    Socialist Americans living comfortably in their homes eating at least 3 meals a day are against the U.S aiding the starving Venezuelans. If you guys needed any more proof why socialism/ progressivism is cancer.

    They were horrified by the last US aiding, to the Iraqis. The non-cancer, powder-faker conservatives killed more than 100000 people there.
    I will pick cancer, less killing, less spending.

    Humanitarian aid is not an invasion. btw many Venezuelans welcome the U.S intervention. The way they see it is it can't get any worse than it already is.

    It certainly doesn't disprove it.

    Typical, prove our slanders are lies and the truth isn’t what it appears when it comes to people who we protect. It is bizarro world.

    The same people who don't want to send aid to Venezuela are the same people that want to take this away from you.

    This is what is trying to be sent to Venezuela

    If you can overthrow a country with the latter, they need to be overthrown

    I really hope the USA does not intervene militarily. I was glad Trump wants to pull out of Syria Afghanistan but not to steer them into Venezuela. Hopefully Venezuela military will just switch their support away from Maduro.

    I think it's bad form for the US to publically take sides in another countries power struggle.

    Imagine Russians taking the side of Republicans here in the US?

    Stupidity: Where you post stupid photoshops because you think it makes a good point.

    Capitalism: Where you go bankrupt with medical bills even if you have insurance
    Socialism: Where you get medical care without going bankrupt.

    Capitalism: Where the homeless are largely made up of veterans.
    Socialism: Where they spend their money on helping people rather than buying bombs and aircraft carriers.


    We could do this all day

    I get you're point but you couldn't be more wrong. Government funded programs are NOT Socialism. Otherwise Military/DOD would be socialism as well. Calling them such actually hurts progressive helpful programs because the conservatives and plebs are terrified of the s-word. Bottom line, taxes are generated from private capital so government programs are NOT Socialism. Don't repeat, spread, the lie. In fact, when you hear someone incorrectly identify them as such, correct them so the nonsense will end.

    Military intervention would be a most excellent way to divert attention away from any upcoming investigative report being released.

    Except you haven't proven anything anyone said was a lie.
