Fucking Florida, Amirite? (General Florida Thread)

You mean you blindly fetishize anything with the "communist" label slapped on it.

The American government isn't killing innocent people you loony leftist.

Living in this country costs thousands of dollars.

But don't worry, Cubans are migrating out of that country so fast they're bound to take you in.

Thousands of people just can't wait to leave that wonderous shit hole that you wish the United States would turn into. And when they do hit American soil, want to take a guess which system of government they prefer?

You stay here because you feel comfortable and protected.

Between the two of you is a brain cell desperately trying to do something other than die in vain.

Two brain cells you cannot refute. Doesn't exactly cast you in a flattering light.

Holy shit, the jokes write themselves.

Says the poster who has yet to refute any of the facts brought up in this thread. If you're going to continue to ignore facts and post nothing but platitudes, then we're done here. I have better things to do than argue with a child.

And thus, having told on himself, UA shriveled up like a flower petal, and blew away.

Now they say you can hear his ghost slowly and gently sobbing at the Wal-Mart display of chamo face paint.

"Facts."

Everything I said is factual.

All you did was say "I went there and spent a day off of my cruise ship and it was TEH AWFUL, and my totally real Cuban friends in Florida agree!"

Historic wave of Cuban migrants will have a lasting impact on Florida

Yes, this is what happens when a world superpower strangles an entire country's economy. It's as if you have no understanding of what the US does to other countries, and the lasting damage it has on them.

Also, what is your source?

Cubans respond with zeal to new US migration policy

Every one of these you post is a testament to the damage the US is doing to the people of Cuba every day.

Something to take note of, folks: when a pro-capitalist source says a communist country's people yearns for freedom, I want you to flip that around and imagine what would be said of the US from the position of any socialist country. Just because capitalism, like whiteness, is seen as the default reality for many, doesn't mean it is.

The United States is a bully, and tries to starve innocent men, women, and children out of a sense of ideological superiority against the people of Cuba.

All @T.R. can post are the trophies of US cruelty and brutality against a sovereign nation that has done no harm to the US.

Why Cubans leave

No country has any obligation to do business with another. Cuba's failure is the result of a failed economic system. You can blame the United States all you want, but that doesn't make it true.

Well then, I'm sure you'll be 100% in support of DeSantis when he fires a "Constitutional Sheriff" who decides he can decide what local, state or federal laws he/she fills like enforcing.
Only $22 million? Chump change... just out of curiosity how much would it take to outrage you over taxpayer subsidies for private projects? How does that compare for the amoun that it would take to outrage you for government support of "woke" inititiatives?

Cuba protests: one man killed and more than 100 missing in historic unrest

Arbitrary Detention, Ill-Treatment, Abusive Trials Affect Hundreds

Cuba prevents protest over police killing of Black man

You have no idea what a color revolution is, do you? Of course you don't, though you can quickly google it.
The US, aside from its embargo, has never stopped fucking with Cuba. The links I posted above show what they've been doing for decades to cause unrest in Cuba. You don't blame the US, but then you benefit from it, so what do you care?

What a shame. You got to visit Cuba and could have learned from its people. Instead, like every other American tourist, you learned nothing and decided to tell everyone just how ignorant you are, and with such confidence.

You haven't even connected the dots between what you're posting and what I mentioned earlier. You somehow think you're doing well. Don't forget to let @Uncle Albert borrow that brain cell when he decides to expound on something he doesn't know about, either. It sure does get its exercise.

Keep posting about Cuba and the things that happen there, especially police violence, because anyone who has a brain will see that and look at the US and its track record. Like a fool, you shine a spotlight and it reflects off of the larger mirror in the room.

You seem to be missing the point entirely. The way it works now, Florida's budget isn't on the hook for any cost overruns nor any potential rising costs. Twelve years later Florida has a system that works while billions of dollars later California has nothing to show for it.

You need an explanation for why government shouldn't allow teachers to push their social agendas in their classrooms without parent consent? Really?

You don't think reasons why Cubans leave the country and the police brutality that goes on there is relevant? Really?

I'm just posting facts here. You can't seem to handle that and are now doing what you always do which is insult the intelligence of the other person. Never have I ever said that the U. S is perfect. I'm well read and know the dark history of our country very well. I don't need you to lecture me on that as I've already been taught by college professors who were far more knowledgeable on the subject than you'll ever be.

I’m sure the communist dreamscape of Cuba is quite lovely. But wasn’t this a thread about how awesome Florida is?

Yeah, it should be split from post #16 onward, and be called "But Cuba tho!!".

How about some proof that it was happening on such a wide scale that some sort of heavy handed state intervention was needed?

A list of bills DeSantis signed yesterday. The highlighted one absolves commercial space flight corporations from any damages that their neglect or accidents may cause.

This is 24 hours after the 'launch' of DeSantis' presidential campaign on Elon Musk's twitter platform. Which like Musk's last space venture also blew up in flames.

Just posted the same in the Florida Man Runs For President thread. Stinks to high heaven.

There ought to be a law! seems like the Republican mantra these days. So much for small government.
