I'm starting to wonder if all this started with Trump seeing the first part of the 'Who Shot Mr. Burns?' episodes from the Simpsons, with Burns building the slanted rig to siphon the oil from under the elementary school, and somehow conflated that with Maduro.
Trump on Venezuela: "They took all of our oil and we want it back. They illegally took it."

It's times like this that remind me of a bit from Dana Gould for a long ways back about his dad 'will invent racial hatreds he didn't even know existed'. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNo2... Except that was obviously meant to be funny, and this is just infuriating.

I am a comfortable, influential PhD and published author and broadcaster, and I don’t understand why people of color buying a snack at Cinnabon don’t just reason with the person shouting racial slurs at them, for the good of World Socialism.

To paraphrase the late, great Bill Hicks, 'But there's no connection! There's no connection between raising tarrifs on goods coming into the country and what people end up paying for them... and not raising tarrifs and people not paying more.'

Hey, everyone, the psychopathic moron version of King Midas thinks everyone can do with less stuff. Pass it on.
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

I'm guessing 'Great Value Lex Luthor' here comes from a world where grocery stores change the price of food depending on how hungry you are, since that's the only way this otherwise painfully dumbassed take makes sense.
Rick Scott on the GOP healthcare plan: "We do food stamps that way. We don't give the money to a grocery store. Let's not give it to an insurance company. Then grocery store says, 'Oh, here's what I'm gonna give you. You're gonna get a lot more broccoli this week.' No. Let's give it to the family"

Frith above, Jennifer Tilly in the third season of 'Chucky' likely had it harder than Maxwell, and she at least had fucking voodoo involved.
The fix is in.
Ghislaine Maxwell, transferred to a club med prison after Trump's lawyer met with her (and she likely spilled what she knows about Trump), is now being waited on "hand and foot" by guards and is getting her commutation application ready with help from the warden.

Yeah, certainly would suck to be in a country where a bunch of assholes purportedly with a popular religion are really dogmatic about converting others, and make them live under their specific code of conduct. But thank goodness that's not the case, right?
