1. Venezuela and its new crooked president

are working with Krasnov to make money, grifting, from its oil. The Maduro administration never changed, it's still crooked as hell.

With that said, our crew worked in other countries rebuilding and installing new glass bottle machines. When Chavez was president we worked along side Venezuelans, they were just like us, just workers making a living for their families. Many of the workers loved Chavez.

It seems to be the same for most countries, the little people are good, honest, hard working people, their leaders are the problem.

Has a choice. Pedo Trump stole 80 million barrels of oil from Venezuela, sold it and kept the money. It was the cost for stopping the bombing of Venezuela.

Yeah, the new president is kissing Pedo's butt but does she have a choice? She doesn't want to be bombed and kidnapped.

Venezuela played with such heart. It was a very emotional game for them. While I was rooting for Team USA, I was happy for the Venezuela team who clearly came to win! And what a joyful celebration after! The medal ceremony was so much fun to see!

The people in Venezuela still feel like they have been attacked. This had to mean a lot to them after what the US did to their country. And after the initial shock that had some people celebrating there, they soon realized this wasn't regime change in any way, it was just about the oil and they're still living under an oppressive regime.

Pedo Trump got 60 million barrels of oil from Venezuela. He sold it and kept the money. It's all about lining the Pedo's pockets.

For the record, I was rooting for the American Hispanic team.

The USA won by a landslide! Most of the strikes they called on us were really balls! Our foul balls were really home runs! The umpires were crooked!
