https://apnews.com/article/biden-cuba-terrorism-designation-a0e2f003ce7100e6a845ef7ed6e96a1b Shoulda been done 4 years ago. Cruz has already condemned the deal. Rubio likely will tomorrow at the Senate Foreign Affairs confirmation hearing. The Cuban people are being played like pawns in our internal squabble. No different than human shields in Gaza. This is about revenge for Cuban Americans who were dispossessed in the revolution and their demand for reparations. It's always about money and those without it, including Americans, are F'ed. -

Nice piece https://apnews.com/article/trump-imperialism-canada-panama-greenland-b4b53445dee97398b498b79eab54d49b Charlie Kirk, a key Trump ally who joined Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., on a trip to Greenlandthis week, argued on his podcast Wednesday that it was imperative for the U.S. to control Greenland. The island is an autonomous territory of Denmark, a longtime U.S. ally and a founding NATO member. Beyond the country’s strategic location in the Arctic and its rich resources, Kirk said, “there is this other component. It makes America dream again, that we’re not just this sad, low-testosterone, beta male slouching in our chair, allowing the world to run over us.” sounds a lot like the Nazis…

Cmon. It’s just a joke like colonizing Canada or invading Greenland. It’s hilarious. -

That was the journalist’s answer to my question on whether imprisonment resulted from criticizing the government. He said “no”. At worst would be that. There are many 3rd world democracies where that is the case. Florida for example bans books… -

Jamaica has the similar natural resources and similar land mass but is a democracy. They also receive millions, if not billions from US tourists. The luxury resorts there have heavy security and barbed wire. Cubans appear better educated, healthier and happier, at least the average person. They do this with almost no US tourist dollars or trade. The casas we stayed in had no security or barbed wire. Ships that drop cargo into Cuba are banned from entering US ports for years. Remove these obstacles and most of their problems go away. We met journalist and artists, not educators. They spoke freely and criticized openly. The artists works were often socially provocative in regards to politics. -

They have problems, no doubt. But the pre Castro years were not good for many. Very good for a few. The mafia ran Havana with all the decay that culture brings. Many of the early emigres after the revolution were tied in and lost everything. They and their descendants lost a great deal and have great resentment. So take all that bitching with a grain of salt. A Cuban American in the Miami airport was appalled that we were going there. She told us the government was starving all the people. I have seen a single malnourished Cuban or even a dog or cat and we actually went to a squatter community that the government ended up providing water and electricity for. To be fair, we saw a dog with mange there. Cuban history has many more than 2 historical periods. To say so is ridiculous. As with most things, it’s nuanced and complicated. Very little is black or white. -

Greetings from Cuba, the first communist country I’ve ever visited. Firstly, it’s likely not going to be communist for long. The embargo and the easy access to green cards from the US for Cubans is taking its toll. 10% of the population has left in the last 3 years. Ask trump and Rubio about automatic green cards for Cubans. Seems antithetical to his proclaimed immigration policy but that’s how they roll. All that said, it’s a beautiful country with friendly people. I’ve yet to see an armed soldier or policeman. I’ve walked the streets at night both alone and with others with no problem. They’re low on oil getting almost all from Venezuela. Secondarily there’s garbage in the streets because the trucks have little gas. There are blackouts everyday for 1-3 hours for the same reason. Since we are with a university group, we met with several journalists and artists They admitted censorship but not at the cost of imprisonment. Anti government material results in harassment and at worst, exile. One of the artists painted the famous Obama sketch in light blue after his visit here. No problems for that. They were very hopeful til trump took over for him. We go to Jamaica every year. The standard of living seems much better in Cuba. So communism will likely fail here ( the journalists agree) but it hasn’t done badly compared to other Caribbean countries. Havana has a university for 60000 students that is free. Healthcare is free. maybe there’s a happy medium… -
RFK In Charge of Health Care
Joe Ferguson forever replied to Trump_is_Mentally_fit's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Well I actually went to medical school, passed all the exams and requirements and passed the boards 3 times. So no, I don’t listen to “them”. Where did you obtain your expertise in medicine and health? I’m guessing some far right site with authors who know nothing about health sciences like most moron anti vaxers -
Immigration Is Good For America

Which is why we need the fbi! Trump isn’t proposing stopping promising foreign students a place. He promised green cards should they graduate. Are you unfamiliar with his policy here?
