Wait…
How was Maduro, and his wife, “captured” so easily by US special forces and led out of the country?
This smells like a covert operation to remove him, possibly for a pardon by Trump.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Maduro shows up at Mar a lago today.

I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.
It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

Trump keeps bragging about passing 3 separate cognitive tests last year.
Let’s see him try to pass 3 separate polygraph tests regarding him and Epstein.

That’s a nearly 13% increase in one year alone. I don’t know of any country’s economy that can sustain that kind of increase without detrimental effects to the economy.

The idea that the Trump administration would assist the foreign founders of an illegally funded media outlet aimed at reaching American audiences with Russian propaganda might seem outlandish.

Without immigrants the country wouldn’t be able to function, the 1% however, could take the first rocket to Mars; they wouldn’t be missed at all.
Immigrants are not the reason there’s a housing crisis.
They’re not the reason ERs are full and people don’t have healthcare.
They’re not the reason food is so expensive.
They’re the scapegoat.
As long as you blame immigrants, you won’t realize the 1% are taking everything.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

I have read transcripts of Trump raping girls, stories of him murdering a young girl’s baby to keep things quiet, and stories of blowing the head off a victim who could identify him in a rape charge.
This is more than we could ever imagine of a President, let alone a compassionate human being.
