Great discussion from Professor Lipson. Did anyone see the dismantling of Margaret Brennan from Marc Rubio the other day? She looked like a someone taking the Walk Of Shame on New Year’s Morning after waking up in someones bed who she can’t remember the name of. If it weren’t for makeup personnel her mascara and lipstick would have been smeared all over her face. She got spanked so badly she’s still eating her dinner laying on her belly. And thats a polite euphimism. I’m going to answer for Marc Rubio when she asked why Trump didn’t go after the rest of Maduros henchmen. Here’s the answer. Maduro was warned to leave the country to friendly sanctuary countries weeks BEFORE we had to go get him. The same offer is being extended to the dictators army and political cronies BEFORE we have to go in to get them. They will be leaving to hide in friendly countries who want the money they’ve heisted from the Venezuelans. Trump is in this for the long game and knows that rats scurry when being hunted. They will leave soon without any American blood being shed. Genius move by Trump…
BTW …its been announced that Switzerland banks have frozen Maduros bank accounts. My guess is probably BILLIONS of dollars are stashed there. Just in case our Freedom Fighting Democrats are still spewing the bullshit of him being ” El Presidente” as legit.
