Venezuelans across the globe celebrated Saturday after the US captured their homeland’s longtime dictator and alleged drug titan — whose repressive regime triggered one of the largest migration crises in recent history.

Jubilant celebrants took to the streets in the US, South America and Europe in the hours after captured strongman Nicolás Maduro and his wife were flown to the states and indicted on a litany of federal charges.

In the South Florida city of Doral — home to the largest Venezuelan community in the US – hundreds have been celebrating in the street since 4 a.m.

Good. Go home and fight-do the right thing. Will California residents do the same?

From the Babylon Bee:

SACRAMENTO, CA — Only days after the toppling of the Maduro regime in Venezuela, news broke Monday morning that President Donald Trump had led a Navy SEAL team to capture rogue dictator Gavin Newsom.

Reports came in in the early morning hours that loud explosions had been heard near the governor’s mansion, with multiple witnesses saying they saw Black Hawk helicopters flying low over the city. A statement from the White House later confirmed that communist despot Gavin Newsom had been apprehended by Navy SEALs under the command of President Trump.

“The people of California are now free,” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said. “President Trump personally led the mission to take Gavin Newsom into U.S. custody, ending years of suffering and oppression for the people under his rule. We are pleased to announce that no lives were lost in the mission and that Governor Newsom is currently in transit to a secret location for questioning following a brief stop the SEAL team made at McDonald’s.”

Shortly after the administration confirmed the operation, President Trump posted to his Truth Social account announcing the successful mission. “Californians can now live in peace with the United States,” he said. “For too long, Greasy Gavin Newscum has run a corrupt totalitarian government in the once-beautiful state of California. I am pleased to confirm that the amazing Navy SEALs, with me leading the mission, have captured Newscum. He will now answer for his horrible crimes and for his hair. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

At publishing time, the White House had also confirmed that the United States had seized control of the millions of barrels of crude oil Newsom had stockpiled for use as his hair product.

Oh, this party is just getting started...

Good thing the low IQ communistas in South America & Mexico don’t have nukes, although plenty of American boys will be coming back room temp.

Wonder what the CCP has planned?

We shall see, won’t we?

The only people pissed off about it are the jackasses in the RAT “media” and the retarded, Socialist RAT voters sucking off the government teat here and the Latino Romeo lover himself, Chrissy Van Hollen.

I saw a video clip of celebrating Venezuelans. Many were waving medium sized Venezuelan flags.

Near the middle of the celebrating was a Queer flag, much larger and held higher.

International queers could not let the opportunity to blacken the joyous event with their perverted crap.
