Venezuela has evolved from a relatively democratic and prosperous country to a brutal, authoritarian state that is now suffering a humanitarian and economic crisis. Most Venezuelans live in deep poverty, even as the few at the top enrich themselves. The violent machinery of the state is directed against the country’s own citizens. Nearly 8 million people have left the country. The opposition has been systematically suppressed by means of election rigging, legal prosecution and imprisonment.

Sounds familiar. So, "President" Chucklenuts, there's still the TACObel Prize yet to be announced, so don't give up hope yet, you overflowing bag of rancid monkey pus.
