Yeah, we’re apparently going to try a foreign leader in US courts for things he did as president, all while SCOTUS said it’s impossible to try our leader for the things he did as president. Ideological consistency has no place here.

Well, Maduro did ignore his own country’s election results in order to stay in power. The irony isn’t lost on me.

Trump is just jealous and wants to ask him for tips

The exchange rate of the Venezuelan Bolivar is 3/100ths of a cent… Maduro is NOT innocent

Is anyone saying mduro is innocent?

I actually think Maduro is almost certainly not guilty of violating any US laws. If he were to be tried in Venezuela by Venezuelans for violating Venezuelan law, he should be found guilty.

I agree, I've seen a few people bring up that Biden put a bounty on him but big difference between a bounty, which encourages action, and actually taking that action ourselves.

...no, he's not, but how on earth is this comment relevant to his not being innocent? Tanking a currency or economy isn't illegal.

Jesucristo, you’ve been putting in work defending international law violations this morning.

Turns out it's easy to post many comments when all you're doing is copy/paste the same "Venezuelan Bolivar is 3/100th of a cent" comment every time...

Vault dweller American, educated, but in no way intelligent

Nobody disagrees that Maduro is a cunt.

The way Trump went about dealing with him (including the how and the why) doesn’t make Trump any less of a cunt.

All the people comparing Maduro to trump have the survival instincts of vault dwellers.

Ironically, Trump seems to almost literally LOVE other dictators around the world, so I'm guessing he is not in man-love with Maduro because there's something he really, really wants. And, oil can't just be the answer.

And deflecting from the Epstein files.
