"For us, this is a very happy day when we see a dictator who has been part of oppressing and abusing the Venezuelan people for 25 years, when we see him in handcuffs..."

"... and held to some sort of accountability, it brought me to tears. It brought me great joy.... I think you can still celebrate that this murderous, corrupt, sadistic son of a bitch is out of Venezuela....”

There's also this from Navarro:

Everyone is conservative when it effects their life.

Well, if it makes her happy. I guess it was OK.

RCOCEAN II said...

And can people stop lying about someone being a "dictator". Dictators don't hold elections and win them. Maduro won in 2024 and 2018 after first getting elected in 2013. Oh but he cheated. Right, you mean like 2020. Or chicago under Daley. Or South Texas under LBJ.

RCOCEAN II said...

Neither is Putin a "dictator". He holds and wins elections. And he has a parliment with opposition powers.

Eva Marie said...

In 2024 “the opposition released tally sheets from over 80% of polling stations showing González won by a landslide (~67% to ~30%). Independent analyses (e.g., by the Carter Center, Associated Press, and others) verified the opposition’s data as authentic, while the government provided no detailed tallies.” (Grok)

I'm not seeing your point.

narciso said...

Then you have the matter of those 150 students killed by the regime in 2018-9

She not on board with "how it was done". She would have preferred a blood bath, I guess.

narciso said...

Correction about 1500 students scaled up

Broken clocks right twice a day, ya know.

I'm glad that Trump did something that made her happy. As far as "the way it was done," how did she THINK it was going to happen? Oh. Wait. There's thinking involved.

It’s smart for Democrats to aggressively denounce Maduro. They can’t afford to support him and support the Minnesota/WA fraudsters too. And this means that Maduro can’t be the high status victim, the vocal regular old Venezuelans have priority, so the New York jury must convict him, but will let his wife off.

"As far as "the way it was done," how did she THINK it was going to happen?"

Getting everyone together to agree on a consensus solution with each party having an opportunity to have their input validated and ensuring that nobody ended up with hurt feelings, no doubt.

Josephbleau said...

It’s possible that Maduro could be flipped and spill on the murder torture and election fraud, I don’t care if they let them go to Moscow if they give up some good intelligence.

As I recall, Saddam Hussein also held elections, receiving ~100% of the vote at least twice, with almost 100% voter participation. Dictator? No fraud was ever proven...

Tell me something. Why, in WW2, when we were attacked by Japan did we declare war on Germany and then send England all of our war materiel? Also. Why was the first country the United States invaded in WW2 Algeria?

buwaya said...

Germany declared war on the US first on Dec 11 1941
The US declared war on Germany a few hours later.
The US didnt send ALL its war materiel, it had been supplying Britain since 1939 under one scheme or another.
The US first deployed troops abroad, to Iceland, July 1941
Algeria (and Morocco and Tunisia) were French North Africa, under the control of Vichy France. The Allies deceided to seize it (Operation Torch) in order to secure free passage through the Mediterranean, in part by trapping Axis forces in Africa. These (@250,000-300,000 men) eventually surrendered in Tunisia, 13 May 1943
