Venezuela’s Long Night Breaks: Maduro Captured, Narco Regime Expose
For years, Venezuelans have lived under Nicolás Maduro’s rule, watching their country collapse while he clung to power through fraudulent elections and brute force. Now that era has been shaken to its core. After a large scale United States strike on Caracas, Maduro has been captured and is on his way to New York to face drugs and weapons charges in Manhattan federal court, according to President Donald Trump. Maduro is reportedly aboard the USS Iwo Jima, no longer a powerful president, but a prisoner heading into the heart of the U.S. justice system.
For millions of Venezuelans at home and abroad, this moment feels like justice finally starting to catch up with a man they see as a tyrant who fixed elections and destroyed a country rich in oil and talent.
Who Nicolás Maduro Is and How He Held Onto Power
Nicolás Maduro Moros is a Venezuelan citizen who once presented himself as the rightful successor to Hugo Chávez. According to the new U.S. indictment, he is now described as the “de facto but illegitimate ruler of the country,” a man who remained in power “despite losses in recent elections.”
Maduro’s political career stretches back decades. He held a seat in Venezuela’s National Assembly from about 2000 to 2006. He then served as Minister of Foreign Affairs from about 2006 to 2013, and briefly as Vice President in 2013. After Chávez died, Maduro took over the presidency and began to tighten his grip on power, even as the economy collapsed and the streets filled with anger and hunger.
The indictment notes that in 2018, Maduro “declared victory in a disputed and internationally condemned presidential election.” Then, in 2019, Venezuela’s National Assembly invoked the constitution and declared that Maduro “had usurped power and was not the legitimate President of Venezuela.” More than 50 countries, including the United States, refused to recognize him as head of state. Still, he remained in office.
In 2024, another election was held and again, the international community broadly criticized the vote. The indictment states that Maduro “declared himself the winner despite widespread condemnation.” In the eyes of many Venezuelans, this confirmed what they already believed. Their elections had become tools of a dictator who would not leave office willingly.
A Government Turned Into a Drug Machine
The new indictment from the U.S. Department of Justice does not describe Maduro as just a corrupt politician. It portrays him as the central figure in a narco state. Prosecutors say that for more than 25 years, Venezuelan leaders “have abused their positions of public trust and corrupted once-legitimate institutions to import tons of cocaine into the United States.”
Maduro, they say, is “at the forefront of that corruption” and has “partnered with his co-conspirators to use his illegally obtained authority and the institutions he corroded to transport thousands of tons of cocaine to the United States.” The document claims that “since his early days in Venezuelan government, Maduro Moros has tarnished every public office he has held.”
As a member of the National Assembly, he allegedly moved “loads of cocaine under the protection of Venezuelan law enforcement.” As Foreign Minister, he “provided Venezuelan diplomatic passports to drug traffickers” and helped give “diplomatic cover for planes used by money launderers to repatriate drug proceeds from Mexico to Venezuela.” Later, as President, he “allows cocaine fueled corruption to flourish for his own benefit, for the benefit of members of his ruling regime, and for the benefit of his family members.”
The result, according to prosecutors, is a government that has used its power to protect drug trafficking instead of fighting it. The indictment states that Maduro now sits “atop a corrupt, illegitimate government that, for decades, has leveraged government power to protect and promote illegal activity, including drug trafficking.” That trafficking has “enriched and entrenched Venezuela’s political and military elite” and concentrated power and wealth in the hands of his wife, the “purported First Lady” Cilia Flores de Maduro, his son Nicolás Ernesto Maduro Guerra, known as “Nicolasito” or “The Prince,” and other top officials.
State Sponsored Gangs and a Reign of Fear
The Justice Department also accuses Maduro and his family of building violent enforcement networks to protect their drug empire. The indictment says Maduro and Flores ran “state sponsored gangs” to “facilitate and protect their drug trafficking operation.” These gangs were not just thugs for hire. Prosecutors say they were used to order “kidnappings, beatings, and murders” against people who owed money or interfered with trafficking.
Prosecutors describe a cycle in which cocaine traffickers could pay a portion of their profits to Maduro and other politicians in exchange for law enforcement cover and logistical support. Those politicians then used the money to “maintain and augment their political power.” As the drug cartels grew, so did Maduro’s profits.
According to the indictment, this system “lines the pockets of Venezuelan officials and their families while also benefiting violent narco terrorists who operate with impunity on Venezuelan soil and who help produce, protect, and transport tons of cocaine to the United States.”
Partners in Narco Terror: FARC, ELN, Sinaloa, Zetas, and Tren de Aragua
Maduro’s regime is also accused of partnering with some of the most dangerous organizations in the hemisphere. Since about 1999, Venezuelan officials including Maduro, Diosdado Cabello, and Ramón Rodríguez Chacín have allegedly worked with narco terrorist groups and cartels such as the FARC, the ELN, the Sinaloa Cartel, the Zetas, and Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua, led by Héctor “Niño Guerrero.”
The FARC, founded in 1964, became “one of the largest producers of cocaine in the world” and used that revenue to fund weapons and terrorist attacks. The ELN, another Colombian group, has long sought to overthrow Colombia’s democratic government and has financed its operations by exporting “tons of cocaine annually to the United States and elsewhere.” The Sinaloa Cartel, led for many years by Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán and Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, grew into “the largest drug trafficking organization in the world,” maintaining its power through a “sophisticated and heavily armed security apparatus” that kills police, civilians, and rivals who enter its territory.
The indictment sums up this network plainly. “Maduro Moros and his co-conspirators have, for decades, partnered with some of the most violent and prolific drug traffickers and narco terrorists in the world, and relied on corrupt officials throughout the region, to distribute tons of cocaine to the United States.”
How Delta Force Brought Maduro Down
The capture of Nicolás Maduro was carried out by one of the most secretive and capable units in the U.S. military. An elite U.S. Army special operations unit known as Delta Force led the raid that seized Maduro and his wife, according to sources.
Delta Force is one of the United States military’s premier special missions units. It specializes in counterterrorism, hostage rescue, direct action, and special reconnaissance, often focusing on high value targets. Created in 1977 and placed directly under the Joint Special Operations Command, Delta Force is made up of eight operational “sabre squadrons” and is based at Fort Bragg in North Carolina.
Although most information about Delta Force is highly classified, it is known that the unit has been involved in some of the most complex and dangerous operations in U.S. history. It helped respond to the 1993 helicopter shoot down in Somalia, an event later dramatized in the film “Black Hawk Down.” It also participated in Operation Just Cause in Panama, which led to the capture of dictator Manuel Noriega in December 1989. Trump administration officials have cited that Panama operation as a precedent for the mission to capture Maduro.
In this new raid, Maduro and Cilia Flores were “dragged from their bedroom by elite U.S. forces,” according to CNN sources. President Trump told Fox News that some Americans were injured when a helicopter was hit during the mission, a sign of how dangerous the operation was.
On the ground in Caracas, CNN teams witnessed explosions and reported that parts of the city were without electricity. Footage showed empty roads and long lines outside pharmacies and grocery stores as people tried to get basic supplies while their government’s leader was being taken away.
Who Is the Legitimate President Now
The U.S. will take control of Venezuela during the transition, Trump has said he wants to make sure that bad elements do not grab control. Opposition leader María Corina Machado, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has made it clear that she believes the legitimate President is Edmundo González Urrutia.
In a letter posted on X and addressed to the people of Venezuela, Machado wrote, “Nicolás Maduro from today faces international justice for the atrocious crimes committed against Venezuelans and against citizens of many other nations.” She said that “given his refusal to accept a negotiated solution, the government of the United States has fulfilled its promise to enforce the law.”
Machado declared, “The time has come for popular sovereignty and national sovereignty to rule in our country.” She promised that “we are going to restore order, free political prisoners, build an exceptional country, and bring our children back home.”
She also stated that González had been elected as the legitimate president in the 2024 election, but that Maduro took office in January the next year despite “widespread international criticism of the election as fraudulent.” In her view, “He must immediately assume his constitutional mandate and be recognized as commander in chief of the national armed forces by all the officers and soldiers who make up its ranks.”
González shared her message and added, “Venezuelans, these are decisive hours, know that we are ready for the great operation of the reconstruction of our nation.”
A Country on the Move: Nearly Eight Million Forced to Leave
Maduro’s rule has not only damaged institutions and the economy. It has pushed millions of people out of their homeland. Over the past decade, Venezuela has suffered one of the largest migration crises in modern history. According to data from United Nations agencies cited in the text, more than 7.7 million Venezuelans have left the country since 2014. Other estimates place the figure at around 7.8 million to nearly 8 million Venezuelans now living abroad.
That means roughly 25 to 27 percent of Venezuela’s population has gone abroad. In practical terms, it means families crossing bridges into Colombia on foot, holding their children’s hands while they line up for shelter or vaccinations. One Venezuelan who fled with his family said, “I’ll return when Maduro goes,” capturing the feeling of many who see one man’s rule as the barrier between them and their homeland.
Years ago, humanitarian workers described how from January to June in one year, 650 people came to a shelter run by the Scalabrini International Migration organization. By August alone, 850 people arrived, a sign that “things are only getting worse.” Franklin Díaz, who runs the shelter, said, “The action of the authorities is fundamental, they are the ones who manage the resources,” pointing directly to Maduro’s government.
Colombia introduced “border mobility cards” that allow Venezuelans to cross even without passports. More than 700,000 people applied for these cards. Still, many found themselves sleeping in streets, trapped by the collapse of the bolívar. As one report noted, triple digit inflation meant “their savings in Venezuelan bolivares are worthless once converted into Colombian pesos.” Families curled up on sidewalks and roundabouts under signs that said “I love Cúcuta,” not as tourists, but as refugees.
Now, with Maduro in custody, millions of exiles are watching closely, many of them part of the 7.7 to nearly 8 million who left during the worst years of his rule.
Voices from Caracas and the Diaspora
Inside Caracas, the reactions to Maduro’s capture are mixed but intense. Motorcycle rider Ronald Galuee told Reuters, “There should be a positive change for all Venezuelans,” and said that “now is the time for transition in this country.” He expressed a cautious hope, explaining, “Now we have to wait for these people (government officials) to speak out and see what they have to say. Everything should happen now and we should get out of this situation.”
Merchant Juan Carlos Rincon said, “We are in God’s hands, because God is the one who is in control of everything. Only He knows what may happen in Venezuela.” He also voiced a deep wish shared by many: “We want to be at peace, move forward, and for Venezuela to have, like any other country, the right to choose its own destiny and its own leaders.”
Not everyone in Caracas supports the U.S. operation. Baker Franklin Jimenez argued that the United States should not have captured Maduro, saying “this will create an even worse conflict than the one we have now.” Referring to the bombings, he said that as the authorities have called for, “we all have to go out into the streets to defend our homeland, to defend ourselves.”
Outside Venezuela, however, many Venezuelans are openly celebrating. In Doral, Florida, and Santiago, Chile, crowds gathered after the U.S. confirmed Maduro’s capture. People danced, chanted, and sang the national anthem. Outside the El Arepazo restaurant in Doral, Venezuelans waved their national flag and held signs that read “Make Venezuela Great Again.”
One Venezuelan community member, Kirvin Suarez, told Reuters, “Today, justice is being served. Justice is being served for all the Venezuelans who left our country to demonstrate who we are. We are fighters, we entrepreneurs, we are good people but we want to return to our country and rebuild, move forward and continue being that force that we have always been. Long live Venezuela.”
Another Venezuelan abroad said, “This is the start of the end of the dictatorship of Venezuela.” Daniel Victorio added, “I am obviously very happy about everything that has happened,” and thanked President Donald Trump.
A Tyrant Falls, and Venezuela Looks Toward Tomorrow
Nicolás Maduro spent years fixing elections, crushing opponents, and turning Venezuelan institutions into tools of a sprawling cocaine empire. He stood atop a system where “state sponsored gangs,” corrupt officials, and violent narco terrorists worked together while ordinary people faced empty shelves and worthless money.
Now, that same man is in custody, heading to face charges of narco terrorism, conspiracy to import cocaine, possession of machine guns, and more. For Venezuelans who have suffered hunger, exile, and humiliation, his capture feels like the first crack in a wall that once seemed impossible to break.
The road ahead is still uncertain. As one analyst warned, simply removing Maduro is “not enough” to guarantee that the democratic opposition takes power, because his inner circle is already trying to preserve its influence and avoid prosecution. But there is no question that something historic has happened.
A ruler who stayed in office through rigged elections and cocaine fueled corruption has finally been pulled from his bedroom by foreign soldiers and placed on a ship bound for court. In Caracas, in Cúcuta, in Doral, and in every city where Venezuelans have been forced to start over, people are watching and hoping that this moment will truly be the beginning of the end of Maduro’s regime, and the start of a new chapter where they can finally celebrate not only his capture, but the return of their freedom.
I wonder how long it will take before Trump pardons him?
Don’t know. Probably longer than the pardons for terrorists by Clinton and Carter
Moron. You listen to news networks which have been lying for a decade. What have you learned. Nothing, too lazy to learn, you make stupid comments …
A Jack Ass who thinks the Democrat Party is still democratic … clueless about history, a zombie of contradictions and censored info who has been programmed to reject logic and mindlessly chant the totalitarian non-sense that he clings to despite the avalanche of evidence which proves just how illogical his intolerance and hatred is to the righteous cause of Freedom.
If you are still voting Democrat knoe that you are not voting for democracy
Andy, pretty funny. Really depends how much crypto the guy is good for……
Still, predicting Larry’s attack on Democrats on this one, he’s got a point. It was a clean snatch and grab and talking about pre-announcing to Congress, much less asking permission, seems a long shot complaint just leading to retorts of TDS, whatever that is. And talking “sovereign nation sanctity,” etc. seems a longer shot since we, as a nation, seem to do this stuff every time the President’s popularity polls drop lower than Trump’s flabby folds. Oh my goodness, did he close his eyes during Rubio again. I think he’s doing it just to tweak the press now. But Presidents with flagging polls going to war is almost a standard starting with Vietnam where LBJ seemed to get penis-shamed into going to war against a guy who believed in our founder’s words and vision. Tis in writing in Ho’s Declaration of Independence as summed by AI: “es, Ho Chi Minh greatly admired American founding ideals, particularly Thomas Jefferson’s words, using phrases from the U.S. Declaration of Independence in Vietnam’s 1945 Declaration of Independence to assert Vietnam’s freedom and appeal for U.S. support against French colonial rule, viewing the American struggle as a parallel anti-colonial fight.” For the Gulf of Tonkin, he demanded proof thinking the second attack was us firing at flying fish. But power corrupts (the mind sometimes), it was an election year, and off we went. One general later said the attack was like the fly attacking the fly swatter.
IMO, given the election, given the US $50M bounty, the fact that Argentina, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Jamaica, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay—issued a joint statement in January 2025 through the Organization of American States (OAS) condemning Maduro’s third term and calling his 2024 election victory fraudulent. The fact that the EU repeatedly stated that Maduro lacked democratic legitimacy and called for a peaceful transition of power. The EU repeatedly stated that Maduro lacked democratic legitimacy and called for a peaceful transition of power is a lot of gunpowder supporting our actions. Plus, “Jake, fuhgit about it, it’s Venezuela.”
I think it;s a loosing issue to push against the action for anyone, but especially Democrats.
The bigger issue, and one worthy of pushing against, is what’s next? Since Trump announced we are ending VZ’s sovereignty, taking control of it’s oil, and sounds like deposing it’s new President, this does not bode well as it looks like yet another forever-war, one thing that Trump trumpeted, and was a major tenant of America-First and MAGA. TACO was a good thing in this case, up until now.
So, Trump did it, he owns it, and now all those terrible narco terrorist gangs that ruined the US are his to control in VZ. I guess VZ tariffs are coming since it’s his favorite tool. There’s crime in those cities so I gather the troops will be going in soon, and that will be terrible. Wonder if he will deport the brown people there heh, heh?
And we know the drill. We’re on one side, there’s plenty of bad guys there, a lot of tropical rainforest, huge mountains, and terrain suited to gorilla warfare. Good chance that more countries will support their cause than ours, I presume. Trump’s not exactly a team player and not sure how many other countries want to get in the rowboat with him to pull on the oars in the same way. Could be a bit lonely down there.
Gotta love Rubio’s face in the presser when announced he and Hegseth rule VZ now. Hegseth does not have a clue but Rubio can see his Presidential bid in jeopardy while JD Vance didn’t step in it at all. Trump’s revenge on Rubio may be complete. As Trump’s Chief of Staff so aptly put it: Trump does not look for retribution, but when the opportunity presents itself, like a shark bumping into a bloody stump, it’s clobbering time!
Good snatch, but at this point seems a little ready fire, aim, and not so sure of the ready for what comes next. Transactional thinking will not get us out of this smoothly. We’ll know better once we see next steps. Doubtful we will ever see plans or specific goals, just generalities. And changes. Lots of changes.
Congrats to the Trump administration. But we must remember that congress is loaded with Marxist Trump hating democrats and they can’t be trusted to keep their mouths shut about covert operations. They would see America fall just to hurt Trump. The same for some of the idiots who posts on this site.
Why are they Marxists Harold?
Why are they Marxists? The democrats are no longer the party of Kennedy, Truman, or FDR. If today’s democrats were in charge in the 1940’s we would be speaking Japanese or German. If not for George W Bush we would be governed by the Muslim religion instead of the constitution The democrats today would have our country fall just to get Trump out of office
Harold,
Again, why are Democrats Marxists?
Marxists are not Muslims, what’s that about?
My parents are The Greatest Generation of the 40’s; I am less liberal than they.
I do agree the party is shifting progressive; my time has passed, but either Bush, Reagan, wouldn’t recognize MAGA as Republicans.
Question still stands, why are we Marxists because I certainly am not.
Frank, are you actually praising trump’s efforts? That would be a first. It seems ready, fire, aim to you because the Trump Administration can actually keep a secret, they have been planning this for a long time.
What comes next is that the narcos will be rooted out, the oil infrastructure will be rebuilt and Venezuela will, in time, become the richest country in latin america. It took a generation for them to fall to this lever (remember Reagan’s “one generation…”) and it may take that long to fix it.
Joe, happy new years and an early Happy Insurrection Day. Do the Hawley all over again. Without Trump, there is no 1/6/2021. Not a first for me re Trump, nor praise. Abrahams Accord, remember. This was a good snatch and grab is what I said. I also said what’s next is going to be tough.
A double feature beginning with Wag the Dog (look, it’s Narco Terrorists (Trump just made that up, like affordability), (look it’s bad, bad man, that’s true), (look it’s oil all over again). Then the second feature right out of Clear and Present Danger and we know how that ended. Bodes bad for us, perhaps good for Mark Kelly. Problem is this is not a movie even if Don gets to watch on TV.
The current status is we got one guy and his wife, and his entire organization is just fine. Our navy and service stand off shore as the cash register continues to ring and we go deeper in debt. To do what you say, I guess it’s boots on the ground time. This time i figure the rules of war will be relaxed so we can polish off a free civilians like Putin does. Probably take a couple of weeks, or decades.
As far as the secret, how many military actions have leaked, from Congress, from anywhere. He didn’t even tell his own people in Congress. Isn’t that the law? And the planning makes Rubio’s “we didn’t have time” a total lie. This guy can’t be trusted and, as I said, he’s been toasted by Don. Career over, he’s hit the Walz. Trump today said he spoke to the Oil Companies before and after the strike. Trusts them more than his own people. I think planning since October including a mock compound in Kentucky. I believe we took out a residential neighborhood in Caracas that perhaps we practiced for in Chicago. VZ claims 70 dead, pictures may be more Wag the Dog but don’t think they are that good. We didn’t mention, (another secret?), six wounded soldiers, two by gunshot, and how they are doing in San Antonio, hopefully enjoying Riverwalk. Guess they not important enough or they make for bad tv.
Then, imo, you go off the rails:
“What comes next is that the narcos will be rooted out (how many boots on the ground to rid 100 gangs, foreign forces, and perhaps 200,000 military. “the oil infrastructure will be rebuilt (I note we tried that and failed in iraq as shown here: *https://www.brookings.edu/articles/iraqs-oil-sector-one-year-after-liberation/#:~:text=The%20U.S.%2Dled%20Coalition%20Provisional,is%20still%20far%20from%20resolution.* “and Venezuela will, in time, become the richest country in latin america. (it’s a tough task,are Iraq, GAZA, and Afghanistan rich?).
” It took a generation for them to fall to this lever (remember Reagan’s “one generation…”) and it may take that long to fix it.” And you want to sacrifice our kids for oil, again? What happened to you Joe, what happened to America First? I want to bring down the debt, not increase it by Trumpian levels, again.
It took 35 years to pay down the debt from WWII and then Reagan to reverse the trend that has never changed to this date. Along the way, how many wars for oil. How many wars to bolster a President’s flagging popularity. Weren’t you CIA; how can you not see it.
Crazier yet, where’s Putin? Could we be making a trade: Ukraine for Venezuela? Wag the Dog Joe,
On to Columbia!!!!
I do find it endearing how you want to spend all our money helping US addicts and druggies not get product. You are a real philanthropist with our money.
“May you be born in interesting times.”
Hey, on the bright side, I did make 5% on Chevron in five hours today. Pretty funny, Huge bet so new laptop is free!
I never said that Muslims were Marxists. But we would have probably been defeated by radical Islam if not for republicans leading the country after 911. And much of the democrats policies are right out of the Marxist playbook. And the New York mayor is both Marxist and Muslim. Perhaps the people of New York will get their heads out of their ass and recall him. It’s possible. I checked on it.
Sorry, you are confusing.
So Muslims are not Marxists but Mamdani the Muslim is a Marxist. Clear as mud.
And now you think 19 terrorists and four planes would have defeated us except for Bush. Uh, the core was a few hundred with maybe 35,000 loosely knit jihadists. Yeah, sure. I worked Wall Street then, was in and around the WTC often, not that day though and it was scary for sure. Still remember like yesterday.
Still not sure you even know what a Marxist is. Mamdani may have some Marxist concepts embedded in his progressive platform, but the only Marxists you will find are in communist countries.
You guys just toss it around because You can’t call Euro Socialist anymore. They are in the past too. But it appears you can’t define beyond the label.
Given I’m probably the biggest capitalist around here, gives me a chuckle seeing you guys scream Marxists as you line up for unemployment, SNAP, Medicare, and Social Security.
Fyi: 3q great for me. 4q harvesting to lower marginal tax rate. Capitalism at its finest. Time to expense a new laptop. My screen is smudged and I need to write down some profits. Marxist, that’s rich.
.
Dunger you can bet your ass that Al gore would not have engaged the radicals. But speaking of the mayor, he ran and campaigned as a socialist democrat. And we all know that their agenda is based on Marxism. Yes, Muslims can be Marxists. The same goes for Methodist and freewill baptists. It’s rare but they can be Marxists too. I once knew a minister who was as left wing as you Sometimes I don’t think you know what you believe. But hang in there. We will enlighten you.
Blankashit: it was a nice conversation before you went dick-ish with the name calling. Why mutter in the gutter? You think I am left wing, but that’s wrong too. I am a Clintonian Democrat, liberal on the social issues, conservative on monetary issues. Try to get it right, son. Find us a Baptist or Methodist Marxist. I am betting crickets just as you can’t explain why you believe Democrats are Marxists.
How can you know who is a Marxist when you don’t seem to know what Marxism is? If you bothered to looked at the definitions, you might discover that Marxists are a type of socialism, but socialists are not Marxists.
Just like all Republicans are not deplorables, but all deplorables are Republicans. Or all Republicans are not racists, but all modern day racists are Republicans.
On thing is pure: everyone who stormed the Capitol to piss n blankenshit all over the place were deplorable and Republican.
Gee, fun game you made up, thanks.
PS; are you dinging Gore for his service in Vietnam? Gore voted for the Persian Gulf War, he presided from Congress over the unanimous vote to enter Afghanistan, you don’t have a clue about what you sav since he voted for war a few times, against terrorism.
Need I remind you who missed Bin Laden, who got him, and who started the forever wars. Oops, here we go again. Might as well kiss those mid-terms away.
And Mamdani is a Democrat first, Democratic Socialist second. Andy while he may incorporate some ideas thought of as Marxist; he is most certainly not a Marxist. You are trapped in a history that you know little about. You brand many as Marxists but can’t explain why. Just blank-as-shit.
Keep telling yourself that shit and you will believe it. As for social liberalism, that shit is the cause of people running schools trying to undermine the parent’s rights. And under age girls who can have abortions without telling the parents. And then there’s the constant attacks on the 2nd amendment while violent felons are being released with either low or no bail. And again when they are rearested. And yes, I know what Marxist ideology is. And I hear it about Everytime democrats open their mouths.
Still not sure you even know what a Marxist is. We do understand you have a list of WHO they are.
“And then there’s the constant attacks on the 2nd amendment while violent felons are being released with either low or no bail.” Hemm, like the 1/6/2021 cop beaters? Son, I think your stand on releasing dangerous felons is pretty weak tea against YOUR pardons.
While my social problems are liberal, your “definition” includes nothing that I support. Not one thing. Again, you know WHO is on your liist, you just cannot define whay a marxist, and now liberal on social issues means. Appears you are more than willing to guess.
Dunger the jan6 patriots sent a message. Don’t fuck with a bull or you will get the horn. A Marxist mostly believes that the government is superior to the people and that we should look to them for our needs. So come on. Give us your definition.
Sethisdung: Happy belated Insurrection Day, for all you patriots cheering the assault on Congress where over 140 cops brutalized by a crazed Republican mob and four years later, all pardoned for their sins a short time later by the man who sent em, your guy, Mr. America himself, the King of Law and Order, Donald J Trump. Raise a fifth to the fifth year since the Insurrection. Over 1,500 were freed, free, free at last to prey upon our society without a hint of recrimination, much less justice. At least the seditionary elements were only commuted, thus the conviction stands. The 140 cops must feel so proud of the rule of law. America First. MAGA. Seth is right; they were called patriots and rewarded for their actions. Wonder how they used this miraculous second chance.
Pamela Hemphill is a patriot who turned down the pardon, said she did it, she apologized to the police and thanked them for saving her from Seth’s out of control patriots trampling, and took her punishment, like a patriot stands for all we believe. *https://www.facebook.com/newshour/videos/watch-pamela-hemphill-who-rejected-a-pardon-for-her-part-in-the-jan-6-attack-on-/1881735982442020/* My own father returned and refused his disability checks from WWII; these are patriots Sethissung. He simply said: “the other boys need it more.” I gotta admit; I do not understand this type of patriotism, this kind of sacrifice. I do understand Seth though.
In honor of the day, like Seth, his King whitewashed history putting his spin on the day from the bully pulpit blaming Democrats and the Capitol Police and claiming he was the hero of the day as he waited, and waited, for over 2.5 hours before the guard arrived as he munched on burgers, tossed them at the wall when upset, and kept calm, waiting, watching as they tore into the cops and the Capitol. Multiple sources say the call to the Guard came from Pence, who was under guard fearful for his own safety. You gotta admit: there would be no 1/6/2021 without Trump, and for him to claim credit as hero of the day is beyond delusional, beyond demented. It’s Republican. How long is the list of Republican leaders who condemned the rioters day one, and defended their actions a few days or weeks later.
The Big Lie lives on and Setheatsthisdung loves it. He calls them patriots sending a message. The message was excrement and urine left at the Capitol as these patriots didn’t have the brains to find a bathroom. I have a single digit reply that even a digital rapist can understand. ..!..
In honor of the day, we reprise “do the Hawley,”think the sound track being “Do the Hustle.” *https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByWvdGJ8CwM* Priceless Sethisdung-like patriotism in full gear as he runs like a little girl to the full rear.
As of today, with more coming tomorrow, over 33 of these proud MAGA symbols of America First have been rearrested, charged, or sentenced for other crimes since the date of the attack. That’s like 3 every month, almost one a week, creating further havoc across our nation. Thanks, Don. Like Sethisdung: patriots all. The boys in blue are so proud to serve. New “alleged” crimes include; child sexual assault, kidnapping, homicide, rape, conspiracy to commit murder of FBI agents, assassination plans, and illegal possession of firearms. All of this could have been avoided: twice now. Some of the Sethlovesdung’ top patriotic hits, pun intended, follow:
Christopher Moynihan threatened to murder Hakeem Jeffries in October 2025.
Andrew Paul Johnson, arrested in Florida for allegedly molesting an 11-year-old boy.
Daniel Ball, who, after his Jan. 6 federal case was dismissed due to the pardon, was immediately rearrested on a separate, pending charge related to unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Edward Kelley, now serving a life sentence on unrelated charges not covered by the Jan. 6 pardon. A Trump pardon already got life. Good vetting.
John Andries convicted in June for following the mother of his child in violation of a court order. He was arrested for beating another cop in 2022. A repeat patriot.
Brent Holdridge charged with burglary.
Zach Alam charged with breaking and entering.
Matthew Huttle was killed during a traffic stop when he reportedly resisted arrest and was armed. A tragedy that never should have happened. That cop did not need to be put at risk; there’s your patriot, Sethdung.
Nathan Pelham fired on police when they arrested him. Again, Setheatsdung, is 180-degrees wrong on patriotism hating liberals and cops alike.
Joshua Dillon Haynes Malicious charged with bodily injury, strangling, in his assault on a family member in furtherance of destruction of property. At least he kept his patriotism in the family.
Alan Michael St. Onge is a patriot MAGA rioter arrested for punching a women in the throat for not acceding to his sexual advances. Come on girls, they’re patriots. Smellslikedung says so.
Andrew Taake solicited a child as a Sethdung patriot. Probably claim he’s just recruiting to the MAGA cause like Seth. What message here, Sethdung?
David Daniel nabbed for possession of child pornography and sexual exploitation of a minor.
Theodore Middendorf allegedly sexual assaulted a child.
Kyle Travis Colton for child pornography,
Kene Brian Lazo for aggravated sexual battery of a child under 13.
Emily Hernandez Dui’d someone to death.
Shane Jason Woods Dui’d someone to death too by head on when driving the wrong way: the MAGA way.
Rheiner: drugs. Herrington: rape. Pastucci: rape/assault. Kelly: attempted murder of police who arrested him: gotta love the focus.
So, raise your glass to our pardoned patriots and celebrate Trump Insurrection Day. As the prophet David Jones once said: “We’ve got five years, stuck on my eyes. Five years, what a surprise.” Are you not entertained?
Dunger your crowd are cheering on the attacks against ICE agents for upholding the law. At least our patriots were trying to stop the steal. And yes, the steal was real. Can I prove it? No. Too many corrupt politicians and judges on both sides are covering up the corruption. Hell yes they are guilty. But Trump showed you people. And he’s found his footing among lies and false charges. But know this. The truth is coming out, especially in Georgia. Put the word out. Don’t try to steal anymore elections.
Smellethlikedung: Are you really attempting to defend Republican actions, Trump actions, on 1/6/2021 by saying “what about ICE attacks?” Who can I beat up because ICE has transgressed the law? Is that how your “patriotism” works now in the time of MAGA?
“My crowd?” Whatever do you even mean? How delusional. How deplorable that would be. Now, if you mean Democrats, you are wrong. I do not see any of our leaders calling for violence. Yet. I do see community organizing, legal advocacy, and direct “Know Your Rights” (KYR) actions. Frankly, I think it’s you guys that provide the training and the tools for responding to attacks by masked men without badges or warrants. YOu told us to be armed and defend our homes against all strangers.
Your crowd, specifically the Department of No One Home Noem, quotes a 1,000% increase in ICE attacks. She’s a big fat liar. NPR, and many other sources say: 25% increase. Methinks the lady proteSeth too much. As is her way: lie. Lie a lot. And when they catch you, cover your lie with another lie.
You earned some respect on this one. You gotta respect a guy who defends cop beating by pointing out cop beatings for his defense. I think all cop beatings heinous. At least my cops had faces, badges, and uniforms and reported to the people and the Constitution. Not some paramilitary hit squad in Halloween costumes reporting to one man, the King.
And the big un attack against ICE in Texas netted 15 suspects, so, go at them to the full extent of the laws that you normally overlook now. I cheer not for any political violence of any nature by any citizen. Unlike your patriotisms, I do not forgive any ICE attacks because of what Republicans did on 1/6/2021, and got away with voiding the rule of law on 1/6/2021. And your belief in the Big Lie while you admit no evidence is remarkable. Delusional.
Over 65 court cases you miserably lost. Sometimes they just tossed you without a hearing; you are that bad. Defines insanity of your delusional King. Over a half dozen recounts, most by your own people, you miserably lost. More insanity by the delusional. You do know we pay for all this; you do know that if you touch a voting machine, we pay for the new ones. Your side is a total waste, and you support this waste. You are waste incarnate. Millions of taxpayer dollars wasted.
Then the schmucks practiced at a half dozen stat capitols to learn there lessons for their attack on our Capitol. That’s on us, for not noticing.
ICE does not uphold the law, they void the Constitution. They don’t even follow their own stated goals of going after “the worst of the worst.” The suspend habeas corpus, use warrantless arrests, trap the innocent with the suspected guilty and waste billions to go after misdemeanors.
“At least our patriots were trying to stop the steal. And yes, the steal was real. Can I prove it? No.” Remarkable craziness, with your “proof” being a “rigged system.” And you hold them guilty because you can’t prove it. Just amazing lunacy logic. Hey, we proved the Republican’s guilty, even seditious conspiracy and that verdict still holds.
Georgia: yeah, having dumped Willlis and putting your toadie in power, you will win, or delay this. You tell me, his lawyers pled guilty, said they were in the room and will testify against him, and you say: bogus. You don’t even want to hear their story in a court of law. That’s Republican law and odor.
