Take the environmental assessment. Those are EXQUISITE ways to stop things. I know, from my housing activism, but they can kill almost anything. (the ICE everglades facility is a good recent example). This one proceeded apace for a full 1.5 years under Biden. If this is bad, they're both to blame.

I have some faith that she, unlike Aung San Suu Kyi, won't do a literal genocide on Venezuelan minority groups.

I stand corrected about the timeline. But if this is so corrupt, why didn't the Biden Administration try to do something about it? Why didn't he or the congressional Democrats make a stink about it? There are lots of ways to administrations to change things that have long processes.

I’m not shilling for Trump. Anybody who wants to challenge our Gulf connections but only the Trump half of that is fundamentally unserious.

I should also mention that Biden sent a ton of weapons to Saudi Arabia. The issue is that our close ties with the Gulf are extremely useful for our fanatical support of Israel. It goes hand in hand.

I personally think she would be substantially better than Maduro. But she shouldn't have gotten the prize (her defending the boat bombings is a categorical disqualifier), and anti-Trump progressives should know who she truly is before gushing that "Trump got spanked" or w/e.

Eh, the Azov crew are nearly all dead, though.

I feel SO vindicated. I love it so much. I hated her before it was cool. Yet another reminder that someone being crushingly unpleasant is never ever ever ever praiseworthy no matter identity or politics. Such a person WILL do evil at some point.

That's more standard brown-nosing, sadly. But as we all agree, Zelensky didn't pal around with radical right-wingers, and didn't endorse Trump murdering Ukranians.

I'm not saying she's _good_, and she definitely shouldn't have gotten the prize. I'm just making a utilitarian argument that Maduro's a lot worse.
