The coup-plotters in Venezuela have failed to garner enough popular support to seize power, so the US will now pay their salaries, airfare, "propaganda," and other amenities. Fantastic use of taxpayer money!

Meanwhile, the Trump administration diverts Central America aid out of sheer spite and ignorance. Strong evidence that they have no interest in solutions, only racism and conflict.
