Venezuelans clash with police after disputed election result

[Hume]

Security forces in Venezuela have fired tear gas and rubber bullets against people protesting over Sunday’s disputed election result.

Thousands of people descended on central Caracas on Monday evening, some walking for miles from slums on the mountains surrounding the city, towards the presidential palace.

Protests erupted in the Venezuelan capital the day after President Nicolás Maduro claimed he had won.

Argentina is one country which has refused to recognise President Maduro's election victory, and in response Venezuela recalled diplomats from Buenos Aires.

Diplomats from six other Latin American countries - Chile, Costa Rica, Panama, Peru, the Dominican Republic and Uruguay - have also been withdrawn for what Foreign Affairs Minister Yvan Gil described on social media as "interventionist actions and statements".

Venezuelans can't do violence like Americans can.

Yes, like Trump's organized attack on Jan. 6, seriously injuring 150 cops.

That was but a small drop in a big bucket compared to what will happen if Democrats cheat another election, and they left the guns at home that time.

Oh, you're one of those Trump suckers who want fascism.

Fascism's already here, girl. I want it dialed back or eliminated.

Trumpers are evil, lying scum with big mouths that blow hot air and nothing else.

You bitches learned the hard way on J6.

Maybe Trump will pull a Jim Jones on every last one of his MAGA cult followers.

That would eliminate it PDQ.

And MAGA would finally be more than just a cheesy bullshit slogan.

Trump is a fascist.

Trump has been casual about voting because he has plans for total power no matter what happens in the vote. Not that he does not have nefarious plans to win. A person has a right to protest a person's vote at the precinct. The vote is set aside until the voter can resolve the protest. I read that Trump has 44,000 volunteers who are preparing to do that.
Are you tired of winning yet?
