The extreme right or extreme left should never be given too much power: See Pinochet in Chile or Hugo Chavez & his succesors in Venezuela.

Thats why when i hear people wanting every republican or democrat voted out, it bugs me, one party having 90% control would never be a good thing, once one side gets that much power they stop listening to the people who elected them & start serving their own interests & moving in different directions, then they try to change the rules in a power grab move.

People are filling the streets in Venezuela demanding Maduro step down. They're being met with government forces, tear gas, the works.

Reuters is reporting that Juan Guaido has sworn himself in as interim president. He is the president of the National Assembly.

 

Trump administration could recognize the head of Venezuela’s opposition as the country’s legitimate president as early as Wednesday - @Reuters

No, he has an unique way of learning about different countries.

I'd like to laugh.  But most Angels fans probably learned Venezuela was a country and not related to Valenzuela due to Ralshton Schmidt.

I'm sure it's a coincidence that they are a large petroleum exporter.
