Hard to believe you missed it!

It's been since before day 1 for what's his name, Sumohadiwidjojo or what ever his crack addled skank baby momma decided to call him at a given time.

Dub and Dick both knew exactly who and what he is, and THEY did NOTHING. To this day they still do NOTHING.

Our Republic expired quite some time ago.

As if the economic emergency just happened yesterday...

I hope Venezuela can rid itself of Maduro and anyone else seeking to replace dictatorship with another dictatorship.

Communists ruin economy.... ruined economy requires communists to have more power forever. Makes sense. I think Ayn Rand wrote about this....
