"I run Venezuela" (when there is oil money to be taken)
"I don't run Venezuela" (when they need literally any governance or humanitarian help)

sounds like the way he runs the us. oh we need more farm aid and it totally is not something that snap benefits would effect.

If he could have bowed out during COVID, he would have done that too. He's like the Levite that walks by in the parable of the Good Samaritan. Heartless.

Heh. I like that. He certainly does appear in the Bible in certain places, just not the places he would like you to think he does. LOL

Predicted 14 million by 2030, 4 million being children. There's no excuse for this. At best it's negligent mass homicide.

I wonder, if President Maduro is aware, and what he must be thinking, if he is.
I haven't seen him in the news since he's been kidnapped.
