29. Quite possibly you are smarter than me. You are obviously much better at 'word salad'.

I have not followed anything about any case against Maduro, other than surmising that right-wingers hated him because he was purported to be some kind of 'socialist'--- but also reported to be some kind of authoritarian...

When you say "you have to know" you give me too much credit-- perhaps I have been
too busy somewhere else to 'know' whatever point you were trying to make,
but that phrase is thus rather insulting and patronizing.

As for the word "kakistocracy", I have never seen it before in my life.
Is that some kind of made-up word for DU and other more-left-than-right websites??
If I care enough to inquire, I will consult A.I., although I have been told on this site
that doing so will be some kind of mortal sin......


Just in case there is any misunderstanding,
"you have to know" that anything I have posted is
by no means any defense of Trump or his gaggle of yes-men and women....

I wish that Venezuela had the military might to swoop in some dark night
and remove TRUMP to face justice for crimes against humanity
in a Venezuelan court....
