From today's Guardian Newspaper:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/apr/21/venezuela-el-salvador-bukele-maduro-prisoners
To see a president of the United States mentioned in the same sentence with Maduro and Bukele is absolutely repulsive to me.
tRump and his cronies have taken the United States from being a beacon of light and hope for the world to just another black hole of authoritarianism.
We The People have to end this slide into evil and wrestle our democracy back from these thugs.
