Why Bernie Sanders won't call Venezuela's Maduro a dictator In his CNN town hall Monday night, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., explained why he hesitates to call embattled Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro a dictator. Maduro won reelection last May in what many saw as an illegitimate election wrought with fraud. That alone isn’t enough for Sanders to call him a dictator, and after a short stutter, he was able to explain why. “It’s fair to say that the last election was undemocratic, but there are still democratic operations taking place in that country,” Sanders said. “The point is, what I am calling for right now is internationally supervised free elections.” President Trump has taken a special interest in Venezuela, even going so far as to recognize opposition leader Juan Guaidó as interim president, and Sanders took this opportunity to question why Trump attacks one oppressive regime but is friendly with another. “I do find it interesting that Trump is very

Is R Kelly out of jail? The McDonald’s where he *allegedly* goes to pick up girls

Image
Over the years, R Kelly has made a mockery out of the sexual abuse allegations levied against him — going as far to release a 19-minute song called “I Admit It”. So, after the embattled singer posted bond on Monday afternoon, it’s not the least bit shocking to hear he made a beeline straight for his favorite predatory stomping grounds. Kelly and his entourage stoped at a McDonald’s in Chicago’s River North neighborhood. As  SPIN  points out, it’s the very same McDonald’s where Kelly allegedly picked up a high school girl on her prom night in 1998. According to a lawsuit later settled out of court, Kelly impregnated the girl and then forced her to have an abortion. Later in the evening, Kelly was seen at a cigar lounge, where he was accompanied by Joycelyn Savage and Azriel Clary — two women who currently live with Kelly and whose parents have claimed are being held against their will.
