And yes, Martin is admittedly left leaning.

Are you telling me that it's a vast conspiracy that the ICC is being asked to investigate Maduro for crimes against humanity? That 4 million people have fled Venezuela and flooded Columbia, Peru, etc.? Why would CNN, BBC, etc. exaggerate what is going on in Venezuela?
Even if it isn't as bad as the establishment media is making it out to be, do you honestly think the migrants at the border are being treated worse treatment than your average Venezuelan citizen? How can a person of character and integrity in good conscience criticize what is happening at the US border but turn a blind eye to Venezuela?

Re: AOC = Liberal Goddess
Last I heard, AOC was a part of our government so yes I'm suspicious of our government. I like pointing out the hypocrisy of politicians who criticize the opposition but go blind, deaf and dumb when it comes to similar and worse actions by leaders at the same end of the spectrum. Conks and Donks both do it.kalm wrote:I don’t really care but I also don’t swallow the establishment media reporting 100% either.

Honestly though, I set this bait hoping to snag Trip or Jelly into some ethical gymnastics as they attempted to show how AOC wasn't a hypocritical buffoon (just like Trump). Can you type something interesting? Maybe you can be the bluegill that takes the worm but attracts the muskie.

It would also require AOC to openly admonish a socialist country. We all know socialist countries are Utopias that get a bad rap.
