So… in Venezuela, Juan Guaido, a rightist “opposition” leader<\/a> <\/strong>who’d never actually run in the recent Presidential election, just out of nowhere declares himself “Interim President” <\/a>and swears himself in, and the US is apparently ready to support this doorknob in a coup attempt against Nicolas Maduro, a Bolivarist who actually ran for President, won the election, and was actually sworn in as the actual President this past week.<\/p>\n

Just so we’re clear on that, folks, next time CNN or somebody drops another “bombshell” about the Russians “meddling” in our “elections”.<\/p>\n

Speaking of which, why the hell didn’t Hillary<\/em> think of this? Why didn’t she<\/em> just swear herself in? Cripes, she wouldn’t quit screaming about how she won the goddamn popular vote; why couldn’t she rustle up Lawrence Lessig or Laurence Tribe or one of those other Harvard Law knobs to administer the oath and just swear her own<\/strong> insufferable ass in?<\/em><\/p>\n

Emoluments, 25th Amendment, Russia, bah! Have Ruth Bader Ginsburg swear her in on a copy of In Takes A Village,<\/em> get Macron, May, and a couple of other EU neoliberal Blue Meanies to recognize her, and badda-bing, El Presidente.<\/p>\n
