I was a critical supporter of Hugo Chavez, but Maduro is Venezuela's Stalin and has buried all the gains of the Bolivarian revolution. Actual Venezuelan leftists who have suffered under the dictatorship condemn Trump's kidnapping without hesitation while not neglecting to say that this guy was the enemy of the people.

I'm honestly partial to the idea that Maduro's VP sold him out in return for the survival of the rest of her corrupt regime. People who are imagining that now Machado or Gonzalez can return and take over are not paying attention - in fact, they're dreaming. Trump hasn't even pretended this is about democracy. Once again, Maduro's whole regime are still there and acting defiant. Some people have learned nothing from 2003.

If you cheer this, nothing will stop this happening next time in Havana, Mexico City, Bogotá, or anywhere else someone crosses the whims of the Orange Goblin.

Maduro and Flores have to be returned to Venezuela, now, so Venezuelans can deal with them. More details about how we got here, from a socialist perspective.

Seems like we finally agree on something, Mdme Schivă.

Endorsed.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on Today at 02:15:46 AMI don't like how it happened but I am honestly glad he is gone. I don't care if they are tried in New York or The Hague but I hope Maduro and his wife will be jailed for decades as the authors of misery and destabilization for decades. And that the safe and secure return of Maria Camacho Machado and Edmundo Gonzales (the actual president of Venezuela) from exile can help start the rebuilding of democracy in Venezuela.

The sight and sound of Venezuelans chanting and crying in the streets brings me back to talking with Venezuelan refugees in Colombia in 2019 while on a human rights delegation. I tried to imagine those refugees fear and now maybe a little bit of hope that they might be able to come home.

It's what I always say: Everyone does the right thing, just the wrong way.

I wish to temporarily withdraw my Resolution 2026-01. After reviewing the provincial constitution we are mandated to first establish that the current governor has the confidence of the House of Shepherds.

Here is the relevant language:

QuoteSection 9. Governor to Maintain Confidence of Shepherds.
The first order of business in the House of Shepherds, following the commencement of a new session, shall be by resolution the affirmation of their Confidence in the sitting Governor, though these Resolutions of Confidence may be introduced at other times.

@mximo In accordance with Section 9 due to the delayed performance of duties in this early term and complete absence for much of the previous term I am regrettably submitting a motion of no confidence with respect to the current governor.

Seriösmint, acest fost terminar.

This is why I'm an isolationist. It's NOT their problem to deal with!!!!!!!!!

At the request of His Majesty, I have added His Grace as a signatory as our head of state.

@Iac Marscheir Are we now considering Resolution 2026-01? What is happening in the Nimlet?

I wholeheartedly agree with the Seneschal's statement and vehemently condemn the actions taken by the current American administration.
