader has been brought in ..

Indictments and Charges
While Maduro was originally indicted in 2020, a new sealed superseding indictment was unsealed on January 3, 2026, which added his wife and son to the case.

Democrats Confused Why Venezuelans Cheering Downfall Of Nice, Warm Collectivism​

World·Jan 3, 2026 · BabylonBee.com

U.S. — Bewildered Democrats watched in utter confusion today as Venezuelans cheered the downfall of warm, cozy collectivism.

With longtime communist dictator Nicolas Maduro being deposed overnight, Venezuelans have taken to the streets in tearful celebration, baffling liberals.

"What's wrong with these people?" asked liberal Stauncey Billups, watching the festivities. "How can they be happy at a time like this, with their dear, sweet collectivism being ripped away? They must not understand how good they've had it, being free of rugged individualism. The fools!"

Democrats have posed several theories, including perhaps that Venezuela had failed to try real collectivism. "Maybe they just didn't do it right," said longtime Democrat Jason Barrington. "I don't get it, they're going to lose all that free housing, daycare, healthcare, everything. All the joys of collectivism are going away, yet they're cheering. It just doesn't make sense."

At publishing time, Democrats had begun an initiative to help Venezuelans immigrate to North Korea to get back into collectivism's warm embrace.

Libs are always perplexed by this kind of thing.

When i was young man in the 70's and 80's, libs always proclaimed as a matter of irrefutable truth, that the people of central and eastern Europe , from Poland, Hungary , East Germany, etc., all loved Tyranny just like Americans loved freedom.

When the veil was ripped down and the Berlin Wall was torn down none of those countries decided to remain under Ultra Liberal Dictatorship. They didn't like to eat garbage and being told what to do all of the time.

Ditto with Venezuela and the Venezuelans. They prefer freedom to Tyranny as well.

Didn't shock me, but the libs will never figure it out.
