Trump said that Venezuela’s new leader, Delcy Rodríguez, would help the United States run Venezuela. She quickly said the opposite.

Trump said Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as Venezuela’s interim president and would act as a partner in letting the United States run the country.

“She’s essentially willing to do what we think is necessary to make Venezuela great again,” he said.

Less than two hours later, Ms. Rodríguez — who was Nicolás Maduro’s vice president — delivered a televised address to Venezuela that made clear she viewed the United States as an illegal invader that must be rejected.

    Cunt everything you enjoy was achieved through mass disobedience and violence. Yet you have the gall to say it doesn’t improve things? Are you stupid or just uneducated?

      Violence just leads to more violence. If you paid even a tiny bit of attention to history, you’d know that.

          The power of love is what gave many the courage to charge fascist lines and keep firing until they heard the “PING!” , over and over again, until those fascists were no longer able to continue hurting people.

          I’d argue we need that power of love more than ever, as it discerns righteous violence from the pointless bloodshed lusted after by evil men.

          To love one another is to make certain our neighbor must never endure the fascist’s boot.

          I pray we all find the courage to love one another a little more fiercely, in the face of these horrors.
