Nicaraguan socialist Daniel Ortega turns tyranta Why does this keep happening?

It's never a good sign when your socialist President sends his police and unofficial goon squad into the street to start shooting protesters against his regime. We've seen this playbook recently in Venezuela under President Nicolas Maduro and now something very similar in Nicaragua where former socialist revolutionary Daniel Ortega seems intent on ruling for life.

Congress acts on Nicaraguan presidenta s power grab

Demonstrating the growing anxiety in Washington about Nicaragua, U.S. House of Representatives issued a scathing rebuke of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega's authoritarian push for power. Democrats and Republicans in the lower chamber unanimously supported a call, led by Miami Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Wednesday night to restrict the Ortega government's access to loans from international financial institutions unless it accepts international observers and takes others steps to promote democracy.
