president Maduro captured after US strikes

[ANNEE]

Here's the question:

If his approval ratings have been consistently low, in both his terms of office, then how come he got elected, twice?

Could someone have found a way to game the US electoral system?

Trump has always said that it is open to being tampered with, and I'd agree with him on that. The whole electoral college electing the President screams out potential for corruption.

Definitely, some of the statistical analyses of the electoral results also have unexplainable things in them, but if so, whoever did it covered their tracks very well.

But it would be criminal to do that! Only a felo...

Oh.

Perhaps Trump and Maduro are alike in manipulating results to get elected?

Some credible facts are hard to know and/or prove. 

Jack Smith seems to think 2nd was a fraud election against Trump. 

But — gullible voters believing propaganda. Trump is a carnival barker — some people are easily manipulated.

I am not clouded by delusions.

This is too easy.

Don't overlook the fact that foreign dictatorships are trying to corner the market on some oil by rendering it unacceptable to the international market.

It could have been the plan all along.  I wonder if they investigated Hugo Chavez for foreign campaign contributions from Russia or China or interests connected to Russia or China?

I’ve always said: “He who controls the oil controls the world”. 

“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely,"

I’m not naive or gullible. Doesn’t mean I don’t want things to be different or see things differently.

So do you think the rest of the world should step in and protest or sanction a foreign power for tampering with an independent nation's oil?

The US, Canada, EU, Panama, Switzerland, Mexico, Curacoa, Uk...all have sanctions against Venezuela.  

Peru and Columbia have both banned Venezuelan citizens from entry.  

Who are you picking to go after all those countries?   It’s not just us.

Trumps is as sharp as a tack. Your blind hatred for him just doesn’t see it.  He may have other health problems we don’t know about but mentally he’s sharp.  

No, he isn't. Even in his last term of office Trump was showing symptoms of decline. That was more than 5 years ago. The symptoms have escalated, as they do.

Trump's doctors are giving him brain scans and cognitive tests at greater frequency than his scheduled ones.

He is bruising-up for no reason (and also is rarely filmed without extensive make-up, even at home or on the golf course).

He had a mini stroke on-camera, affecting his right hand side, and now is dragging his right foot and cannot walk straight. He has 'frozen-up' inappropriately on-camera several times.

He is falling asleep in meetings while he is being directly spoken to.

He can barely complete a sentence and cannot stay on topic. His recent diatribes make no consistent sense. He looses his train of thought and brings up irrelevant topics before even finishing the first. It's like he is heckling his own speeches.

Your team

I am not on any team.

When you are replying to me, please assume you are conversing only with me. I can assure you, I'm the only one typing on my keyboard.

was still defending Biden when he was on stage shaking hands with imaginary people and got lost coming off the stage.   He couldn’t even put a coherent sentence together but y’all still defended him as mentally fit.  Make it make sense.

I was also concerned about Biden, five or six years ago, with signs that he might be unfit for a Presidential role.

In hindsight, however, Biden carried out the role through that term of office without major issue and the economy did begin to recover after the losses of the pandemic.

This does not mean that everyone else is forever unable to be incapacitated by cognitive decline.

The us-vs-them argument is childishly silly and beside the point.

Trump is currently as sharp as a planet.

Why are those countries sanctioning Venezuela?

Can it be because foreign cash or election interference deliberately got a regime elected and then instructed the regime to render Venezuelan oil unacceptable to the world market?  

The US may have in fact prevented foreign interests from manipulating the price of Venezuela's oil.

Exactly!!!!!

Me being anti-Trump for whatever reason. 

Does not make me anything else.

The rest of the world is free to play whatever games they wish to win whatever prizes they earn. I'm not sure what you are crowing about but I support what the United States did and I hope they do it some more.

That's the thing.

Right there.

You just admitted it.

Bravo.

You're anti-Trump.

SO are all the leftists.

Every leftist is anti-Trump.  That's clear.

But what are you FOR?

Are you FOR the Venezuelan people?
Are you FOR freedom?
Are you FOR individual rights?

Thank you for your thoughts. 

You can put them back in your head now. 

Your thinking is not my thinking.
