The following is AI’s synopsis of Maduro when querying the worst dictators of 2025:
Nicolás Maduro (Venezuela): Maduro has engineered a system to "future-proof" his autocratic rule by dismantling institutional checks and balances, despite widespread societal discontent.
Sound familiar?

Since it is clear that the 25th amendment will not be enacted, if people with basic human decency ever regain power, can we look into expanding it to apply to the entire regime?
Trump's gestures today seem increasingly pointless.

Seriously posted yesterday! Are we still talking about Tylenol?
No, we are talking about Jeffrey Epstein and Trump’s degree of complicity.

I’m not a stable genius, but anyone that did not see the Emperor’s New Clothes analogy within minutes of his slithering down the golden escalator may need a cognitive exam.
Emperor is naked but the fanatic followers of his cult don't see it! and, of course, enablers know it but ignore it...

Wait, add in student loans and you probably need to push that back by at least a decade.
They’re now pushing ten year car loans and fifty year mortgages. Say you buy a car at 20 and a house at 30. You’ll probably have them paid off by the time you’re 80.

First, get oil companies to pay income tax period. Many, including Chevron (who may really end up “running Venezuela”) have paid zero in income tax over one or more of the past years.
Can we please have Trump’s plan to have taxpayers reimburse oil companies for their costs in Venezuela put in an appropriations bill so representatives of the people can vote on the record whether they support that like the Founders intended? Congress still exists, right?

Ewww, and he stands for a “Canada First” platform. Welcome to the Axis of Evil 2.0.

🔴 I'll say it till I'm blue in the face: the mental underling, Poilievre, is severely UNFIT to be Prime Minister of a great country such as Canada. 🤷🏻♂️

Congress needs to stop this Bond villain President now!
“Cuba looks like it is ready to fall.” After U.S. forces captured Venezuela’s leader, President Trump said that Cuba’s days were numbered and that his administration may turn its sights on the island nation next.
After Venezuela, Trump Says Cuba Is ‘Ready to Fall’
The capture of Nicolás Maduro is a devastating blow to the alliance between Venezuela and Cuba. Many wonder if the island nation will be targeted next.

Would so like to comment “unbelievable,” but it is documented fact.
This regime will lie, cheat, steal, fire, injure, and kill to line their pockets.
