With Maduro gone, Venezuela's government follows the line of succession, just because their "patron" doesn't like the opposition

 You're probably wondering why, after Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was abducted on Saturday---there's not another way to properly frame it, regardless of what the Idiot Squad in Washington says to the contrary---the cabinet he left behind follows the line of succession, with VP Delcy Rodriguez stepping in as President for the duration.

Well, it has something to do with the Nobel Peace Prize. Venezulan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado won the award, which President Pampers covets like a child demanding a shiny new toy.

Maria Corina Machado, Nobel Prize winner.

So Ms. Machado is "sidelined" because Dumb Donald is still butt-hurt over losing out on a prize he never was nominated for. His fevered delusions have overridden any common sense left in the 79 year old US president.

"WAAAAHH!! That belongs to me! Give it to me! WAAAAHHH!!"

Meanwhile, in New York, Maduro pled not guilty to drug charges this morning, and claims he's innocent, a "prisoner of war", in his words. More like a political prisoner, really, since we're dealing with a domestic despot devoid of any understanding of protocols, rules, regulations, etc. He just acts on impulses prompted by the trolls on his staff.

Sure, Maduro's no saint, but he is entitled to a fair trial under international law, something else Donnie Diapers doesn't understand. Trump keeps lying about this case, claiming it's about drugs, but we know differently. It's about the oil, and some believe Rodriguez is willing to negotiate with Trump, just to shut him up.

On the other hand, Marco "Polo" Rubio was on ABC on Sunday, and said that the US has no plans to "run" Venezuela in the interim, contrary to what Donnie Diapers claimed on Saturday when he spoiled everyone's lunch. 

And, then, Donnie still wants Greenland. He's also targeting Mexico, again claiming it's about drug cartels, but there's something else there, and that's his jealousy of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. We all know Dumb Donald doesn't like strong, assertive women, especially those in positions of authority. He realizes she won't play ball with him, and, encouraged by his trolls, he'll start hassling her, too, even though she won a fair election last fall. Neither she or Maria Machado will bend the knee or kiss the ring, if you will, and that's good.

Now you know why some folks call him Trumpty Dumpty, because like the nursery rhyme character, he's going to have a very great fall. Just watch.
