Whatever happened to Juan Guaidó? I guess he lives in Florida now?
The US has ONLY other Countries interests and Constituents at Heart and we can DEFINITELY TRUST the United States Government!
I recognize Jeb! Bush as the winner of the US presidential election
- Please clap
What about Guaido, they never renounced him so they support two would be usurpers at the same time now? Coupception or what?
- Two guanos enter the presidential palace, only one leaves alive.
US really wants that oil
There have been calls for the opposition to provide their "evidence" of electoral fraud, but they won't, because it doesn't exist. Of course, the western media skips over this entirely and immediately places the burden of evidence on Maduro's party. Guilty until proven innocent is an important Amerikkkan value, after all.
Lol, LMao even
The NLG (a group of based anti-imperialist lawyers in the US) sent observers for this one, and here are their findings.
- What WERE their findings though? I read that link and 80% of it was talking about the "history of Venezuela’s elections"
  Only relevant bit was 5 people went to a few poling stations each and they didn't see anything odd and people seemed to be happy to vote. I didn't see them claim to have done anything that could be considered proving the elections were fair one way or another, other than no obvious fraud at the polling stations themselves.
  
  It seems that their findings are that the election appeared fair and the official results appeared accurate. The second paragraph has the official results, and then the rest of it describes solid electoral processes to back that up.
  I feel like I need to know more about this group before deciding on the accuracy of their opinion.
