Some of the images of today

Look how the glorious GNB so bravely slaps a woman who is doing nothing more than screaming at him. Such an honorable display of manliness...


Here's some footage of the GNB caught planting "evidence" in one of the students' backpacks

Now they're transporting detainees on civilian vehicles?



It sure seems like it takes a lot of GNB to retain an unarmed student protester



Wow... a lot of those fascists sure have a very dark skin tone. And a lot of them sure don't look like rich oligarchs.

Here's an image of the CORE 5, GNB center where today's detainees are being held. It sure looks like it's chuck-full of students

He should stop the corruption of the Boiligarchs, but that would mean telling his little buddies--to include Little Buddy Raul--that there's no more raiding the treasury anymore. He needs to start paying VZ's bills, and stop blaming CHILDREN for his inability to lead.

The guy is an idiot.

I mean, obviously they're behind the 60% yearly inflation, the food scarcity, the lack of any coherent plan to pay back the government's bills, the rampant crime rate, the poor conditions of the state-controlled energy infrastructure and oil production, among other things. It's TOTALLY anybody else's fault besides the government.

Such as having the biggest oil reserves in the world with an average price of over $100 a barrel for 15 years, and being in a country so rich in terms of resources and touristic opportunity, and still somehow managing to make the country the laughingstock of the continent, I'd say that makes it the worst in the world, or at the least the most obviously corrupt
