1. Not assassination attempt. Probably not even drones.

Charred windows were seen near the place where President Maduro was speaking

From the BBC report:

firefighters at the scene disputed the government's version of events, the Associated Press reports.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, three of them said the incident was actually a gas tank explosion inside an apartment, but did not provide further details, the news agency says.

2. Maduro's Reichstag fire?

4. Correct, no assassination attempt, a gas tank exploded in some apatment near there

The brave Venezuelan military run so fast that if there were any injuries, it must have been form head collision as they were bumping against each other not knowing which way to run.

3. Lady Maduro is already making tracks in that photo. But

I don't see 'el nuevo Comandante' and those military 'wheels' running off, as they were accused of doing by other bloggers on a different thread. The sensible thng to do, anyway, while shielding the Boss.

Women always seem to be one move ahead of us, don't they ! As I like to say : We don't think the female persuasion are 'quite the ticket', not quite 'the round shiling'. Unfortunately, they know we're not 'playing with a full deck'. Which is a bit disconcerting.

You go, Comandante ! !Arriba! !Arriba! But not in the way the treasonous kleptocracy want you to.

5. Ignorance is not a bliss

Not sure why you have such support for Maduro, and if you don't live in Venezuela I suggest you go there for at least a week on a vacation, and if you make it back alive then tell us about how marvelous Maduro and the regime is.

I don't know that any Venezuelan would appreciate your cheering for the murderous regime that is killing such a beautiful country as Venezuela is, with warm and loving people.

If you think it is so great, please move there.

And yes, they military run fast, they didn't know what to do, you must have seen half of the video.

8. You people seem to be shameless. completely shameless.

Trying to crush a beautiful anticipation of divine justice, to steal Venezuela's oil and goodness knows what else from its people. It must gall you no end to have been kicked out of the country, and have the oil snatched back from you by its righful owners.

Well, you'd be paid trolls anyway, so I doubt if any Democrat - at least worthy of the name - would take you even half seriously. Never mind, old chap. All come out in the wash.

6. You stopped watching at 12 seconds. Watch the whole video & your nonsense is exposed.

I'm surprised at the medals and sash your hero is wearing. Impressed? I didn't know any South American countries still had that 1800s nonsense. I thought it died out after the 60s. It's 2018, already.

7. Maduro was never in the military, he has not earned any medals

They most probably bought something at the dollar tree and hang it on the idiot.

Maduro used to be a bus driver, and from there Chavez (supposedly) picked him as his heir to the throne...if you think trump soundsz like an idiot when he speaks...well, trump sounds like a scholar when compared to Maduro.

By the way, nothing against bus drivers, I know bus drivers who are very intelligent, and speak very well, I was just pointing out what Maduro did before becoming...well, whatever he is.

9. It's normal for bigwigs to festoon themselves with medals. And

Maduro is a bigwig, driving the US deep-state bigwigs barmy - espcially Big Oil.

'Blow ! blow ! Thou winter wynd. Thou art not so unkind as man's ingratitude.' You were off-loading their oil as a favour, and they threw it back in your face. No wonder you've been doing your darnedest to destroy Venezuela's economy.
