I’m sure lizard is available, and probably finds a good market.

What happened to the Big mustachioed Stump’s idea of the people raising rabbits for meat? Venezuela is inverted Castroism in further decline.

I’m putting a Bone In Rib Roast in the Oven as I read this.

Got it on sale for $4.47 a Pound. Yum yum.

It sucks when you succeed in turning your Country into a Socialist Paradise like Hillary would have done here.

Kinda funny though since I remember reading they had eaten almost all the dogs and everything at the zoo too.

I can believe they are eating lizards.

GEE!!!!!!!!!!!!How OLD-fashioned of me.

Why would I even think that maybe Venezuela or the ‘guilty’ country should be in the ‘headline’?

Of course one can get more ‘hits’ if others look at it and say no way, I will have to check this out...

Sounds like a good opportunity for someone with access to a pantload full of mall pet store iguanas.

Tape em to your legs, sneak across a few borders headed south and undercut the market with fresh lizard.

Then buy bitcoins.

I’m sure I can buy rice and eggs here in Richmond, VA much cheaper than in Venezuela. Like 1/3 the price, I’ve looked. Clean air-conditioned/heated store, no waiting lines.

Not unlike Walter Duranty who waxed the “joys” and beauty of Bolshevism and communism with the plump and chubby faces of the little Ukrainian children in the cozy beautiful villages, a distorted view, plastered all over the NY Times. Little did the American’s know of the intentional mass starvation of 30 million people in the “utopian” USSR, as directed by the propaganda from Moscow and the Rothschild cabal from the mouth of Duranty. Even Roosevelt’s charming quips about Uncle Joe were part of the propaganda, used intentionally by our “free” press to control our perceptions of socialism and communism and flip good and evil.

I don’t think they ever stripped the lying, evil, controlled Duranty of his Pulizer.

I’m not encouraging more illegals - just making an observation.

Uncle Bernie is so, so, cray-cray crazy I don’t think he would have gotten enough votes like the Hildabeast almost did.

But yes, had he gotten in power.........

“Obama should go there to accelerate the struggle to reach commie paradise.”

Moosechelle nixed that. No big burgers with tons of fries and a shake to wash it down with at trendy restaurants.

Very famous visit (in Texas, I think). It was in the last days of Communism there - he visited an American supermarket and was amazed.

Of course he was told that it was a PR stunt - to stock up the store just before he visited.

Funny thing is that we keep doing that ‘stunt’, at least every time I go to a supermarket - must be a lot of Russians roaming the country, needing to be tricked.

20-25 years ago, a friend somehow got on the list of *hosts* for some delegation or other of Soviets. I don’t recall the entire scenario.

We are in a very rural area of small villages and farms. In the course of a tour, they visited the local supermarket, a small, sole-proprietorship at the time, nothing like a big supermarket in a large city. The soviets were impressed, but skeptical. They assumed it was Potemkin. So, our friend handed them a map and told them to pick anywhere at all. They did and he drove them to a succession of stores.

As I recall the tale, they were very quiet after that.
