Trump took a question about Machado, and seemed to prefer Maduro's VP. WTF??

When they have their election, will the people voting accept the results? Or will they be hearing what Americans heard in 2020?

 

[Marener]

Non-violent drug offenders/dealers are pardoned all the time.

So I guess you would also defend pardoning Maduro too.

 

[Marener]

Oil Companies and governments. They have them in countries all over the world,

Trump runs Venezuela now.

 

[Darkwind]

I didn't vote for 'my' representative.

I didn't either, which is why I don't write them.

I suppose he could write the Dept. of Justice, but it is unlikely he'll get a response.

How the mighty have fallen

 

[AntonToo]

Trump just freed an entire country

Freed? He said he will run the place.

Do you at all have a head of your own?

 

[Concerned American]

I'm 38, and I know enough, madam.

It was a surgical strike. I doubt Trump wants to engage in nation building.

Think Miguel Noriega and Panama.

Fast and effective. If true.

 

[dblack]

Trump runs Venezuela now.

He should move there and build a big mansion.

I thought this would be a SEALs operation but Delta Force captured him.

Maduro captured by US Army's elite Delta Force unit

The US Army's most elite unit was involved in the capture of Maduro and his wife Cilia, it was revealed on Saturday.

They need to learn. FAFO.

Works both ways. Most Americans have not learned that part.

Yeah, that surprised me as well. I had thought he was 100% in support of her, but apparently he isn't. In the coming days, maybe he'll walk those comments back, or clarify whether he supports her or not.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

That's a ridiculous statement.
There is more reason to believe Trump supporters are bad at math. They believe prices are coming down 1000%. And Trump believes that's possible.
Unless you can say that's not possible, you are bad at math.

It's true. Now you should whine some more.

No Maduro is charged with narco-terrorism and weapons charges......definitely not non-violent.

Speaking to Fox News, President Trump declined to throw his support behind Maria Corina Machado, the Venezuelan opposition leader who recently won the Nobel Peace Prize.

“Well, we have to look at it right now,” he said on Fox News when asked if he will support her. “They have a vice president, as you know. I mean, I don’t know about what kind of an election that was, but, you know, the election of Maduro was a disgrace.”

Awesome. trump gets to decide who the next leader is? Maybe Eric could spare some time away from making corrupt crypto and real estate deals long enough to take over and send some Venezuelan oil our way.

Because he doesn't give a shit about international law and democratic priciples, he wants to run the place, not leave it to up to the people of Vanezuala, who god forbid may want to do something he doesn't like.

 

[Meathead]

But the Illegal Alien Importation Infrastructure remains untouched and the principal architects remain unpunished.

"Untouched"? Hell, it's gone along with Biden and his handlers.

 

[Nostra]

Trump never provided facts to support his rationale.

Moroner lies.

 

[berg80]

How the other court martials working out for you?

While the regime is in control one must temper expectations on what ordinarily would happen and what will happen.

No Maduro is charged with narco-terrorism and weapons charges......definitely not non-violent.

No different than what the former president of Honduras did.

Adelys Ferro, co-founder of the Venezuelan-American Caucus, a grassroots group representing Venezuelans in the United States, said asylum petitions and immigration proceedings for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans remain suspended. For them, the situation is particularly fraught. They have tried to prove that they have been targets of the Maduro regime in U.S. immigration courts, she said, but at the same time, the Trump administration has cast them as criminals and lawbreakers who should be deported.

“We are victims of the Nicolás Maduro regime, but we are also victims of the Trump administration policies,” she said.

[toobfreak]

Trump is now on Truth Social saying Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro has been captured and flown out of the country, along with his wife. This is a major development and frees up Venezuela to have a free and fair democratic election.

Our forces swooped in with 150 aircraft 100 feet above the surface, backed down all of the local defense forces in place with not a single craft lost, and took the country over and Maduro and his wife captured in literally 15 minutes.
