Members stevenkesslar Posted 21 hours ago Members Posted 21 hours ago Poor piece of shit Trump! His narcissism must be off the charts. A woman who won his fucking Nobel Peace Prize can explain Important Stuff and inspire people in ways he can't. How fucked up is that? Although if this Trumper Politico interviewed is right, addled or senile Trump doesn't even really understand who Maria Corina Machado is. This is not me calling Trump addled and confused. This is an expert from Trump 1.0's Administration saying Trump is confused. Quote Speaking of the opposition, the president did not offer the most glowing words about Maria Corina Machado. He essentially insinuated that she didn’t have the gravitas to potentially lead the country. Do you agree with that assessment? It seems to me that President Trump may have confused Delcy Rodriguez, who I would describe as not having the respect or support of the people, with Maria Corina Machado, who probably does. Poor piece of shit Trump! What a confused mess the poor man is. Although he and his billionaire tax cut donors are hardly poor. Oil, anyone? It's way better than Obamacare! Here are the actual words of Maria Corina Machado. Maybe Little Marco can help guide Trump through what the words mean. In English, of course. (Spoiler: she does not want the US to "run" Venezuela.) María Corina Machado's letter to Venezuelans Venezuelans, The time for freedom has come! Nicolás Maduro from today will face international justice for the atrocious crimes committed against Venezuelans and against citizens of many other nations. Given his refusal to accept a negotiated solution, the United States government has fulfilled its promise to enforce the law. The time has come for popular sovereignty and national sovereignty to prevail in our country. We are going to restore order, release the political prisoners, build an exceptional country, and bring our children back home. We have fought for years, we have given it our all, and it has been worth it. What was meant to happen is happening. This is the hour of the citizens. Those of us who risked everything for democracy on June 28th. Those of us who elected Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia as the legitimate President of Venezuela, who must immediately assume his constitutional mandate and be recognized as Commander-in-Chief of the National Armed Forces by all the officers and soldiers who comprise it. Today we are ready to assert our mandate and take power. Let us remain vigilant, active, and organized until the democratic transition is complete. A transition that needs ALL of us. To the Venezuelans who are currently in our country, be ready to put into action what we will be communicating to you very soon through our official channels. To Venezuelans abroad, we need you to be mobilized, engaging the governments and citizens of the world and committing them from now on to the great operation of building the new Venezuela. In these crucial hours, receive all my strength, my confidence, and my affection. We remain vigilant and in contact. VENEZUELA WILL BE FREE! We go hand in hand with God, until the end. Hate to be the asshole to say it. But I think the world just learned why she got the Nobel. And piece of shit Trump didn't. Now can someone please tell the piece of shit he was NOT elected to "run" Venezuela? Quote

The short term plan is to distract from all the Mad King's failings at home in the USA. stevenkesslar 1 Quote

The odds that the Mad King is going to have Maduro transferred to the International Criminal Court in The Hague - zero. More likely, there will be some sort of military tribunal where the Mad King will attempt to have maximum political influence on the process and outcome. Is there anyone out there who doesn't believe that it would be the fever dream of this Mad King to have a public hanging in his new ballroom? stevenkesslar 1 Quote

He said yesterday “she’s essentially willing to do what we think is necessary to make Venezuela great again.” Right around the same time he didn't know who Machado was or confused her or what not. I mean, no one is perfect. But obviously if Trump and Hegseth are in the lead there is a brilliant plan. I'd say a 12 out of 10 plan. Or an A+++++++++ plan. Right, Sis? Right? The deeply sick and cruel and fucked up thing about this is everyone in the world, and especially in Venezuela, has been pushing hard to get rid of the Venezuela regime. I'm hoping it works. But Trump is seemingly doing everything he can to organize his opposition and fuck it up. Including by confusing even his allies. (Assuming he has allies, after insulting and/or threatening all our allies while he organizes mutually reciprocal job destruction.) He is either senile or incredibly fucking stupid. What a horrific piece of shit. I take back the idea that W. was worse than Trump, thanks to Iraq. Now this piece of shit is worse. Quote

Or the dumbest cowboy POTUS we have ever had. It really does take work to make George W. Bush and Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld look like master strategists. But Trump may have done it. As always, Politico is doing a masterful job of reporting on breaking news. This piece that asks lots of experts to weigh in is particularly helpful. If there is any consensus yet, it is that nobody knows how this is going to turn out. The sad thing is that what would weaken China and Russia the most is a thunderous and successful return of democratic capitalism and prosperity to Venezuela. Which is possible, and desirable. And it is what Trump seems to care about least. He did not mention "democracy" in his press conference. "Oil" flowed easily off his lips. As you note, Sis, as in, "it's ours." So the other main outcome Politico's panel describes is that this will piss off most allies and enemies alike. And it could backfire, helping Russia and China. Several experts, including conservative ones, are saying Ukraine and Taiwan should be very afraid. Wouldn't it be ironic if we add Venezuela to Afghanistan and Iraq as losing exercises in US regime change, even as we lay the groundwork for China's regime change in Taiwan? Or any other Asian nation. Sadly for the piece of shit dumb fuck, the same is true with the oil riches he so badly wants. A true businessman, if Trump were one, would understand - well, business. What that Politico article says is what I have now heard again and again by any expert talking about oil. Commercial development of oil in Venezuela will takes years even under the best of circumstances. And the best of circumstances depend on long-term stability. Which is exactly what Trump, being Trump, can not offer. In fact, he is offering confusion and doubt. Trump already set the tone. The new leader and Maduro-lackey of Venezuela will work with us. We don't need that Nobel Prize Democracy Woman, whatever her name is. I know better. If this other lackey won't be my lackey, we'll take her out, too. What a piece of shit. Trump brings chaos wherever he goes. Quote
