You have people who can’t even afford a loaf of bread there and then you have the US president jetting around in a high-class private jet.
Yea that line really stuck out to me. As always it's 
I guess Maduro should just take the bus when attending to matters of state, just like every president.
Look you can be a "comrade" but ONLY if you live in a carbord box, wear a burlap bag for clothes, and do the Little Timmy "Please Sir, may I have some more?" Meme so we can laugh at you while we criminalize you for being poor.
"Get to the back of the bus. You're not the bus driver anymore."
That stuck out like a sore thumb
illegally purchased for $13 million
lol that has to be literally the cheapest private jet imaginable and they have the gall to call it "high-class" while the US president jets around with a 747 and motorcade vehicles, and they're planning to replace their 747 with a new plane.
Also the Dominican Republic has such a pathetic ruling class.
they're planning to replace their 747 with a new plane.
Boeing take my energy
Please be a 737 Max
Now I'm sad Biden is going away because we're never going to hear him call it a 737 Mack 
Edit: Sebenthurby-Set Mack
That's less than 10% of what Uncle Sam paid Boeing to develop plans for the next generation Air Force one plane.
“We see these officials and the Maduro regime basically fleecing the Venezuelan people for their own gain,” the US official said.
Quick question how much does tax calculation software cost?
Considering the electoral college exists and America effectively has 1 party, Venezuala should take Air Force One after the next American election. The election wasn't free or fair afterall.
I was thinking that too when I saw this on CNN. And make Biden and Harris fly coach.
Fascist cold war bullshit
I think this is the money quote: "no one is above the reach of US sanctions"
I think The Powers That Be are getting a little antsy after sanctions failed to bring financial collapse to the Russian state and are looking for ways to make examples.
Merrick Garland heart failure challenge
“You have people who can’t even afford a loaf of bread there and then you have the president of Venezuela jetting around in a high-class private jet.”
Lol
Please hurry up xi
China is building thier own planes now. Be funny if they gift Maduro a plane if only to spite the
Remember to 
for harm reduction while we do laughably stupid childish stunts from idiotic sanctions....I mean "RULES BASED ORDER" that 
did.
Piracy
Remember when Luka did this and everyone lost their shit?
Venezuala should take Air Force One after the next American election
I don't know if Venazuala has the ability to do that. It's obviously more of a "because we can" sort of thing.
Vanazuala wouldn't be able to respond in kind without a war arising over it.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
