We're always born under the wrong sign, and to live in this world with dignity means to correct our own horoscope day by day.

–Umberto Eco

Twitter Refugee. Who dis?
I can't believe they had to say that publicly.

The IRGC is the model for Trump's DHS.

Are you aware of any coverage of what happened in that meeting?

Was it open press? Were there any trump comments?
January 15, 2026 at 11:05 PM
That's Rob. Bob's in prison.

She WAS it.
But she just threw the whole thing in the garbage.
January 15, 2026 at 10:44 PM
I have to say I'm speechless.

I know that woman, and how hard she has worked for the return of democracy in Venezuela during the last two decades.

And all that hard work thrown in the garbage, along with her self-respect. Trump is gonna treat her like garbage now.
January 15, 2026 at 10:44 PM
Holy crap. That damn speech.

That woman is saying Donald Fucking Trump is Washington's heir.

I just can't.

3) Machado disgraces herself by "presenting" Trump with a prize she got for resisting the same authoritarian garbage Trump is trying to inflict on America.

4) Trump is so moved by the gesture that he didn't even made a joint declaration. Not a tweet, a picture together.
Machado walks out alone.

That was in the plan from the start.

Erik Prince and his mercenaries weren't gonna be left out of that deal. There's a ton of money to be made, re-made, laundered and trafficked in and outside Venezuela.

There is a strong possibility she came up with that idea all on her own. She thought that kind of flattery would turn him into a supporter, and she could not be more wrong.

Flattery works for trump only when it comes from those who have the kind of power he really wants.
January 15, 2026 at 10:11 PM
That woman is gonna get steamrolled so bad... All that work for nothing.

What she doesn't understand is that she's sucking up to a psychopath who will now humiliate her forever. Flattery only works with trump when it's from people he considers better than him.
January 15, 2026 at 9:57 PM
That's trump's legacy. Right there.
January 15, 2026 at 9:44 PM
And I think that ghoul is a charlatan.
January 15, 2026 at 7:47 PM
Whatever that ghoul is thinking, it's not gonna go well in NYC.
January 15, 2026 at 7:29 PM
Damn it.

They finally got their filthy paws on Wikipedia.
January 15, 2026 at 7:25 PM
So what's the idea?

To keep them stupid, so they come out of prison ready to commit crimes again?
January 15, 2026 at 7:22 PM
Those aren't hair extensions. That's a couple of wigs tied up to her head.
January 15, 2026 at 4:52 PM
I'm trying to make sense of that garbage, and I can't.
January 15, 2026 at 2:33 PM
At least those robber barons left libraries, museums, cultural institutions. Something the public could use.

These creeps will sell us access to slavery.
January 15, 2026 at 2:32 PM
Certainly not under budget...
