‘The bad luck is staggering.’

Sorta like what Vin Scully said, the other team always happens to have a bad day at the plate when Bob Gibson is pitching.

I guess the high jacked petroleum industry is no longer able to finance Hugo’s vote buying machine.

I wish Hugo were still alive and in charge. Let him deal with the mess he created. This would eat him up.

The correct approach is to stop buying Venezuelan oil, and close the refinery in (I believe) US Virgin Islands that processes their sh***y crude.

Socialism! It's like one big happy dance until you run out of other people's money, tovarisch!

And then it's "mountain of skulls" time...

Lets not forget that Chavez and Maduro were elected by demented imbeciles who were enfranchised.

The lesson being that when you enfranchise demented imbeciles, bad things WILL happen.

Like HUSSEIN OBAMA.

Universal Suffrage must end.
