    Ah, someone who played a key role in the Venezuelan coup, the most slapdick of coup attempts. It was like they dusted off a plan from 1980. They setup these staged events for TV and people with phone cameras were filming it from afar and posting on social media like, “What are these clowns doing? Are they filming a commercial?”

    You can love or hate Maduro. I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about the planning and execution of the coup. It was downright buffoonish.

      it’s not too dissimilar to the hundreds of plots to kill Castro.
