So, Venezuela. Remember when we were told Maduro was the only problem? Turns out, even after Uncle Sam helped give him the boot, things still ain't exactly sunshine and rainbows. Case in point: Barinas prison is currently having a 'moment.'

Picture this: Inmates on the roof, mattresses ablaze, chanting about 'torture.' Torture! You'd think after all the 'liberation' the globalists promised, folks would be living it up. But no, turns out, the local HOA is still a little…aggressive.

According to the Venezuelan Observatory of Prisons (probably funded by Soros, just saying), the inmates were peacefully protesting when the guards started blasting. Peaceful protesting in prison? Yeah, okay. I'm sure they were just asking nicely for extra pudding.

Apparently, these 'peaceful protesters' also weren't too happy about losing their clothes and visitation rights. Can't have the homies visit when you're rocking a burlap sack, can ya? And who's gonna smuggle in the contraband now?

Then you've got the family members outside, brawling with the National Guard. I bet they wish they had some of those military-grade weapons the Biden admin conveniently left in Afghanistan. Talk about bad timing.

The interim government, meanwhile, is ghosting Reuters. Probably too busy figuring out how to spin this latest PR disaster. Remember that law they passed to release all those 'political prisoners'? Maybe some of them are back in Barinas, causing trouble. Just a thought.

And let's not forget, this whole mess started after the US decided to play regime change roulette. Now we're stuck cleaning up another failed state. Great job, neocon geniuses. Mission Accomplished!

So, what's the takeaway? Well, besides the obvious 'don't start regime change wars you can't finish,' it's this: Governments gonna govern, and sometimes that means things get a little…'torturous.' Especially when the government is a total train wreck.
