This is how Obama wanted to leave us, but the Constitution prevented him from making “progress” as quickly as he wanted to. And Patriots prevented his white queen from giving us four more years of his idiotic ideology via his pen and his phone.

Please, can’t the Hollywood elites move here and enjoy the fruits of socialism that they praise and desire?

A word of caution, bring some TP.

Or they could simply open the doors of their seaside estates for all comers, homeless, illegals, murderers, rapists, members of the blm, etc.

I am sure they would be met with open arms and bowls of food and drink.

Might even throw in a wall or two for them to pee up next to.

With all the stench and utterly failed results of ‘hero worship socialism’ and of hated Maduro still ensconced in power Venezuela is trapped in its mess. Its more of a dictatorship now like mother Cuba.
