“Maduro just trying to defend his democracy. Like Nicaragua, Russia and the U.S. Democrats.”

Russia? Please don’t tell me you are still carrying that Hillary Clinton BS with you?

Amazingly, this isn’t the Babylon Bee - these hypocrites, these would-be tyrants, don’t even have the humility to self-reflect and realize that they are just as bad as the Turd World dictator in Communist Venezuela - but they want more time in charge, and will shamelessly cheat AGAIN to get it. Hopefully, the public prevents that by voting so overwhelmingly to toss these bastards out that no amount of cheating can put these bastards (especially the corrupt and senile hair-sniffer) over the top. PHUCK, look at what the Dems have done - in their extreme lust for power, we can’t even count on the simple counting of valid ballots - and ONLY valid ballots - to determine the winner of an election.

Wow... Liberals must have never heard of, or have any concept of the word hypocrisy.. Honor and decency is alien to them. :(
