Is the situation in Cuba really this dire?

Oh that’s completely fine. These guys just want to go back to the old Republican Party where the racism was only in private.

That’s the messaging, sure. But I think maybe they do want more illegal immigration since that’s one of their winning issues. And it’s a useful excuse to build a secret police force whose ultimate purpose will be to go after dissidents.

Ironically, this will increase illegal immigration. But maybe that’s what they want?

I can’t remember the exact route I took but the best hike I’ve ever done was in this area. Really incredible place.

That’s the sad part. They literally don’t even need to try to justify it with the number of bootlickers nowadays.

When passports and visas were created they were widely decried as government tyranny and promised to be a temporary wartime measure. And yet now people accept them as normal.

If you think the government should control my personal freedom to travel then please justify that. Otherwise, fuck laws that infringe freedom without adequate justification.

We live in a society of countless byzantine laws. It’s literally impossible to obey every single law 100% of the time.

In this context, the term criminal loses all meaning.

So when is Pete Hegseth getting sent to CECOT?

Mass murder committed brazenly in the public eye.

Fuck if I know. Thankfully he’s super old though so he can’t last forever.

Was this down to a single vote or something?

Don’t worry, they’ll soon find someone even worse to replace her with.

They’re afraid. Trump has more or less blacklisted every dissident from the party and its allies. It’s a career ending move and he’s even threatening some people with criminal charges.

I mean obviously they should do it anyway because it’s the right thing to do. But they didn’t get to where they are by pursuing public good over their own personal well-being.

Yeah this kinda BS happens all the fucking time. Lotta people get screwed by the so-called justice system and few people other than the victims and their families even know it.

Moving military funds into food aid would be extra effective considering that world hunger is largely created by military spending.

If only there was some way we could have known he wasn’t a good guy. Like if, for example, he had famously said it’s good for the economy to poison poor people. Or if he had resigned in disgrace as president of the nation’s university top university after making bigoted comments and involvement in a case of fraud. Or spearheaded the deregulation of the finance industry that directly led to the housing crisis. Just hypothetically, if someone had done all those things, no sane person would invite them to be on one of the most important and powerful corporate boards.

Right?

No, even if we just destroyed their wealth, it would be helpful because they would no longer be bidding up scarce resources like land, corrupting our politics, etc.

Shit I think you’re right.

Thanks for verifying. I feel like I’ve become paranoid nowadays.
