  2. Ah, still dealing with Iran-Contra. Reagan era politics never goes out of style.

  6. Dictators historically only go one way… but everyone has to find out the hard way I suppose

  7. Spin up the B-2’s boys, sounds like we need to bring Democracy to someone..

  9. The president and his wife, who is also the vice president. Not corrupt at all!

  12. Let’s wait and see how that lovely couple ends up. History has shown people love dictator couples.

  14. In a few days Donald will call this man a “strong and powerful leader”

  16. His wife is also the Vice President.

    Nicaragua is a beautiful country with some welcoming and warm people. But it has been RUINED by this asshole.

    The saddest thing is that he was a leader of the rebels who eventually overthrew the Dictator Somoza and now he’s become Somoza II.

  17. Had to check the title twice to make sure it didn’t say United States

  19. It’s so disheartnening to see what’s happened to my mom’s country. So many of her family fled, now scattered across the world. Some stayed and now live in fear of speaking up. Fuck this guy, he’s a pathetic excuse of a man that has become the dictator he fought to overthrow. No better than Samoza

  20. Not gunna lie I think if I was given this power I wouldn’t abuse it. Or at least, I’d try to be as fair and neutral as possible. So… I’d probably be assassinated.

  21. We seem to be seeing a lot of non-democratic activity globally. Why are the so many people allowing this?

  22. The is a reminder that Nicaragua has been a staunch enemy of the US for decades, and is one of the countries that votes with Russia in all UN resolutions. The cause of that may be US meddling, but the end result is a thorn in our side.

    How Russia used Belarus to flood Europe with illegal immigrants via cheap flights and visa free travel from around the globe? Nicaragua also has visa free travel and is the main connection hub for countries with no land bridge to America. They are actively working with Russia to inflict pain where they can on the US

  23. Ortega has always been a dictator. Always will, and so will his family for generations to come.
