One million barrels of stolen oil.
He does realize that making Venezuela the 51st state would make all those brown people who don’t speak English actual US citizens? I mean. Obviously he doesn’t, but you know…
He thinks Puerto Rico is a state, to be fair.
US spent 20 years demonizing the party and army in Charge of Venezuela. Kidnapping president, and providing enough bribery to VP to pass down to army, while opposing elections where their puppet opposition that even gave Trump their nobel peace prize. There never was any freedom ideology whatsoever. Only colonialism.
Fuck this bullshit. Our system needs to spit him out and grind him into the ground and remove every trace of this asshole from society.
He conquered and invaded Venezuela and stole their oil. Not much outrage out there for that blatantly corrupt russia-like move. Is the world broken or are the billionaire-owned media companies that good?
There’s just such an overload of news that many people in the mainstream forget. People should also be outraged that Trump deployed the national guard in several states and that ICE murdered people in Minnesota and also still does but has gotten better at hiding it. When everything has become insanity it’s hard to focus on everything that’s going on
They started the year with this. Then we did dumb shit to Cuba, and he and elon were outted as pedophile fucks, so he started shit in iran.
It’s been 11 months of absolute shit and chaos since, and the fat fucks in the US news have not stopped kissing his ass.
Nah theres no outrage for Venezuela, we can’t stop and catch our breath, we’re dumbstruck in shock as a unit over here as to why no one not one soul, can do anything to stop this awful mother fucker.
His idiot voters don’t even realize that making Venezuela a state would give its people voting rights. They would need to understand the difference between state and a US territory to realize that. And for that they would need basic reasoning ability.
Wowie wow wow!!
Dude, nobody wants to be the 51st state of America.
I double checked, and it turns out that Puerto Rico exists.
Fair enough, but also to be fair, it’s a pretty even split between those that want Independence versus those that want statehood. I think they just want to stop being our red-headed stepchildren territory.
LOL, 1M barrels. So, just over an hour’s worth of oil? Assuming we can even refine it?
So that means Venezuelans will get USA citizenship right?.. Right?
And two senators, a few seats in the House, and several Electoral College votes, right?
Cool, so my gas prices are lower right?
For about three minutes until it runs out. The US consumes something like 20 million barrels per day. This is a drop of piss in the ocean.
I’m probably misremembering, but isn’t Venezuelan oil really heavy shit, too?
If that’s the case, it’s not like we can just put in our cars.
Yeah, it’s pretty dense compared to shale oil. But it’s also what many refineries in the US were built to extract, given that hydrofracking is a relatively new process.
Oh, gotcha. Not my area, exactly.
You’re good, it’s a good question.
Nope. It just means now trump has oil to sell, and the higher the price (say… matching European pricing) the more money he steals.
Trump is a one trick pony - greed. Nothing he does is outside of that parameter.

That’s an unfair oversimplification.
He also very much enjoys raping children.
Not sure how a tanker full of hot air and bullshit will lower your gas prices unfortunately.
On a positive note, making Venezuela a 51st state would mean DC and Puerto Rico would finally get a better shot.
Simultaneously, it would tarnish the entire concept of statehood, introducing the specter of imperialism into it’s definition.
Why do people keep discussing the nonsensical bullshit the Orange Turd spouts as if it was a serious concept?
Because I have to live in this nonsensical dimension.
Agree on increasing the odds that Puerto Rico and DC have for statehood, but don’t think it tips the balance.
I’m not so sure that the entire concept of statehood would be tarnished though; Vermont, Texas, and Hawaii were all independent countries before they became states, and that’s even before you start discussing whether North America was ruled by Native Americans before the Europeans and later Americans pushed them aside and declared their own sovereignty.
Don’t forget New Mexico. From Wikipedia:
“Upon Mexican independence in 1821, New Mexico became an autonomous territory that saw an 1837 Rebellion against the central government, with increasing economic ties to the United States. After the Mexican–American War in 1848, the U.S. annexed New Mexico as part of the larger New Mexico Territory, which was central to U.S. westward expansion. New Mexico was a territory for 64 years before it was admitted to the Union as the 47th state on January 6, 1912.”
TIL thanks for sharing!
What makes him think Venezuela would even vote for him if they were a state? Not to mention you’re going to have a really hard time deporting all those illegal immigrants (brown people) once you make 32 million Venezuelans citizens.
Those 32 million would be permanently detained in a ICW facility working for corporations for 75 cents a hour.
Wait wait, I thought he wanted Greenland as the 51st state?
No, it was Canada.
IMO, Canada is way too big for one state. Should be at least 3-5 states.
I didn’t give him permission to make Venezuela a state
