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.

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.
