The Venezuelan gun crushers will no doubt become another shining example for Komrade Clinton to cite in her quest to make America a safer place. In the meantime when the electrical grid collapses down there, those electrical goods are not going to be of much use are they?

Things are getting ugly in the socialist paradise.

Not too much longer now, the "masses" are restless and would probably welcome the "oppression" offered here at the US where our "down trodden" worry about obesity.

My only "regret" is this wasn't done to Chavez.

Margarita-ville

Sheesh, a guy can't even go a little offshore these days...

Quote:
CARACAS, Venezuela – Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro reportedly was greeted by angry pot-banging protesters during a visit to Margarita Island.

Grainy cellphone videos said to be from the Friday night encounter were picked up by Venezuelan news sites and were trending on social media. The socialist leader is seen jogging through a crowd as residents loudly bang on pots and hurl obscenities.

Our obese down trodden probably wouldn't take to the streets in the hundreds of thousands...at least not until their EBT cards quit working.

This'll fix EVERYthing.

In an effort to contain the increasing scarcity of food and medicine, the government of Venezuela is moving forward with an initiative launched a couple of months ago that many at first took as a joke: the Great Mission of Sovereign Supply, headed by Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino.

Over the weekend, Gen. Padrino announced the appointment of 18 military generals and admirals to oversee the production, distribution and commercialization of 18 categories of food and items considered basic staples for Venezuela’s economy.

The categories to be supervised are rice, food oil, sugar, coffee, beans, corn, corn wheat, dairy, butter, wheat, soy, cattle, fish products, porcine, poultry, toilet paper and diapers, personal hygiene products and medicines.
