Yesterday at the White House, Venezuela’s opposition leader María Corina Machado, who was awarded the prize late last year, gave her medal to the POTUS in recognition of what she described as his committment to Venezuela’s freedom. This came after Trump greenlit an American operation that has seen Venezuela’s leader Nicolás Maduro arrested and taken to the U.S.
I swear I recently read that Machado was opposing dicktater. What the fuck happened? The fact she seems to be coddling him makes me question why she even got it in the first place.
edit1: you can’t write this stuff… she literally got the prize for, “her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.” I guess she is like every other power tripping fuck that gets a whiff of money.

edit2: I can’t find any news on her opposing him, I must have hallucinated that. It seems this peace prize thing was to schmooze him into backing her, I guess.

She actually looks like Heath Ledger’s Joker, who just blew up a hospital and wiped off the makeup
She’s a neoliberal. Neoliberals are NOT opposed to dictatorships. They are opposed to anything other than neoliberal capitalism. They are opposed to authoritarian socialist systems, but they absolutely will also oppose a democracy that they consider to be not capitalist enough. Friedrich Hayek, one of the architects of neoliberalism was very clear on the matter:
There’s no need to attack her appearance. Her actions describe her nature just fine.
I will absolutely attack a narcissist’s appearance, that’s one of the only things they actually care about
I think what you saw was that Trump didn’t support her (still doesn’t it seems). I recall her coming out hard for Trump when he kidnapped Maduro.
