Why didn't the bulwark mention Trump's comments on Venezuela? He has directly praised the government of Venezuela (and thus the Maduro regime) twice on video since Maduro stole this election. He's claiming Venezuela is a safer place than the U.S. He did it when he was talking to that illiterate vlogger a week or so ago and he did it again with Musk. He essentially suggested that he and Musk could flee down there if the shit hit the fan. I see zero major news outlets discussing this but I would have thought that praising communist dictators would've been something that the Bulwark would've latched onto.

Yes, I did read her piece but I think we all need to be more focused on what is happening in our hemisphere then maybe we can understand why people are willing to risk thier lives crossing the Darian straits. Before they just bitch about our border, which definitely needs fixed.

I'm going to reply to myself to correct something I misstated above--the Bulwark did mention one of these incidents of praise that I wasn't aware of. Linda Chavez wrote about it on July 25th. So this is a pattern with Trump, not a glitch. I do think it needs more coverage and attention.
