    Technically, it was the Trump administration, not the Biden, and that attempt was weird even to the Republicans weird standards. One would think if they really wanted him gone, the CIA would be involved, not just some weird ass mercenary group no one has heard of (Silvercorp)

    I have to ask: Do you honestly think Maduro won the election, though?

      Technically, it was the Trump administration

      With bipartisan support in Congress. Passed a nearly unanimous in both chambers bill recognizing Guaido as “the real president”.

      Pelosi even held a press conference “thanking him for his courage” 🙄

        Passing a bill recognizing something isn’t even remotely planning and executing a coup. These idiots wanted to become the next Blackwater or whatever Prince is calling those fuckers nowadays. The CIA even told them that if they went through with it, they were on their own.

        With all the massive fuckups the Trump administration committed, at least the CIA had the sense to not touch this with a 30ft pole.

      Nice attempt. Recognizing Guaidó was bipartisan . So yes, the same people
