This is a fucking criminal act.
…add it to the pile
It should be stressed how not-normal this is. Don’t let the media tell you it’s okay just because some people will be very happy. Maduro is a dictator that has murdered entire families. It’s understandable. However, you can’t kidnap the leader of another state because you don’t like them. If so, it would be just as justifiable to kidnap Trump or Putin. This doesn’t make the world safe and the best case scenario is that they install a leader that allows the US to rape Venezuela for it’s resources while personally enriching Trump. The worse is civil war.
At this point, I wouldn’t mind if Mexico disappeared Trump and the chain of command.
Trump is a threat to Americans who oppose him, it is very likely that he will attempt to murder people like AOC, Mamdani, and Mark Kelly in the years to come. Venezuelans, Californians, New Yorkers, there is no difference to him. So long as people defy his will or has something he can steal, he will assault them.
They keep begging for a Night of Long Knives
It will be manufactured if one does not come organically.
APnews.com, first sub-headline:
FACT FOCUS: Trump repeats false claims as he discusses US raid to extract Venezuela’s president
Calling bullshit up front and center is pretty bold for the AP and that says something.
And yet they couldn’t help themselves from saying “extract” instead of “kidnaps during an invasion”
I’ve been so disappointed with all the soft language from AP and Reuters.
Of course Mango Mussolini wants a civil war. Divide and conquer, while the US oil companies pump the oil out.
If so, it would be just as justifiable to kidnap Trump or Putin.
Nice weather we’re having.
You’re not making a very strong argument…
Yours is weaker
why did they “kidnap” his wife too?
Why put “kidnap” in quotes, it’s not as if it’s a wild claim?
It certainly wasn’t lawful in Venezuela, where I believe the kidnapping occurred.
because it actually is a “wifenab” or wifenap but the word doesn’t exist.
it was not a political choice but a linguistic (non)sensibility
What? Kidnapping doesn’t only happen to kids, adults can be kidnapped as well. Also if you are dead set on calling it something else it would just be abducted, like she’s a whole person not just a wife.
yes, “abducted” is surely a better word choice but my comment was a reply to the title. so i used the same word and put it in quotation marks.
Now… why did they abduct a “whole other person” who is Nicolás Maduro’s wife?
Kidnapped had been the appropriate word choice since the mid-1800’s at least.
not sure why we are arguing about word choice? if you understand the intent, just move on… why be critical?
Who happens to be 13?
And pregnant?
And they murdered her baby?
Seriously, this could get real worse real quick.
?
In relation to Trump raping that 13 yo and killing their baby
i feel like i will regret my question but, can you post some links so i can understand what you’re writing about?
Trump raped a 13 year old possibly impregnating her and her uncle drowned the baby in lake Michigan while Trump was present.
Someone called the FBI a few years ago and claimed that Trump raped her and killed her kid. Take it as seriously as you would any spurious accusation
No one seriously thinks Trump murdered a baby and dumped it in Lake Michigan or was there when it happened. He’s not got the attention span for that.
Not any more, no.
You really think he EVER got on a boat, with a pregnant woman in labor, or a newly delivered mom, and then went and disposed of the baby?
He was there to fuck underage girls, not play with the consequences. I’m not saying Epstein couldn’t have ordered such done, but think about this, why would Trump have been there? Taking time off the golf course so he could watch a baby get dumped? Just not very plausible given what we know of him.
with a pregnant woman in labor
No, it was a thirteen year old girl. Are you even paying attention?

Because she’s just as guilty if not more for living off blood money. Or did you give her a pass?
Let’s pretend for a minute that Maduro’s abduction was actually justified by anything that was given as a reason (spoiler: it’s not). How would that affect his wife still? Being married to a criminal and benefiting from their crimes without participation isn’t illegal.
Its long been illegal to benefit from your spouses crimes.
Calling a dictator’s spouse uninvolved ignores how authoritarian power works. When crimes are public and systemic, knowingly benefiting from the ruler’s wealth and privilege while offering loyalty or silence helps sustain the system, and the law already recognizes this by treating knowing benefit and facilitation as culpable even without direct action.
Ps> re: maduro’s capture. in history only three things have hiatorically stopped a dictator:1 self destruction, 2 people rising up or 3 another country.
Thus begins the first of Trump’s fascist wars of conquest. This is how world war 2 started.
The president of peace, everyone

I have kidnapped a head of state, join me at my luxury resort for details
This is the kind of shit my prez in tropico would do
The only difference right now between tropico and the us is the size of the country.
Also Tropico isn’t run by pedophiles.
The Tropico president is also fuckable. Trump is only guillotinable.
I wouldn’t want to sully a beautiful guillotine with his viscera, just fucking shoot him in the back of the head and toss his corpse into the nearest hole to be devoured by insects.
Actually, on second thought, forget the hole, we don’t want to sully our beautiful insects with his viscera, just incinerate the corpse and toss the carbon ash into the nearest toxic waste dump.
I’d be on board with this, if it wasn’t for the fact that someone already tried and failed. Ugh. I hate that this pedo has plot armour.
The military is NOT us law enforcement.
You fat fucking tub of shit, and no amount of you saying it is will trick people into thinking so when you keep trying to use them as such inside the country.
As if “US law enforcement” means anything outside of the US. It’s not Venezuelan law enforcement is it?
I don’t know, there are a LOT of gullible fucking idiots who absolutely will be tricked.
I think he meant the DOJ assisted in trumping up the bullshit charges and will handle prosecution.
I wish someone would kidnap this kiddie rapist and throw him into Lake Michigan
That’s rough on the lake
We’re not even a full year into this lunatic’s reign.
And I’m not sure how to feel about it. They stormed in, took the president and fucked off. Presumably they’ll install the other candidate, who will let the newly formed Trump Oil have their pick of it.
And still, I’d take that over what they normally do, which is invade, terrorise the whole country for a decade or two, murder and torture a load of civilians, and then do all the other stuff anyway. I’m not sure how many times they can do this to regimes they don’t like. I’d assume that all the other tin pot dictators are on the phone right now ordering a lot of very thick underground bunkers, and enough tins of beans to last 20 years.
We live in interesting times…
Trump is actually now saying that the US will install a puppet state and have the American military take over their oil industry.
Yeah, the US invasion of Venezuela is setting precedence and signal to China’s annexation of Taiwan and dampens the illegality of Russian invasion of Ukraine. It’s a successful move on Trump and creates a “rally around the flag” effect on voters and distract them from Epstein files.
Except there’s no “rally around the flag” going on? No one has Venezuela on their bingo cards.
And I’m not sure how to feel about it.
I expected worse.
Like a tactical nuke in a major city type worse.
So the fact he hasn’t nuked anyone is better than my expectations.
3 years left…
We might lose a city or two from nukes… 👀
“We captured someone in another country as per conjunction with US law enforcement”
You just can’t make this shit up- but they did.
Worse, we kidnapped a head of state and his wife. As to the law enforcement thing, it means the DOJ collaborated on trumping up charges to make it sound legit.
Also, framing it this way makes it sound like US police were involved, which will legitimize this with a great many Americans.
“Must be a bad guy if the cops had him in their sights.”
DOJ spymaster going through the books for that casus belli.
I find it rather ironic that trump is attacking Venezuela since he was the one who suggested a peace treaty/deal with Russia and Ukraine.
For someone who is so optimistic about preventing war that they were making deals to prevent it, you would think he would do the same with Venezuela.
“Damn, you made it seem like you can talk out any war from happening, but I guess not with Venezuela” 😂
I haven’t followed the news about this strike against venezuela, so be mindful of that, I just had to make this point…
you see there is this thing called epstein files, and some of it being released has made him very desperate to distract the news from it.
Saw this elsewhere in broken english and cleaned it up a little:
“The US invasion of Venezuela sets precedent for China’s annexation of Taiwan and dampens the illegality of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. It’s a (likely successful) move on Trump’s part to promote authoritarianism globally and apply a thick oily balm to his problems at home. What Epstein files?”
A rogue state with the most powerful military. The next world war is going to primarily be everyone vs the barbaric Americans. I could see it ending up like The Man in the High Castle. A nation fractured into Christofascist and liberated regions. That’s if the rest of the world can even muster and offensive.
The axis (Russia, China, USA) isn’t really an axis that it’s made out to be. That’s mainly US state propaganda that is pushing the whataboutism to diminish the severity of their evilness. Russia is a non-factor now that it’s blown its military load on Ukraine. China doesn’t actually care about world domination. They care more about economic strength. Maybe they take Taiwan. It’s a small island. US state propaganda will make it seem like a whole continent. Whataboutism. There’s only one nation on this planet since World War II that was waged continuous conflict throughout the world. Every region. One might even say the world has been under constant American threat since 1945. A slow burning, never-ending war. They feed us their media soft-power to keep us sedated.
China doesn’t actually care about world domination. They care more about economic strength.
They’re literally using that economic strength to conquer developing countries through neocolonial exploitation of corruption.
Honestly how the fuck is any satire publication like the onion or similar still in business with the current state of reality???
They changed business. They’re not satirical anymore. They are oracles foreseeing the events of the next weeks.
The change occurred about the time they put out the article on Gillette skipping 4 blades and going straight to 5.
I don’t even know how they’re still in business. I bought a cheap safety razor and a hundred pack of blades literally a decade ago now, and at the time still had a couple multiblade razor packs around. I haven’t bought a razor in a decade. I’m maybe 2/5 of the way through my blade pack, and I think I’m finally on the last heads on the two multi-blade razors (because those only get used for my balls).
the safety razor is just so much better for shaving your face
tbf it does help that I don’t shave my face completely and only shave at most twice a week
Post your smooth balls
That makes me remember I think it was an ancient SNL bit about exactly that, a new gillette razor with 5 blades and a sixth phantom blade that comes close to touching the skin but doesn’t quite. And then like three years later there were the 5 blade gillettes with the sixth edging blade on the back. The SNL skit called it. I think about that more than I probably ought to.
They should make an article titled “Trump fires everyone at the Onion and takes over the writing ‘I can do this better than you’”
I want off this fucking ride.
End stage capitalism is just getting started! Enjoy!
No you can’t make me
If we could escape this planet, they could to. I would prefer the universe not be infected like our planet is.
I’m holding out hope that Elon will be on a one way trip to Mars some day. Perhaps he can take all his “friends” with him.
And already my 2026 bingo card is deprecated. Kidnapping a head of state, that one is new.
Manuel Noriega might disagree…
Yeah, but at least Noriega was a legit narco kingpin.
My friends and I had considered making a bingo card and we are straight up not creative enough to hang more than a few days.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States carried out a lightning military strike on Venezuela early Saturday, capturing President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, and spiriting them out of the country. President Donald Trump said the U.S. is “going to run” Venezuela until a transition of power can occur and the U.S. will tap the country’s vast oil reserves as part of a rebuilding effort.
“Lightning military strike”, what an interesting turn of phrase.
How would one say that in German? Just wondering.
Blitzkrieg, if my
historyGerman serves meTechnically no, the Blitzkrieg would apply in a full blown war. Krasnov ordered a commando mission.
So a blitz special operation?
Does it rhyme with shitskrieg?
Ja
He doesn’t even know how to run one country, let alone two.
