Food of the Socialist Gods
While flamingo hunting is both illegal and uncommon in the South American nation, investigators from Zulia University in the northwestern Venezuelan city of Maracaibo have noted at least 20 cases of bird carcasses being discovered with their breasts and torsos removed. And flamingos aren't the only unusual animal to become a victim of Venezuela's worsening food crisis. Remains of everything from dogs and cats to donkeys and even giant anteaters have been found in garbage bags at city dumps around the country. "Sometimes we only find the animal's heads, guts and legs. We used to see this very little in the past, but this practice is now out of control and on the rise," Robert Linares, a Maracaibo waste disposal worker, told the Miami Herald. Linares added he recently found on the street the remains of a dog that had been skinned and dismembered.

Viva socialism!! Viva communism!!
American snowflake and cupcake rioters who are clamoring for socialism or communism should be deported to Venezuela and never be allowed to return. Send them to the "paradise" they so long for.

Apparently, garbage bags are still free there.

Socialism; it's not just for breakfast anymore.

Yeah, that got me too. Garbage bags? Taking it to the dump? Truly poor would have eaten everything and thrown the rest in the neighbors yard.

I haven't seen the fundraising/food drive notices from Sean Penn, Keven Spacey, Oliver Stone, Danny Glover, and Michael Moore. I guess I subscribe to the wrong mailing lists.
And weren't there a bunch of Congressional Democrats who favored Chavez and Venezuela? Or did that stop after Chavez died? No legislation initiated to feed the poor Venezuelans?

Cannibalism will surely follow if it isn't already happening. Wouldn't rule that out for a second

It always reminds me of that photo of Obama grinning and doing a fist bump with Hugo Chavez. You just know that Obama always wished that he could be to the US what Chavez was to Venezuela. And if we had just let Obama have his way, we too could be enjoying the prosperity that the people of Venezuela now revel in. What an opportunity missed. (/sarc)

Hang their leaders and crawl naked over five yards of broken glass to beg President Trump for rescue.
Five yards sound about right?
