    No wonder it was a landslide.

    Threatening people just like cfk tried to do. A few days ago he said that those who voted against him made a very bad mistake...and will be very very sorry. You are right, #1...they just don't get it.

    Judge Susana Barreiros - last we heard of her, she was being 'rewarded' with a cushy semi-ambassadorial post in Chile.
    So, what happened? Did the Chilean Govt. reject the idea?

    Now, in the Chavista backlash, she has been appointed “as the next human rights ombudsman” ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??????????
    Really?
    Her?
    Who ”condemned [Lopez] to nearly 14 years in prison?

    Unbelievable!?

    Yet sadly not in the Orwellian Chavista 'reality'....

    There is a long road ahead before Venezuela is free of these corrupt dogs.

    @3. Time for a REAL people's revolution? The question is whether the Venezuelan people have the bottle to assassinate Maduro and his cronies. It would be pleasant to think of them being thrown into a dank, rat-infested cell for the next 50 years. Perhaps with viewing times. Where visitors could throw things. Perhaps one of those cells with the entrance/exit overhead. Visitors could then just drop things. Cowpats for example.
