    He does realize that making Venezuela the 51st state would make all those brown people who don’t speak English actual US citizens? I mean. Obviously he doesn’t, but you know…

    He conquered and invaded Venezuela and stole their oil. Not much outrage out there for that blatantly corrupt russia-like move. Is the world broken or are the billionaire-owned media companies that good?

      There’s just such an overload of news that many people in the mainstream forget. People should also be outraged that Trump deployed the national guard in several states and that ICE murdered people in Minnesota and also still does but has gotten better at hiding it. When everything has become insanity it’s hard to focus on everything that’s going on

      They started the year with this. Then we did dumb shit to Cuba, and he and elon were outted as pedophile fucks, so he started shit in iran.

      It’s been 11 months of absolute shit and chaos since, and the fat fucks in the US news have not stopped kissing his ass.

      Nah theres no outrage for Venezuela, we can’t stop and catch our breath, we’re dumbstruck in shock as a unit over here as to why no one not one soul, can do anything to stop this awful mother fucker.

    On a positive note, making Venezuela a 51st state would mean DC and Puerto Rico would finally get a better shot.

    Simultaneously, it would tarnish the entire concept of statehood, introducing the specter of imperialism into it’s definition.

    Gosh. I hope Canada and Greenland don’t get mad. I know both of them look forward to being (86☼47) - #51.

    I’ve heard they were both clamoring at the UN to be the number one draft pick for US position #51.

      Canada should be terrified of the US right now. Almost all of Alberta’s oil is bitumen…the same crap Venezuela is having stolen from them right now. Alberta is next.

        I don’t know about terrified, but “prepared” comes to mind. Trump is working on behest of the Saudis as far as the oil thing goes.

        The Saudis have hired trump, and hence American “muscle”. So yeah - be nervous and get prepared.

          This is a known fact and one that the US government is quite open about. There is no tact or subtlety anymore - but that’s to be expected from a bunch of idiots.

      Nope. It just means now trump has oil to sell, and the higher the price (say… matching European pricing) the more money he steals.

      Trump is a one trick pony - greed. Nothing he does is outside of that parameter.

        That’s an unfair oversimplification.

        He also very much enjoys raping children.
