I believe the post you're referring to was one where I disputed that they'd had an election which was useful as far as determining who the people wanted to be president.

Venezuelan media has been taken over by people with ties to the regime so they don't report on anything bad.

He stripped power from the national assembly and created his own body and locked up dissenters. All classic dictatorial stuff.

As far as the National assembly he didn’t do anything that he was constitutionally empowered to do

I asked you a direct question and the bumped it when you didn’t answer—I assume because you realized you were purely be snarky and did not have an actual point to your posting. But if I’m wrong, I’d glad to have to answer the question. You seem to be great and combing over old posts so I’m sure you’ll have no trouble finding the exchange in question

Given that everyone reading the thread is aware of this, there is nothing more that needs to be said on the topic.

Luckbox, do you think Bayrock is a front for either the CIA or the FBI?

so I guess I should retract that one too, unless you haven't ceased believing in Trump and apologized?

then again, national security adviser is not Sec/State, so .... MAGA?

At this point it is hard to tell the difference between a neocon and Dustin.

Trump is a bad awful man except when be bombs, invades, or otherwise uses covert ops to destroy whatever global south country the corporate media has decided will get bad play in a given news cycle.

I feel like once you start agreeing with Marco Rubio's takes on foreign affairs you need to seriously question what the **** has gone wrong with your life.

So how do these Bolton posts show that I'm a hypocrite?
Because you think I haven't properly denounced Trump over it?

Do you think I wouldn't still stand by every single one of those totally benign posts?

With your binary thinking I can see how you think that.

This is basically what you want.

But do you think if we examined your own belief system that we would find no contradictions?

(And while I admit I might have some, I do not admit that you've found them)

I also particularly love how you include this post.

When I offered you the challenge of making a bunch of bad faith posts about me, I didn't think you would actually take me up on it.

What about this post is supposed to show hypocriticism exactly?
