Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — At least seven explosions and low-flying aircraft were heard around 2 a.m. local time Saturday in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas. The government accused the United States of attacking civilian and military installations in multiple states.

[...]

Venezuela’s government, in the statement, called on its supporters to take to the streets.

“People to the streets!” the statement said. “The Bolivarian Government calls on all social and political forces in the country to activate mobilization plans and repudiate this imperialist attack.”

The statement added that President Nicolás Maduro had “ordered all national defense plans to be implemented” and declared “a state of external disturbance.” That state of emergency gives him the power to suspend people’s rights and expand the role of the armed forces.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid that this point will never come - and that's why I'm pissed off. I don't think anyone can complain about that, because you are represented by a criminal, a rapist even.

In fact, I think you should see that something is being done as soon as possible, because it is obvious that your regime is in the process of establishing a totalitarian state - and then you will have to reckon with repressive measures like in Russia. Why do you think ICE has a budget that corresponds to the military spending of a medium-sized country? Well, it's obviously a secret police force that will soon no longer be harassing only foreigners.

I'm sorry to be so blunt, but no one other than the US citizens themselves can eliminate this plague, because you have an invincible army and nuclear weapons - all in the hands of that orange monster and his ruthless henchmen.

And a pedophile. And a murderer. And he pees and poops himself.

Yes, unfortunately, it is hardly possible to list everything that disqualifies this inhuman being, so I have limited myself to criminal and rapist. Oh, what about the more than $400 million he still owes the state of New York for massive financial fraud, for which he should have gone to prison for decades? Never mind, I'm getting carried away again with details of his criminal career...

As a matter of fact, it turns out that it is NOT impossible, it just takes a long time to say:

Granted, that one and its twin list only cover trump's two terms in office, but it's a start.
