Trae Crowder Rant - So What's the REAL Reason America Raided Venezuela and Took Maduro??
Jan 6, 2026
Well the good ol US of A returned to her roots this weekend by doing a coup in a Central American country! Ahh...just like old times, innit? The only difference being we used to have the decency to lie and try to act like we weren't doing that, or at the very least that we had some real good reasons for doing it. These days were just like "THEMS OIL GIMME GIMME" and whatnot. So that's...encouraging. Anyway 2026 is off to a rollicking start.
