Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

The enduring lesson of Jan 6th is that there is no bottom to current reality. It proved that the most heinous treasonous acts had no consequences.

This is right, of course. And, imagine if a suspected criminal was sitting in a US city - we would never think it acceptable to kill 80 people to capture that suspected criminal. This only works if you think Venezuelan lives do not deserve the same respect as American lives.
A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.
