Venezuelans take their holiday traditions very seriously, from delicious hallacas to the wonderful gaita songs from western Venezuela. But there's another cherished tradition that is becoming a fixture: opposition infighting. Yes, grab your virtual popcorn and follow us 🧵🧵🧵

The latest bombshell is that @JulioBorges, a moronic, unrepentant coup plotter, is resigning as fake foreign minister in the make-believe @jguaido "interim govt." Funny that Borges used to be a reality tv judge and yet that's only the 2nd most ridiculous thing in his CV

Apart from resigning, Borges is calling for an end to the circus known as "interim government", citing "disgusting and sickening corruption" from Guaidó and his party. He argued that the Vzlan opposition needs a reboot given "contradictions and a lack of strategy"

Borges will present his case before the (expired) 2015 National Assembly. So, to sum up, a person with a make-believe job will lobby for the end of an imaginary structure before a no-longer-existing political body. We give you the US-backed Venezuelan opposition, ladies and gents

Borges is one of many calling for Guaidó's head. While they're right that his selfproclaimedness has shown a staggering level of idiocy, the "corruption" concerns are disingenuous.All opposition forces enjoyed the party, only now they realize they can heap all the blame on Guaidó

All this jockeying for position comes as the US is about to decide whether this nonsense of an "interim govt" continues or not. Because puppets have their strings pulled in Washington. So it's like a bunch of capos lobbying the mob boss, only they're all legendary morons

On the surface, one more year of pointless Guaidó infomercials doesn't seem so relevant. But behind this veneer of nonsense there are billion-dollar assets at stake, like CITGO. So Guaidó staying on can ensure that US corporations can get their hands on these Venezuelan assets
