    5436.jpg 2848.jpg Should Trump cut all aid to other countries that don't serve America's interest in other words those that are a complete drain like Honduras and so many others and instead allocate those funds to Venezuela on condtion that the US will heip overthrow Maduro and help fund the cost of illegals if they agree to take all that are invading our border including those already here?

    Who cares about the political follies of the past?
    We are in a new era. The old ideas will kill us if we let them.
    Everything we have been doing is wrong, to paraphrase Firesign.

    You don't care about learning about the political folly that killed over 100 million in the last century?

    You want US to take over that mess? No Thanks! If we want to rebuild some hell holes, we can rebuild our Democrat Inner Cities.

    VENEZUELA: SOCIALISM DIES IN THE DARKNESS.

    Democrats used to explain away murderous Communists by describing them as “liberals in a hurry.” Think of Venezuela’s miseries as a preview of AOC’s Green New Deal running in fast-forward mode.

    Just a thought ....If we can't get this LIBERAL funded invasion at the southern border under control, this country will be gone after 2020. My guess it would be safer for the country and cheaper to support all of them in Venezuela rather than allow them to stay in the US and be a forever drain on taxpayers.

    Of course the best way would be to close the loopholes such as catch and release, anchor baby laws, sanctuaries harboring them etc., and give them a one way bus ticket back to where the came from, but given how corrupt the democrats have become and the unbelievable power they've amassed, that will never happen.

    Make no mistake, the dems plan to use all these illegals to help them STEAL all future elections going forward which is why they push early voting, are issuing them ID'S, and harboring them in sanc cities. With early voting, they can keep each of them cranking out stacks of ballots all the way up to election day.

    The wimpy foggy headed GOP are as usual clueless and running two decades behind them not seeing this is really about stealing elections so they can turn the US into a socialist country.

    This is one bad thing about Socialism. A country simply does not try it and go back when it fails. Giving the government power like this only leads to death and destruction. A government that has power like this does not easily give it up.

    Yeah, my post earlier was to relay my thoughts why I think maybe we should try to strike a deal (temporary) so that we can keep the dems from using illegals to steal our elections which is clearly their intent.

    Since they're advocating hard for socialism which is obvious by the programs they're pushing, the US should maybe make a deal with Juan Guaido that the US would help overthrow Maduro and turn his assets over to him along with help from us and the international committee for a few years and return Venezuela to a capitalist nation. But the deal should include an agreement that he takes all illegals from south America invading our country and those already here.

    I figure we're already supporting them, so it would probably be cheaper to send them all there. At the very least the corrupt dems wouldn't be able to use them for their votes to steal elections.

    I understand the desire and it makes sense on many levels, but I think it will just shift the focus to us. Then they will claim that we made this mess. I think we can assist neighboring South American Countries deal with this humanitarian crisis, but we have our own messes to fix, right here in our Democrat Run Inner City Hell Holes.

    Trump getting wrapped up in a war of choice I think would stall his entire agenda.

    I oppose sanctions except where a state of war has been formally declared.

    Over 80 percent of their power comes from one hydro electric dam.

    Its summer there, and the frozen food a few have has spoiled.

    Pray for Venezuela. I saw a report the other day from a guy who said they were right on the edge of cannibalism, and he wasn't speaking figuratively.

    Money isn't worth the paper it's printed on...inflation is so high it would cost millions just fir a family supper. Toobad theyno longer have guns to fight back. But all's not lost, Maduro is still fat and sassy enough to dance in the street.

    Yup, at least they actually have toilet paper now though, those dolla bills.

    In that sense, socialism delivered.
