And now, a barrio revolt is unfolding ...
An old truism in politics is that if the win is big enough, the other guy can't steal it.
Venezuela's latest election just put paid to that nonsense. Any filthy tyrant, especially a socialist with a lot to hide and a will to entrench himself in permanent power, can steal an election ... right in front of his voters' faces.
And in the case of Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela, be perfectly confident that he'll always get away with it. The opposition will be told to accept the result and go prepare for the next election six years from now. The West will wring its hands a bit, and just go along. Venezuelans have seen this movie before.
Which is why Joe Biden's decision to drop sanctions on Venezuela in exchange for "free and fair elections" was such a disgusting deal, empowering the Maduroites to steal themselves another election, and enjoy the newly freed-up money, which included buying guns to fire into crowds, and then taking out the opposition afterwards through lawfare. That's what Maduro is doing now.
Quite a steal for Maduro, and in more ways than one.
The hopes were so high, the polls were so strong, and the opposition candidate, Maria Corina Machado, (along with her designated surrogate after she was disqualified from running, Edmundo González), was so spotless, that the only question left in this election was how Maduro was going to get out of this one. He was going to lose; the crowds were out there, the slums had turned against him, the Venezuelans were rallying for Machado, and the polls were scarily unified showing gargantuan majorities in support of her and González.
Every dirty trick in the book was tried -- from disqualifying Machado,

If the military turns on Maduro...AND THEY SHOULD...it’s goodbye Nick.
THAT WOULD BE THE GREATEST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN AND IT WOULD BE A PLAN THAT THE USA COULD USE IN CASE OF GIANT FRAUD.
“Is this the same song we’ll be singing come November.??”
Yes, it will be.
While I respect and read the comments by people such as our own ‘LS’, who is truly a knowledgeable patriotic American, I don’t think they understand the in-your-face acts the left will use to keep power. They claim Trump has more votes than they can steal, but that was using last election’s theft plan.
The left has new plans they are going to use. Also, they did steal the elections while we watched and did nothing. They literally kept Republicans out of counting rooms, covered the windows to do their cheating, and brought in boxes, suitcases, and bags of phony ballots to count. We did nothing. No one got killed, no one got even punched in the face, and the left will take advantage of our morale high ground approach.
We play by Queensberry rules and play fair, while the left plays by schoolyard rules and punch below the belt.
Our elections are just as corrupt. But we have not been disarmed yet.
When you see gold bars being loaded onto a plane, that’s a sign Maduro is getting ready to issue his no mas statement and get out of Dodge. Seems to be a recurring theme in Banana Republic democracies after the election steal thing falls flat.

This is a classic commie Xiden example, first have Maduro empty the Venezuelans prisons and send those criminals over our open borders along with our tax dollars funding NGOs’ to do so. And of course these animals are already raping, killing, stealing and forming their own gangs here.
Good point. They are trying to disarm us though.
Camela loves the results.
That's a shame.
Let’s see what the people do. Hopefully something that will give us inspiration.
Sounds familiar doesn’t it?! Does 2020 ring a bell? We haven’t seen nothing yet!
It is why our military has been radicalized. Next it will be filled with illegal immigrants with no loyalty to US citizens.
” Next it will be filled with illegal immigrants with no loyalty to US citizens.”
They are certainly doing that right now. They just don’t call them “illegal aliens”. They give them papers that say they are legally here.

Peaceful protests won’t create change in VZ. They’ve peacefully protested for 20 yrs.
The people are going to have to do the Ceausescu.
Venezuela can go to hell.
They voted for Hugo Chavez, knowing full well that his regime would become a communist dictatorship. Now they are stuck with the misery and deprivation.
This should be a lesson for everyone in the world to NEVER elect a communist, NEVER! Or else suffer the consequences. The only good communist is a dead communist. /spit
Well, the crowds DEFINITELY shouldn’t bring or use guns.
THAT would only give Mudoro reason to be even more of a bad guy.
No. Everyone should always cower, lay back and ‘take it’ in the face of oppression. (/s)
Anytime there is a mass foreign protest I always wonder if CIA is involved.they have a history of it.
