#1 The next step would be to dissolve the Venezuelan electorate and select / appoint a new & improved version.

#3 AH #1 and I know where they can get a whole lot of replacements for that wayward electorate.

We've got 65 million Hillary voters that should be eligible to replace VZ's 35 million people.

Send the leftover 30 million to help out in Africa.

#4 With all the necklace-clutching and hand-wringing by the opposition, Maduro and buddies have nothing to worry about for a while. At least until the populace figures out that Chairman Mao was right when he said, "Power comes from the barrel of a gun!"
Who knew he was a 2nd Amendment supporter?

#5 This just gave the left a bunch of new wet dreams in how to get rid of Trump.

#6 The Solution

After the uprising of the 17th June
The Secretary of the Writers Union
Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee
Stating that the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the government
And could win it back only
By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier
In that case for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?
-- Bertolt Brecht

#8 When federal judges make decisions that imperil the country, you'd think the citizens might find their own way to remove those judges from the comfort of their chambers.
