It ain't my country, but, WHAT THE F*CK?!

Heh. It will surprise you that statements like that are rutinary here. He literally says something like that in every speech he makes. The good thing is that he usually forgets about it afterwards. Usually.

In other news, the Governor of my state has said that any public official that gave his/her signature to the recall process against Maduro should be fired and a person applying for government-built housing who gives his signature shouldn't be given anything. Some government officials have said that the lists of people who signed for the recall should be publicly available, something that deeply disturbs me. I haven't signed or anything (I can't because of my age, and because of other reasons that I'm not comfortable saying in public) but I have the feeling that, if the lists are published, the people who signed will be persecuted.
