Apr 02nd, 2014 - 08:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0Not one sign of outrage from the sister dictocracies. If the free minded people of Venezuela can hold out a little longer...time will turn out to be these dictators worst enemies.
I hope they die the most sufferable, inglorious deaths imaginable. If not.....a life in exile in Africa somewhere, Angola.
Guinea would be a nicer choice. However, since we don't want to cause any human rights to be violated, it would be more humane to have them exiled to a neutral first world territory. My suggestion would be Norway's Bouvet Island.

Apr 02nd, 2014 - 11:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0And they have a Minister of Happiness...VeneCuba is a joke and its time for the end of the regime. Period.
Apr 02nd, 2014 - 11:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0Did the Minister of Happiness change the national anthem to.....
Apr 02nd, 2014 - 12:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Don't Worry, Be Happy”?
So where are the rest of the world with sanctions??
Apr 02nd, 2014 - 12:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No one has the balls to make waves.
No one has to apply damaging sanctions to a dictator that is doing the damage himself.
Apr 02nd, 2014 - 03:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Shame on you Diosdado Cabello!
Apr 02nd, 2014 - 11:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Some commentators say this is not a dictatorship compared to what happened in other countries in the 1970s.
Ok, but this is now. This is not freedom.
Why do at least 50% of the population refuse to submit to this crap?
Chavistas,
How do you justify this illegality?
Apologists for Maduro. I welcome your response.
Someone who got less than half of the vote (yes we really believe Maduro won) clearing the field of the people who actually WON their elections WITH interference from Maduro's CNE. No shame is too much for the fascist PSUV.
Apr 03rd, 2014 - 03:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Maduro agreed in front of UNASUR that a recount would go ahead as he only won a 0.4% by a vote.
Apr 04th, 2014 - 11:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This never happened.
UNASUR did nothing.
There was no recount.
These are undeniable facts.
Go check this yourselves, prove me wrong trolls!
25000 homicides last year
98% unsolved.
I protest against the regime for this alone!
A murder every 21 minutes..... unsolved, unpunished?
$15 billion of oil money 'missing'?
Would you tolerate this in YOUR country?
No toilet roll, chicken or rice in the shops?
Schools closed due to fear? No buses running?
A foreign government in controll of your Secret Service (SEBIN)?
F*ck the politics. Would YOU tolerate this?

Apr 05th, 2014 - 10:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0You are lying about the recount.
And you are getting desperate because the destabilisation you support isn't working.
I told you it won't Work.
Only decency does.
Be decent.
Respect democracy.
Stand in line.
:)
Please prove to me that I am lying about the recount. If there was a recount after the last Presidential election there must be a record of it and of the outcome?
Apr 05th, 2014 - 01:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It can't be that hard to find?
Where have I said I support destabilising the economy?
The current situation is having a negative impact on my earnings. I wish for peace and prosperity for all. Something in contrast with Havana...
