With A “Blood Feuds” West Wing, This Is To Be Expected… Corrupt Chevron Machinations Edition.

So this maladministration. . . stumbles ever onward, into ignominy. [Updated the graphic.]

I suppose we should not be surprised.

But it is fair to be. . . disheartened by how far America has fallen. Damn. Late night NYT, breaking the awful story:

. . .The U.S. Botched a Deal to Swap Venezuelans in El Salvador for American Prisoners. . .

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the U.S. envoy to Venezuela were both working on different deals and ended up at cross purposes. . . .

[T]he deal never happened.

Part of the reason: President Trump’s envoy to Venezuela was working on his own deal, one with terms that Venezuela deemed more attractive. In exchange for American prisoners, he was offering to allow Chevron to continue its oil operations in Venezuela, a vital source of revenue for its authoritarian government. . . .

Losers. One and all -- just show ponies; no work horses, among the lot. And corrupt -- looking to sell favors to Chevron?! Damn.

Out.
