Venezuela Is Still Out Of Toilet Paper, Hotels Declare BYOTP
When you’re running an epic socialist experiment while simultaneously attempting to preserve the legacy of a now-deceased “anti-imperialist” geopolitcal legend and your country’s most valuable asset has unexpectedly become a liability, it’s sometimes necessary for the common man (and woman) to make sacrifices, which is why it makes sense that at one point this year, 36 condoms cost nearly $800 in Venezuela. Fortunately for the safety of US citizens, The White House has officially recognized the country as a threat to US national security, which means no shady Venezuelans will be able to use the US financial system to procure condoms or bread on this administration’s watch. Rounding out the absurdities, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro predictably decided to use Washington’s charade to his advantage by citing Obama’s “imperialist” ambitions as an excuse to grant himself “special powers” which should help him “preserve the peace and integrity” of the country.
While it’s not entirely clear whether this falls under the purview of “preserving peace and integrity,” we imagine it would be a reputational advantage for the nation’s hotels to be able to provide guests with toilet paper, but as Fusion reports, Maduro’s socialist paradise has left some businesses up the proverbial creek:
Venezuela’s product shortages have become so severe that some hotels in that country are asking guests to bring their own toilet paper and soap, a local tourism industry spokesman said on Wednesday.
In Merida, a state in western Venezuelan that’s known for its stunning mountain landscapes, small hotels are struggling to stock their rooms with basic supplies, especially as the busy Semana Santa or Holy Week holiday gets underway.
“It’s an extreme situation,” says Xinia Camacho, owner of a 20-room boutique hotel in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada national park. “For over a year we haven’t had toilet paper, soap, any kind of milk, coffee or sugar. So we have to tell our guests to come prepared.”
Gerardo Montilla, president of Merida’s tourism chamber, told Fusion that product shortages are hitting smaller hotels particularly hard during the busy vacation week.
“Five hotels have told me they are going through this situation, where they have to ask guests to bring their own toilet paper,” Montilla told Fusion. “We’re near the border with Colombia, just two and a half hours away, and lots of [Venezuelan] goods are taken there, because they sell for more money in Colombia.”
Montilla says bigger hotels can circumvent product shortages by buying toilet paper and other basic supplies from black market smugglers who charge up to 6-times the regular price. But smaller, family-run hotels can’t always afford to pay such steep prices, which means that sometimes they have to make do without.
Camacho says she refuses to buy toilet paper from the black market on principle.

Yes, “on principle.” And while that position is fine when it comes to toilet paper, it’s not entirely amenable to goods that are necessary for basic human subsistence.

well hell, dont they have GOLD to trade for TP? Didnt they get the ZH memo...gold cures all? dumb asses...
I guess that they could have bought valcombi bars from Peter Schiff!
You can't wipe your ass with a dollar bill. You can't do anything with this currency for mental rejects! Buh Bitcoin!
https://btc-e.com
So the idea is to use a virtual coin to scrape the excrement away then? Sir you are making no sense. Oh .. I get it, if i have a wi-fi enabled electronic device then I can use that to wipe.
If you found the resonant frequency of your poo, yes you could in fact levitate it from your derriere. Proving once again, there is a tekk solution for everything.
Just import some toilet paper from China, China will gladly ship over some US Dollar bills.
Fuck TP shortage. This BS was engineered by the USA to embarass the Venezuela govt. Looking for a Caracas spring as always. Venezuela is a lush tropical country, lots of broad leaf plants folks can wipe with. After all isnt toilet paper plant fiber. It will be better for their environment anyways without all those toxic chemicals to bleach the plant fibers.
If I was them I would wipe with the leaves and then dump them over the fence of the USA embassy lol. WHich reminds me that a great way of clearing out the USA embassy is to shut off their sewage pipes and let the stuff back up into the bldg.
We wiped some asses of some folks...
Using a bidet is much more hygenic. Japanese bidets are built into the toilet. Many Asian cultures can't understand how Westerners can tolerate having bits of excrement left on their butts all day.
So really this toilet paper shortage is part of Maduro's plan to liberate Venezuelans from Imperialist norms
Someday this socialism thingy is gonna work......I can just feel it.
What we need is a catchy three word slogan...
You mean -ism aka Institute of Supply Management.
http://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/ism-mfg.asp
DEFINITION of 'ISM Manufacturing Index 'An index based on surveys of more than 300 manufacturing firms by the Institute of Supply Management. The ISM Manufacturing Index monitors employment, production inventories, new orders and supplier deliveries. A composite diffusion index is created that monitors conditions in national manufacturing based on the data from these surveys.
More global ism?
or more social ism?
More acronym ism?
More sch ism or more j ism?
...
What are their product they manufacture and who is the Institute?
It all starts and ends with propaganda and linguistic drug addiction. It is all about keeping everyone's brain dosage on an even overly amplified level if you want to run illusion of multiple narratives using keywords (drugs) intersped through them all.
The crash is gonna be a real a doozie when it happens.
You ultimately get the ism your brains are addicted to based upon the nonstop 24/7 365 propaganda morphine drip bombarded on your senses. Democracy of drug addicts has hit critical mass, Venezuela is just one example of it.
GZG is right. It's socialism.
Arbeit macht frei?
Operation "Deny Wipe" in progress.
I doubt the Venezuelan's find this amusing...?
Once lacked toilet paper in the division where I work.
On the third day I put a bag of corn cob in the men's room and another in the female.
I spoke to all the staff who was an environmental measure reuse corn cob.
Said corn cob is recyclable, you pass once in the ass, wash and guard in the drawer for the next time.
Told everyone how to use.
Nothing enter the cob, to clean just pass the someone as if it were toilet paper.
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
This is an own-goal by Venezuela. Yes, the US is fucking with them, but their own government is really fucking up as well.
If you run the money printing press at warp speed, and attempt price controls, this is what happens.
The Venezuelan government seems exceptionally capable of embarassing itself without help from Obama. Besides, can you name one other instance where Obama has been so successful without leaving massive fingerprints all over?
Yeah, didn't think so. Socialism doesn't work. Get over it.
lol...it is as you say, socialism sucks for the masses, it always has. You know another way to tell one is hip deep in socialist-statist-shit with nary a single ply, sand paperish roll in sight?
Venezuelan reporters & journalists (and the people in general) are not allowed to confront Maduro & his cronies to inquire as to how his/their toilet paper supply is holding up, when Maduro-Co thinks he could possibly join them and run out of triple ply, scented & lotioned TP, as that of course will never happen.
And the Great Venezulean TP Crisis rolls on, without that "messy" workers paradise revolution thingy ;-)
"Venezuelan reporters & journalists (and the people in general) are not allowed to confront Maduro & his cronies" Where did you get that BS. All mayor newspapers are owned by the scumbag oligarchs.
You do know that all oligarchs are aligned with governments right? They're not separate from government or independent actors, grasshopper ;-)
It was your banks that had to be rescued by tax payers. Socialism is working better than that.
And your banking bubble aint over yet.
people still use newspaper in a pinch.
I'm not contradicting you by the fact the US gov meddle in their affair, but their shitty socialism centrally planified economy is responsible of at least of 80 % of their shitty situation today.
You can fight US imperialism but that doesn't imply to use disproved and outdated economics ideologies for that.
Even China and Russia are in market economics, that doesn't means that they are America's vassal state.
Bidet's are standard there. I wouldn't think it too drastic.
RE: VZ spring...
it's already happening. the military is picking people up with ice hooks literally ripping them open.
I realize that the US has got its fingers in a lot of areas and has strayed from its original principles but can be at least recognize that a lot of the fucked up shit in this world is happening without US participation? Fascism and Communism existed long before the US became an 800 pound guerilla. Venezuela is fucked because of the idiots in charge, it didn't need anyone of the Yanqui imperialists to participate
Due to the heterogenous nature of the poo, you'll probably need some form of broad spectrum device then, possibly with an integrated smart scanner. I'll start saving some virtual coins now so's I can purchase one in the future :-) There done!! Got 100T of 'em.
Yes, precisely Dr. CornFritter... a spread-rectum wideband poo uptake infuser. We is on the phone with George Foreman right now....
crush my chest you wanna be;s...just shit in my undies...asked my wife to clean them...she is alll fucked up..bring the reset...as i need i require more of a man then this life i live

and fuck you very much...God told me to love you and i do, i get you..in every way...yours\\
Janet
p.s. now, come to me
There's a ZH steam room? Why didn't anybody tell me!!
I developed my username after a drunken weekend in the ZH steam room. Trust me, steam somewhere else.
This is a true steam room story.
At the tender age of 23 I went to London for a few months. I got some inexplicable chronic pain sickness (porbably mental) so I thought going to a sauna/steam room would help to ease the pain. Now in Western Australia we're not anywhere near as homosexually savvy as the culturally aware Europeans. I knew that saunas were gay hotspots, but over here we don't have those private steamrooms (just public facilities) you find littered throughout London so the 'boys' here are a lot more discrete.
Anyways, I tracked down a local swimming pool that had a sauna and made my way over there. I noticed that right across the road from the public sauna was one of those private gay ones. It had a 'closed' sign in the window and I didn't think anything more of it.
I paid my money for the sauna and swim session and proceeded to enter the sauna area. Actually, I had trouble getting in because the damned section was locked from the inside. One of the staff members gave a knock (thinking on it now, it was probably a 'knock'), and the door creaked open. A big, hairy dude poked his head out and the staff member told him that I wanted to sauna. He looked me up and down and let me in. I still thought nothing of it...
But once I was in, and the door locked behind me, I knew I had made a mistake. Naked dudes everywhere. Now, I was not too culturally backward not to know that in europe it's common to sauna and steam naked. But I did know that when a dude is spreadeagled right in front of another man's face, and the other man is staring hungrily at the view, that things had gone into the homo-zone. Obviously, the boys had decided to come to the public sauna given that the private one was closed that day. Needless-to-say, they all looked at me as I entered and I will not lie, thoughts of being raped were flashing through my mind. But I said to myself, 'if you bite it off, you've got to chew it up, now man up and enjoy the sauna you came here for.' Besides, my grandpa has told me that 'if a man makes it past the age of 21 without being raped, he can count himself lucky'. Well I was past that age so I figured I was lucky enough to survive this encounter.
I went into the sauna (the only guy with clothes on) and instantly some guy across from me was trying to take a peek up my shorts. I settled in and listened to the convo. An old man, who clearly had a terminal illness and couldn't even sit up, was recounting tales of how he had spent the summer in Spain 'sunning and fucking'. This elicited the others to recount their holiday stories. After a while, they started to leave the sauna and I was left alone with one beefy hairy dude.
He proceeded to tell me about how his favourite fetish is to take as many 20 pound notes out of the ATM as possible, and get into bed naked and rub the notes all over his body. I think that was the tipping point and I somehow found a side entrance, which led to the pool area and got the hell out of there. I count myself lucky that I got out with only relatively minor mental scarring.
Dude! You went to a sauna. You are so gay.
Also, 20 pound notes... how many could that guy carry? This is joke.
So the homosclerotic wasn't too much but the guy rolling in dough was?
You are so gay.
In London the ATMs usually only disperse 20pound notes. Not sure how many he could carry, but he said he could fill the bed up with them and cover his body in them.
Maybe he was hinting that he could afford me??
"So the homosclerotic wasn't too much but the guy rolling in dough was?"
They were all homo.
Go to Japan, Hot-Spring isn't naked (you have a towel around you) and some of them are co-ed (yes you can bath with women in Japan even if it's more for married couple.)
Me too, I will fear to go in a sauna full of (homo) men, rape are in the highest in the homo community !
95% of Venezuelas export income is from oil. Up to 35% of its GDP is dependent on the oil industry. Thanks to lower oil prices, revenues have been cut almost in half.
This is one socialist experiment (among many) that is going to fail miserably.
To be fair though, any system would fail when half of it's critical and 'reliable' inputs are stopped. So really the experiment is looking at how resilient the socialist Venezuela is. If they've gone a year without TP, soap, coffee, etc. I bet they can go another year.
If Venezuela is such a failed state how come the idiots in Wash don't invade once and for all. Are they afraid of such few chavistas?
They need to invent some Venezuelan turrrists first to have an excuse
Because drug lords (CIA) need the country to be ripe for exploitation. Drugs are much better for CIA income than wars. There is no profit sharing with the MIC.
Of course, Maduro will scream and yell about US coup attempts but he'll take the bribe just like any good statist/dictator, I mean, socialist.
To be fair, they were having this problem before half of its critical and reliable inputs were stopped. Even the NY Slimes was reporting TP and other shortages as far back as 2012.
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/21/world/americas/venezuela-faces-shortag...
Well, I guess you can tip the hotel staff with TP.
But in the case of the Kitchen staff, pre-tip them with soap, wet wipes and hand sanitizer.
;-)
They can have mine...Barry wipes my ass now...
I always upvote a Barry joke but a word of advice...NEVER bare your ass in front of Backdoor Barry.
Anyone with gold in that country has smugglers lining up for blocks to sell them TP.
Trust me, those that own gold in Venezuela, suffer no shortage of tp.
davidalan1 - I believe Venezuela has already leased out their gold to Goldman Sucks in exchange for fiat liquidity to help them through this mess. So yes, gold does indeed have a good use in emergency, although if one is not careful (or corrupt), it is easy enough for the banksters to still screw nations over.
Wonder if it's by principle to not clean your ass properly for respecting the socialist paradise principle...
She is 3rd from the left. I doubt anyone will want to get intimate or close enough to notice the odor of feces.

Just wipe with the towels........
This is always what happens when you allow an uneducated leftist bus driver to run a country. The state will always fail, it is just a matter of time...
As opposed to a bunch of self chosenites who will render the same fate. At least most people have a bit more land and ability to outlast hard times with the leftist bus driver who cares more about them.
Nor the Chosenite, nor the bus driver, I choose Frédéric Bastiat, Carl Menger, Alfred marshall, Friedrich Hayek and so on...
This is always what happens when you allow an uneducated leftist bus driver to run a country.
I didn't know Barry knew how to drive . . . . I thought he was a "community organizer".
Fortunately at the current exchange rate and in anticipation of its future spiral to infinity they can just use their own currency, the Bolivar to wipe their ass's , problem solved.
Government, being nothing more than a criminal syndicate of theft and violence can only produce four things:
1) Poverty
2) Misery
3) Death
4) Lies
Government stole everything including the TP.
The banksters need to repay us.
Voting is like reusing filthy toilet paper.
The environment these pitiful excuses called leadership are creating will send the best of us into the worst positions one can imagine. Mean people will thrive. Sick people will be victims along with the old, weak and young. The most beautiful and talented will be stalked when the lights go out and there are no witnesses. This is a crime against humanity in itself. Reprehensible approach to running the world and if there is a God, these same people who live in chateaus and stately homes will be burned at the stake while the world watches and cheers.
I've often felt the frustration you expressed. But in the end, treating them in such a way just makes you stoop to their level. Shut 'em down, if possible, no doubt. Contain them so they can no longer harm innocent people and wage war on Creation. But if humans allow themselves to bask in the same violence the oppressors wallow in, they strip themselves of their own humanity. Having said all that, may wanna buy ammo :-(
The general consensus is that the guerrilla tactics of the Revolutionary colonists were the main, only, reason England capitulated during the American Revolution.
George Washington, like nearly all things we were taught in the indoctrination centers, was an incompetent fool that insisted on going army to army.
The banksters need to repay us.
Violence solves nothing. Government is nothing but violence.
Yea, like the Swamp Fox.

I used to stay in a motel at Myrtle Beach named for him. Then, a corporation bought it and changed the name. The FED-backed corporations are even removing our history.
Why don't the Venezuelans just do what British soldiers do in the field? Take one sheet and tear a small corner off. Have
a shit then push your index finger through the center of the sheet. Wipe the shit from your ass with your index finger then,
using your other hand, wrap the sheet around your index finger and drag upwards, thereby removing the shit from your
finger. Afterwards, use the small triangle of tissue paper you tore off earlier to clean the shit from under your fingernail.
You're welcome Venezuela!
Clearly, you are a big Cheryl Crowe fan.
She invited me to a barbecue once but I was busy that afternoon - "Mmmm, Sheryl, these home-made dips of yours have a real
real tanginess to them."
eeeeuggh.I thought that was just the most disgusting thing I have read in, well, hours, thank god you saved it by cleaning under the finger nail at the end.
4 days out of a pair of under shorts, 8 if your a savage
They say the tradition of shaking hands with the right hand started in medieval times due to the common practice of using the left hand to wipe ones ass. Only the lords of that time could afford paper or cloth to wipe with.
On a related note, even today there still is a servant for the Queen of England called the "groom of the stool" - guess what his/her job is???
Surely a week-old copy of the New York Times will do the trick? That's the best use for pretty much any mainstream paper.
In Soviet times that was the fate of far too many copies of Izvestia.
Why wait a week? :-)
This is why I plan to buy a bidet.
Save your money and buy a little jar of dung beetles instead. Letting them crawl around in your drawers does take a little getting used to.........
heard tell the cow hands in days of yore used to put their long handles on ant beds - let 'em clean up any hitch hikers i guess (during cattle drives)
I recommend Luxe. They have quality valves and an 18 month warranty. I have 2 of the model 120.

Save yourself the bother work with what you already have got.
Lift the seat, hang your ass down low into the toilet water and flush a few more times.
This is the end result of price fixing. It never works.
One toilet sheet is enough

What a SKANK!!! Anyone smell fish???
36 condoms cost nearly $800 in Venezuela . . . .
Anyone want to go in with me and truck down a shit load of Trojans to Caracas?? At over $20 a piece we would make a killing . . . . .
I find that hard to believe, more USA bad press about Venezuela, they are Catholic down there, they dont use condoms.
And they're all faithful to their wifes and there are no queers at all.
Why use condoms when you can have 8 or 9 kids who piss and shit all day.
Most enter the US in search of a better life on the U.S. taxpayers back.
Thank you, Obama !
We would have to give Maduro half the profts at gunpoint.
They are socialists...
Like I've said before: When times get tough, you don't 'need' gold.
To make money, friends and influence people, you need Alcohol, Ammo and Personal/Feminine Hygiene products. And Meds, which will be worth a fuck of a lot more than shiny coins. (And I own Au coins).
Plan and shop accordingly.
What, you are going to sell them?
What, you are going to sell them?
Sure . . . buy 'em up here for $1.50/each and sell them down there for $20/each. On a truck full of 100,000 rubbers that comes out to a $1,850,000 gross profit . . .
This has been going on for so long, it's really hard to believe anyone, let alone an entire country, can be this inept. The narrative is, Venezuela being a "Socialist" country (Oh how we love to blame thee for all our ills), they can't pick up the phone to order a few containers of stuff for their supermarket shelves. In that case, there isn't an adjective invented to describe the sheer bungling, maladroit lunacy of their so-called central government.
On the other hand, someone (Ahem) must be seriously fucking with the Venezuelan supply chain to make this happen month after month. Why bother with the black market when they can import almost anything they want at a measly 9% VAT and 1% customs handling charge? Well, it might have something to do with the fact that the Bolivar is pegged to the USD at a strictly controlled exchange rate that does not reflect the reality of their 63.4% inflation rate. They might as well ditch their currency and use somebody else's for all import/export transactions just like the Chinese did a little more than a decade ago.
Quite a contrast isn't it? When the Fed prints trillions of the reserve currency for the Banking and MIC oligarchs, the USD becomes stronger (WTF?). When Venezuela prints millions of their Bolivar to keep the peasants in free shit, they get 63.4% inflation. Not sure which is worse in the stupidity stakes.
It's all arbitrary; if the world believe tulip bulbs are valuable - they are.
If the world believes Venezuela is a shit hole, and it is, then it is.
The marketplace is driven by humans and if they can make a better living for themselves by taking their product to a neighboring country instead of selling it for a price set by the state and loose money, they will.
Prices cannot be set by the state without collapse.
Communists are stupid and will always be stupid.
+1
"Prices cannot be set by the state without collapse."
The state-set price for TP is so low that all the black-market TP goes across the border to Colombia where it is sold (to eager buyers) at a profit; resulting, of course, in the "empty shelf" syndrome blamed by the statists on "speculators" and "capitalists" and later with calls for criminal charges and executions of black-marketeers.
The statists are not necessarily stupid. Some are very smart. They don't want anyone acting independently of the criminal state monopoly (without the proper payoff).
Certain leafs will be taxed or banned under to many people wiping their ass under a endangered photosynthesis gay leaf color.
You can't make this shit up.
Jim, what are you doing?
What does it look like, Leonard? I'm wiping my ass with these leaves.
Those are the Gafest leaves, Jim, on this planet wiping your ass with them makes you gay.
So that's what got into Sulu!
Last time I checked the Venezuelan economy is capitalist, in the hands of a few scum bag oligarchs. To early to criticize socialism.
There is plenty of beer though.
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Id--ZFtjR5c
Gets more comical by the day.
Fuck socialism, fuck communism.
Get a one way ticket to Venezuela - I'll pitch in.
I will not bring my own toilet paper. My right hand is good enough!
Sir, I refuse to shake your hand.
Ill bet Maduro and that other communist fat ass bitch , Mooch have plenty of paper.
Shit Happens. Get over it. lol
Reminds me of when I was a boy and went to summer camp. BTW the name of the camp was Camp Joy. Im taling 60 years ago now so we stayed in cabins and when we had to take a dump we went outside and shit in a bucket. I don't remember if we had toilet paper then or just a dirty rag. lol
When I was at the orphanage for 7 years as a boy, I often used pages from National Geographic to wipe myself. that ofc was after I checked out the breasted natives on the pages I used to wipe.
Bring back the pink slime as a medical remedy to toilet paper. 7 out of 10 doctors endorse this treatment.
/sarc
There is no shit paper? So that's why the us hasn't invaded yet!
When I went hunting I always took a small roll of paper with me. At time if I forgot the roll, the next best thing was to find as many big leaves that were always available in the woods. Hopefully a bear wasn't close by when taking a dump. Toilet paper used to be in demand in many european countries.Perhaps it still is. When I was station in Germany near Stuttgart many years ago, the German girls that lived outside the city never shaved their legs. Gosh that was awful to see. Those were the good ole days.
I just hate camping, going out in the dark to dump, and the biggest leaves handy happened to be poison ivy or devils club.
As they say, if it doesn't kill you, ( you may still wish you were dead..)
..don't cry for me Venezuela...
In Obomba's new QE financed global socialist utopia,a roll of toilet paper,is now worth more than the life savings of the average Venezuelan.
Do you really believe Venezuela is out of toilet paper?
Well they are communists - so yeah.
I am sure that some bright scientist/entrepreneur will come up with some kind of pad/sponge that can be used and rinsed for mulitiple uses thus overcoming the toilet paper shortage. The sponge should come in a zip pack just in case one doesn't rinse too well.
The Romans used a.communal sponge on a stick
Yeah, but they also had no concept of germ theory!
Yeah, but they also had no concept of germ theory!
Where's Sean Penn's tongue when you need it?
No I'm sorry i can't spare it, there's just not enough to spare
Oh damn

I can't, I don't have it, I don't have a square to spare, I can't spare a square

America cant run itself because Obumer but can cause all the ill of another. And its own mismanagement could not be the cause of its own ills.
Smells exactly like Republicans blame Democrats Democrats blame Republicans.
8 billion from China and still no shit paper.
Sections of old socks work pretty good.
Don't they get junk mail in Venezuela?
Engineered by the USA you say comrad. There are some incredibly smart people here on ZH and some incredibly stupid.
I'd prefer Venezuela to California. What good is having TP if you have no water to flush away the soiled TP and clean your hands afterward? A splash of water can accomplish what TP can do, however, TP cannot accomplish what water can. CA is also one of those socilaisitic paradises, do I detect a pattern?
Happy Keaster Venezuela
toilet paper is not necessary, only because somebody markets and sells it do people buy it
I traveled SE asia, all you need is a little bowl of clean water by the toilet, squat down and drip the water from the front of your body it runs right under your butt and down the drain without getting all your clothes wet. Use the water to quicly clean yourself and you are good to go.
Sounds like a good idea except here in drought-stricken CaliLand. I guess we can wipe our asses with cactus and tumbleweeds.
people lived for eons without tiolet paper. just wash your ass in the sink.
I'm a sink pisser,too !
Shower pisser here...
I just take a shit in the street, who really cares ?
Insert back and forth from akak and Fourth here...
Its the only mattering thing!
A boon for douche-equipped johns?
Carappyass, Vencesulengua .... In the Kingdom of the TP Challenged .... the Tongue is King !
BYOTP .... tooth paste, TP, soap-on-a-rope, deodorant, Q-Tips, floss, fiat, spaghetti, spaghetti sauce .... why would anyone go to this worker's paradise ?
maduro granting himself "special powers" and obamaos abuse of exec orders: and the difference is?
Sean Penn - but only to eat a plate of communist shit
When in China, I always carry a personal supply of
TP in my backpack.
I use both hands to wipe my ass. No TP needed.
To marvel, and salivate with comments, how some Country unrelated to us is out of toilet paper is supposed conceal the fact that we are in ankle deep shit (and rising) ?
Bummer.
THe Obama model.
The government should fix this, maybe pass a law or sumpin
