#1 ...Lordy, lordy, lordy.

Look, bub - you don't HAVE any diplomatic relations with the US, except when you're blaming us for one of your own screwups. It's not fooling anyone. Take your boodle, move to Switzerland, and call it a day before you end up in an unmarked grave somewhere in Caracas.

#5 Where do you go when you've gone to far?

Maduro has a problem. The economy is totally messed up. There is no nice path to staying in power, not one that doesn't involve calling out the army and killing a bunch of Venezuelans. Don't want that on the international news!

He likely has enough stolen boodle stashed away in offshore banks to live out his days comfortably but he can't just ride off into the sunset and live happily ever after lounging around the pool at the Motel 6 in Abu Dabu, not without worrying about being hunted down by a whole range of vengeance-seekers ranging from the International Criminal Court and crazies from the opposition parties to angry citizens looking for revenge. Can't go. Can't stay. What to do?

If only there was some sort of dictator theme park, like Dictator World at Disneyland or one of those African game parks, where he could live out his days protected from the outside world behind bullet-proof plexiglass while people gawked and jeered. I think it would be a great tourist attraction and facilitates the problem of regime change in what our glorious President referred to as sh1thole countries. It's a win-win!

#7 Not quite, VPOTUS Mike Pence did call Juan Guaidó the new interim president of Venezuela.

Venezuela's freedom begins with new interim president Juan Guaidó

#9 We could always create a Vlad the Impaler theme park and family fun center where former dictators can be seen and laughed at.
