10. 'hoping?'

...lol.

I'm hoping that the courts and the juries put the finger on this political prosecution, and make waste of Trump's false projections about 'invasions' by 'drug gangs' and the rest of the banal propaganda he's using in his attempt to acquire Venezuela like any good vulture capitalist might - firing everyone and selling off all of the assets.

Little problem... Venezuela doesn't belong to Trump or the American people who are financing his takeover venture.

And, there's the pesky problem of resistance to U.S. imperialism in countries like Venezuela in which presidents decades ago declared would be treated as friends, not acquisitions.

We've seen this movie before.

What are you hoping for in all of that?
