Same with Cuba.
Except the Cuban Customs officers confiscate/steal them so they never make it to the intended recipient.

Well that's her opinion, man. Her family didn't know how good they had it, if they gave it a real shot. It was the dream landing spot.

Trump and the Right need to figure out how to get the message out, a out how bad it got in 25yrs under the type of policies they dream off.

The grocery lines are long as frick right now there. This admin needs to get the food logistics in place first and foremost to make sure the hungry don't get hangry.

If the people are wanting change, they align with our (good people not democrats) ideals, and if it’s this fricking easy? Yes.

We need to isolate New York. The mindrot there must not spread. Same with Washington, Oregon, Mass, Minnesota, and California.

Your ex girlfriend has no idea what it is really like to live under a dictatorship like we do here in the US under Donald Trump.

Sounds like she needs to be educated on her real-life experiences.

Sincerely,

Progressives

Yep. Where's Bernie Sanders? He praised Venezuela's socialist utopia. But something tells me the media won't question him on that.

I have a handful of Venezuelan friends and most of them know my son and what he does. I’ve been getting a ton of messages with pictures of the helicopters involved all conveying the message of thanks and if he’s there and needs anything who to call. They all still have family there and all had their entire property stolen by the commies. Needless to say they are thrilled with this.

Her family had to move to Bogota Colombia because they got forced out of their houses and forced to give up their farms. People have no idea how bad it was in Venezuela. I’m sure that people there are happy, and maybe people can start moving back.


People don't know how bad it is because our media is basically communist. They don't want you to know what is going on so communist like mandami can get elected in New York.

The reason Venezuela is in the situation that it is in is directly because of the United States and the embargoes we have had on them for decades.
