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,

Venezuela 2024, USA 2020 what’s the big difference??
Actually, we are.
Just not as far along.
1oo million votas?
Spot on..
I've always believed that you should never go to war with anyone that you don't absolutely hate. I think we're almost there...
They did the same darned thing just before the DNC stole the 2020 election — using the same tricks. Who expected anything different?
Time to invade Guyana, to move the news past this.
This is a picture postcard of what you can expect on November 5th if the election is allowed to go forward. Nothing has changed since 2020. Do not expect a different outcome.
Trump is well aware of this so I assume he has some sort of plan. Donald Trump is not a person to waste four years of his life and put himself and his family through Hell just to lose another election. I’m expecting the election to be postponed due to national upheaval or some other type of constitutional crisis and possible intervention by the military.
The only other scenario I can envision is Trump just lets this go to the election, he loses and its so blatant that the country erupts and the certification is not allowed to take place on January 6th and we have a pause while Congress contemplates what to do. But I don’t really see that scenario happening.
He was propped up by President Retard so he could steal another election. What a shock not
One difference between our election & that of Venezuela that I noticed was that here in the USA not all the guns are in the hands of the bad guys. Now of course, we all hope it never comes to that kind of violence during an election, but if cheating continues to continues to occur during an election & there is no other recourse, then it could occur, although that is not the wish of respectable voters. We would hope it would never come to that here in our country, although we know that is how this country was taken from the British.
Maduro reviewed the outcome of the U.S. 2020 election and made his move with impunity...
Blatant fraud is acceptable across the globe, these days...
