... fight corruption and economic sabotage.

Preparing the stage for Soviet style show trials. If I worked at that toilet paper factory he seized, I would be s***ing bricks right about now. Economic sabotage is punishable by death.

Yeah, Maduro sure is a dumbass, what kind of communist is he?.

You don't play the "Special Powers" card unless its to mass murder thousands of civilians.

Last POTUS to do that was Lincoln.

Permission?

Barackus Halfricanus just issues imperial edicts. He don’t need no stinkin’ permission.

Only lightweight dictators ask for permission.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has asked Congress to give him special decree-making powers that he says he needs to fight corruption and economic sabotage.

I know, they can call it the "Enabling Act."
