Any idiot can submit a vote. The problem is whether the people on the other side of the counter (or the other end of the voting machine) can be trusted to accurately record those votes. How many times have you seen some third world 'leader' come out and declare victory, without any way for the voters to say 'Wait a minute! What do you mean you won again? That's impossible!"

Take your time machine back to the Trump administration and everybody in the media and the woke virtue signalers would be calling such statements from DHS racist.

B-Man Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 MLB has closer ties to Cuban players and the Cuban people than any other professional sports league in the country. They no longer get to pick and choose their social and political battles. Enjoy the mess guys!

How about an condemning of the crackdown from our 'leaders, Biden/Harris, One that actually uses the words Communism or Socialism. A little vocal support goes a long, long way.

T&C Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 Thanks for the replies. I live in Florida so I'm seeing the "protests" more than say Nebraska is seeing. Thought that blocking roads wasn't a thing anymore but I guess it still is. Or, lazy enforcement. Not cool when emergency vehicles need to get somewhere fast.

SCBills Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 I may lean right, but I’ve never been a “build the wall” type. It’s one of those issues I’m very in the middle on. I know how lucky I am to be born here and think we need to remember that when we discuss immigration and refugee status. With all that said…. **** the Biden Administration for denying Cubans political asylum. This administration is a joke, and this is one of the more disgusting, hypocritical decisions I’ve seen any administration make in a long time. Semi-open southern border, but Cubans and Haitians… truly those in need of political asylum, we deny. 2

Its not, nor should it be, but our laws have been written to accept refugees under political persecution. That is not happening in El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico etc., yet our door to them is wide open. Somehow Cubans, who are truly fleeing persecution, we say no?

I really don’t want to believe that has anything to do with it, but it’s hard to not see the Biden Admin come out forcefully, immediately, against 70/30 R split Cubans, while they stay being nonsensical in policy on the southern border with 60/40 D split immigrants from Central America. 1

I believe it’s all political. That’s why the left gives away money to illegal immigrants on the border.
B-Man Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 Reuters Take on Cuban Protests Shows Why Journalism Is Truly Dead Over the past year, we saw the difference in how media treated lockdown protests vs. how they treated the BLM/Antifa actions in their pandemic-related descriptions. Lockdown protests were treated as “super spreaders” and people wanting to kill Grandma. But in the case of the BLM protests, media justified the protests, saying they were necessary despite the pandemic because of the importance of their cause, regardless of the risk. All the rights and freedoms, your job or your livelihood, going to the funeral for your mom, going to church — all that couldn’t happen. But BLM protests could, and the pandemic apparently would magically skip them. Media cited public health experts justifying the protests, “White supremacy is a lethal public health issue that predates and contributes to COVID-19,” NPR quoted the ‘experts.’ So, therefore, with a great evil like the Communist government of Cuba, with communism being responsible for the death and oppression of millions, you would think that the media would use the same logic they claimed about the BLM, right? Not so much. Once again, apparently, the virus picks and only strikes folks that Democrats and media have an issue with. It’s a uniquely intelligent virus. It doesn’t hit those with a special “cause.” So we know what Reuters thinks of one of the most evil ideologies that man has ever invented. How to toss away any remaining journalistic credibility that Reuters may have once had all in one tweet. Maybe the people in the streets are thinking that their government is a greater threat to them at this point, after 62 years of oppression — with people being beaten in the streets and arrested — than the virus. How dare they fight for their freedom?! Here’s a thought for Reuters: One of the reasons we have the pandemic is, at least in part, because of the cover-up by another evil Communist government, that of China. So yes, I’m thinking that even in talking about the pandemic, if there hadn’t been the oppressive communism, we’d all be in a different place now, even on that score. https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2021/07/14/reuters-take-on-cuban-protests-shows-why-journalism-is-truly-dead-n410998 2
