I don't like AIPAC. But with rising antisemitism, especially among the Left, they are justified in their existence.

There are numerous example of Presidents doing this, including Obama. Maduro was wanted. Venezuelans will be better off. Sad that Democrats refused to stand with our friend and allies, and prefer a dictator in power. Everyone is happy besides China, Putin, Cuba, Iran, Democrats.

I am a Liberal. I wish Dems defended our Venezuelan allies in the summer of 2024 when they were being raped, killed, tortured by our enemies. Yes, the US has a mixture of success and failure. I pray for success for the Venezuelan people, even if it has to come thru Trump since Dems are weak.

Please show me that Thomas Paine would be siding with Maduro over the Venezuelan people? Maduro was an illegitimate tyrant committing crimes against humanity on an unarmed population asking for help. Democrats failed to take Maduro seriously and help our allies, leaving Trump to deal with him.

I honestly do not think we will be invading those countries, but I understand the rhetoric can lead to this belief.

No. Name "any other"? Who is at risk? Who is doing what Maduro is doing?

Dems4Maduro is vile. Dems had a chance to defend our unarmed allies from oppression, but did nothing when they were killed, raped, kidnapped, and tortured. Dems left the Maduro problem for GOP to solve and all they do now is complain. They were never this mad about crimes against humanity.

Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 04/01/2026
Many of us are happy that Maduro is gone. Dems are radicalizing themselves over this rather than standing with the Venezuelan people. Masks are off.

Dems needled Bush with Noriega by calling him "soft" and "weak". Dems once showed strength against narco-dictators, election nullification, and crimes against humanity. No upset over Maduro's removal. Panama was Bush. Granada was Reagan. Others were FDR and Truman. Your point?

Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 04/01/2026
Removing Maduro with such little resources and not a single American life lost will be Trump's best policy first. I wish things were better domestically, but this is good.

Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 04/01/2026
Panama, South Korea, Granada, Germany, Japan all worked out. Maduro forced this on himself. And Dems did nothing when our unarmed allies were raped, killed, kidnapped, tortured. Dems help create this situation as well, leaving the solution to the GOP.

You never see deranged leftists protesting when Maduro stole an election and oppressed our unarmed allies while he raped, killed, kidnapped, and tortured them into submission and mass diaspora.

Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 04/01/2026
Democrats are radicalizing themselves over Maduro's removal. Their masks are off. They never showed this much outrage when Maduro stole elections, committed crimes against humanity, and forced mass diaspora with the help of our enemies.

Harris sat idly by in the summer of 2024 when our unarmed allies fought with wooden shields and slingshot to defend their democracy that Biden promised them while they were raped, killed, kidnapped, and tortured. Biden released Maduro's family, top man, and sanction relief for more suffering.

Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
Sure, but I thought the Left cared about marginalized people who are being oppressed, tortured, kidnapped, raped, killed, starved and being subjected to tyranny. Instead they attack Venezuelans only hope of freedom. It is black pilling and sad to see. There is no support from the Left. Scolding
100
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
By completely attacking the only opposition with contextual untruths to erode support for a free Venezuela. Venezuelans are being killed, tortured, kidnapped, raped, starved, and oppressed and many on the Left are making false realities. MCM seeks allies for a free Venezuela. Do you understand?
100
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
You either side with Maduro or Venezuela Freedom. There is no grey area on this. Venezuelans are being brutally oppressed and need help. And so many simply do not care. It is sad and black pilling.

Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
Venezuelans are starving, being raped, tortured, killed, kidnapped, and hopeless and unarmed. And all the Left can do is lecture and complain about Trump. This is not about Trump, but taking a moral stance against brutality and oppression. The Left scolds and lecture. It is sad. Black pilling.

Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
I am not a snowflake. There is zero meaningful support for Venezuela. Many are sad today. They cannot even openly express & celebrate Machado's Prize today without fear. Many do not even want to talk about it on WhatsApp. They see Maria being called a RWer, Puppet, Imperialist. It hurts them.
000
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
What do you do if you a Venezuelan and Machado? The world has provided ZERO support for Venezuelans. Trump is all they have or they face perpetual oppression. If you get to know Venezuelans, they just want their homes and country back. I have walked with them. Help some escape.

Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
I do not like Trump, but Maduro stole & pillaged Venezuelan for himself against an unarmed populace. With the diaspora, about 90% of Venezuelans support the rightful president, Edmundo Gonzalez and Machado. As an oppressed Venezuela, your choice is Trump doing something or Maduro's oppression.
100
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
Trump is their only hope for freedom. I am not validating Trump, but stating objective fact. Maduro stole the election. He won't step down peacefully or accept safe asylum. Venezuelans are unarmed. I would praise Trump if I was a Venezuelan who wanted freedom. They is no other alternative.
100
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
There is literally no Left-Right dichotomy like that in the Venezuelan mindset. Venezuelans are only "far right" simply because they want their country back from an illegitimate dictator. Trump is their only hope. They have no one else. Or they face perpetual oppression.
000
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
If you are a Venezuelan who wants freedom from Maduro, your entire hope relies on Trump. This is not validating Trump, but it does not make you an Imperialist. The Left won't support Venezuelan freedom in anyway. They don't care, like many.
100
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
Wrong. No one supports Venezuelan freedoms, and certainly not the Left in any meaningful way. Venezuelans voted for Maria & Edmundo by a wide margin. The relationship with Bibi came about when Chavez supported Iran and terrorist orgs, like Hezbelloh. Venezuelans just want their country back.
100
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
Sadly, Trump is the only hope for Venezuelans facing brutal oppression from the Maduro regime. Millions have fled as their country was stolen from them through oppression, rape, kidnapping, killings, torture, and starvation as Maduro takes Venezuela for his own. Who else to Venezuelans have?
010
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
Nothing wrong about them. You can't blame the sanctions for the torturing, kidnapping, killing, raping, and oppressing Venezuelans as Maduro plunders their oil and other natural resources. No one on the Left offers any meningeal support or hope for Venezuelan facing brutal oppression.
100
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
Maduro already steals their oil as millions of Venezuelans starve and face oppression. 1 out of 4 Venezuelans have already fled their homes. Maduro stole the election. Maria and Edumundo were voted in. They want their country back. The Left offers no support for a Liberated Venezuela.
100
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
Maduro can end his easily by peacefully stepping and giving Venezuela back to the people. Maduro is the one stealing oil. Maria sought alliances with Bibi when Chavez cut ties to support Iran and terrorist orgs, like Hezbollah. Venezuelans just want their freedoms and country back.

Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
It is so black pilling watching Leftists not only support an evil and oppressive dictator, but literally attack the only person who brings any meaningful hope to the millions of Venezuelans who want their freedoms back.
000
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
People are literally scoffing, scolding, and undermining. Venezuelans have ZERO meaningful support against a brutal dictator who has raped, killed, starved, kidnapped, tortured, and starved to oppression and mass diaspora. Maduro can end this by peacefully transferring power.
100
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
I disagree with that. But put yourself in the shoes of a Venezuelan who is starving, surviving, or fleeing. Maduro refuses to peacefully step down or accept asylum. No one is helping Venezuelans. No one is supporting them. Trump is their only hope. Name another supporter or path to freedom.
100
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
Trump is the only one taking any meaningful action against Maduro. The Left is literally mocking, scoffing, scolding, undermining and even attacking Maria Machado, who is the only symbol of hope for probably 25+ million Venezuelans who want their country back. I wish things were different.
100
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
There is zero mention of Maria Machado and her fight against brutal oppression of the illegitimate Maduro regime. Hardly any Dems support or even care about the Venezuelan people. They sat back and watched her be attacked all day by their base.
100
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
It is the sad truth. Maduro is an evil man who has stolen the country and freedoms of the Venezuelan people. They are helpless. The only person in the world right now taking any action is Trump. The Left literally scoffs and scolds. Venezuelans are being oppressed. Their country stolen.

Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
Code Pink openly supports Maduro. A regime who rapes, tortures, kidnaps, kills, and starves unarmed Venezuelans as he steals a country that does not belong to him. You can't honestly say Venezuela belongs to Maduro. He is a monster.
100
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
Code Pink openly endorses Maduro. Maduro rapes, kidnaps, kills, tortures unarmed Venezuelans as he steals a country that does not belong to him. Do you honestly believe Venezuela belongs to Maduro? No one the Left support the freedoms of the Venezuelan people.
000
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
Trump is the strongest supporter of Venezuelan freedom. Maria will do what she can to liberate her unarmed people from oppression and tyranny. Who else does Venezuelans have? There are ZERO people Left who support the freedoms of Venezuelans.
200
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
If Maduro does not peacefully transfer power, what other options are there? Just let him steal a country that is not his while he brutalizes and oppresses unarmed Venezuealans. If you were Venezuelan, you would want Maduro removed too.
100
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
Of course she does, as well as Venezuelans. Maduro stole their country. They are an unarmed populace that has been raped, tortured, kidnapped, killed, and starved into oppression and mass diaspora. If you were Venezuelan, you would want Maduro removed too. Maduro is an evil man.
100
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
Maduro can peacefully step down any time he likes. Venezuela is not his. He has been offered safety and asylum. Chavez supports Iran and Hezbollah. Maries sought people, including Israel, who oppose Maduro. Why do you defend Maduro's brutalization?
200
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
I have made up my mind. And you guys are calling everyone Far Right who opposes Maduro. Maduro is an evil and brutal dictator who has stolen and pillage a country that does not belong to him, forcing millions of Venezuelans into starvation and diaspora. Not many Venezuelans agree with you.
100
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
When Leftists sided with Chavez who severed ties with Israel to support Iran and terrorist groups, like Hezbollah, Maria naturally sought ties and people who oppose Maduro. There is no one on on the Left who supports Venezuelan freedom.
200
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
And did Cair say why? When Leftists were busy supporting Chavez, Chavez was severing ties with Israel to support Iran and terrorist orgs like Hezbelloh. Maria naturally sought allies for her people. The Likud Party become a natural ally due to the Left. No one on the Left supports Venezuela.
100
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
Wrong. When Leftists were busy supporting Chavez who sided with Iran and supporting terrorists like Hezbelloh, Maria natural sought ties with Bibi. All her support is from the Right. There is no where safe in the world to be anti-Maduro and pro-Venezuela and receive strong Leftist support.

Not one bit, but she is fighting fascism.

Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
I have done my research on her, walked among the diaspora, gotten to know many Venezuelans, and helped some improve their lives outside of Maduro's tyranny and brutalization.

Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
Maria is not a Trump supporting CIA asset. She is the will of the Venezuelan people. Trump is Venezuela's strongest supporter. The Left does not support the Venezuelan people and sides with a brutal and oppressive dictator. There is no where on the Left that is safe for Venezuelan freedoms.
000
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
You cannot support the freedom and democracy for the Venezuelan people without the Left undermining or outright attack you. You are literally pushed in to being Far Right for supporting the removal of an evil man. No one on the Left supports removing Maduro & actively attack those who do.
311
Thomas Paine @commsense1776.bsky.social · 11/10/2025
Maria and the the nation of the Venezuelan people seek support. And guess what? Trump is the strongest supporter. What do you and unarmed Venezeulans who want nothing more to be free of Maduro do? The Left will not support Venezuelan freedoms. They only strengthen Maduro & attack Maria.
