People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Drumpf's finished!
Stephen Colbert, during last night’s show, invited The New Yorker’s editor to unveil the magazine’s next cover — a satirical illustration of Trump’s tiny hand hovering over the mute button of a remote control, a not-so-subtle jab at his obsession with silencing critics.
