I'll be the first in line to tell you that Trump is 'wheels off' when he talks.

But Trump is so bad ass when it comes to the love of this country and his refusal to accept anything less than democracy in the free world.

May God bless and keep this man safe.

Spoke with a good friend of mine from Venezuela this morning. To say she and her family are elated is an understatement. She recently received her green card after years of legal process and might go back to her home to rebuild their livelihood.

My very first girlfriend when I was 13 who I am still friends with is from Venezuela and her father and many other family members still live there. She is celebrating all over her social media accounts that I am friends with her on this morning. She has actual skin in the game. Meanwhile all the leftists who have zero skin in the game are crying about it all on X. Cause Trump.

I'm glad that he's gone but usually our meddling causes significant problems as well. Hopefully this time is different but I'll be shocked if it is. When it goes bad, we'll be blamed, not that I really care.

I don't think there's much danger that this turns into a post-Gaddafi Libya. Venezuela, for all its many many many faults, has in the past been a functioning country.

Lol, goes bad?! How much worse can it be?! 25% of their population left the country under Maduro. Severe, chronic inflation, 80% poverty, and mass misery is all they know.

I agree, "F off Ursula"!

US born to venezuelan parents here but grew up in venezuela until 17 when my dad made the difficult decision to accept an offer in the US and leave all our family and everything we had known
This was in 2000 at the beginning of the regime

The regime murdered one of my uncles
Countless people I know tortured and imprisoned
All my family fled to various parts of the world (thankfully my parents and siblings are all here)



You cannot understand the emotions…the joy and elation at a moment that none of us ever thought would happen

Trump and our military boys have my eternal gratitude and admiration

My wife is Venezuelan. She made the very difficult decision to sell what she could, leave her business she owned behind and leave for the US during the 2nd wave of the economic crisis years ago. Other than her mom being able to travel here, she left knowing she had no idea of if/when she'd ever be able to return to see her home and family again.

Hard for me to understand the emotions she and her family and friends are experiencing right now. In fact, as an American it's impossible to understand.

It has been crying, screaming, dancing, and one video call after another with friends and family for hours at our house.

Happy for you and yours, but…we have rules here.

I love this!

The US had a hard time pinpointing Maduro's exact location, so they hacked Sean Penn's phone.

1920/1930 Germany would like a word with you.

Germany thought their misery was imposed from without. These Venezuelans seem to think it was imposed from within.

Other than that, you totally nailed it!

My sister-in-law is Venezuelan. All of her family except one sister has left the country. Her sister texted her from Caracas in the middle of the night when she saw the sky lit up orange. I'm with her now at a family birthday celebration with several of her family members and they've all been up since 3:30 celebrating.

Says so much about where the Democrats are politically.

Nobody asked her. The EU is irrelevant and she's just talking to herself off in a corner.

Couple of thoughts after reading your post…

First, thanks so much for your post and sharing your experience. It's comments like yours that demonstrate the greatness of our country and why freedom is the lowest common denominator for humanity.

Second, and I say this tongue in cheek, I wish CNN would share your story. I just turned them off after listening to their slobber for the last 20 minutes. Absolutely disgusting.

Cubans everywhere are REJOICING in the news that Nicolás Maduro has been captured! Do you see how thankful this man is to Trump?!! pic.twitter.com/OqTuVx5BhE

Delta Force is awesome.

Let the world take heed . . . I'm looking at you, Colombia and Mexico!

I was briefed this morning on the U.S. military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, as well as their planned imprisonment in federal custody here in New York City.
