    The current administration of America is hell bent on making illegal immigrants not welcome on their soil yet creating situations around the globe that directly lead to things like mass illegal immigration :jayzus:

    Cuba used to be the Epstein Island of its day before the commie revolution.
    THAT'S why the billionaire class hates Cuba with a teeth cracking fury.
    They've never gotten over losing their rape resort.
    All the "commies in our back yard!! :weep:" shit has just been propaganda fluff.

    DOOCY: When you say Cuba is next—
    TRUMP: “Cu-bah”
    DOOCY: Will Cuba look more like Iran or Venezuela?
    TRUMP: “Can’t tell you that. I can tell you that they’re talking to us. It’s a failed nation. They have no money, they have no oil, they have no nothing.”

    3,000 people on dialysis will die if the blackout continues. Just for starters. How high will the United States murder count be this time?

    I know it's a tall order, but can you explain how the Trump administration's foreign policy makes sense geopolitically?

    Please include not just Cuba, but also Iran, Ukraine, antagonizing NATO, claiming we need Greenland, How does the Temu U.N. that Trump is trying to establish make sense?

    They have sugar. Which could be a boon to the world should someone sane take back the Presidency of the US. Obama started the process to normalize relations but the orange moron of course put an end to that.

    I think that it's not clearcut and that attributing things solely to individual personalities who can be ranked is unhelpful. These people are expressions of the system that give rise to them, and Trump is an expression of its decay - something which his predecessors are partially responsible for.
    From one perspective in fact, Trump is "better" in that he telegraphs his crimes directly and doesn't give a shit about doing fancy PR. For instance, Bush launched an enormous propaganda campaign to deceive people before attacking Iraq and causing regional chaos. Whereas Trump doesn't bother and everyone can see what he's doing. And less competent empire is more likely to fail, which is good.
    It certainly irks me when people try to rehabilitate scum like George Bush mainly because they spoke more diplomatically while murdering people.

    you have to remember RickDekard hates anyone in authority the are all criminals sometimes just because they are in a position of authority. i think his big problem is authority( take this for what you will i am just a 'dumb' ole programmer). he seems to have all the answers to avoid the 'criminal acts' in solving the worlds problems. i think we should 'elect' or 'appoint' him leader of the Department of Solutions he seems to be full of them. Rick don't take this personal it is not meant that way i hope you spend some happy times because it seems you are completely unhappy with the world.

    I woke up this morning with a bad hangover
    And my penis was missing again
    This happens all the time, it's detachable (detachable penis)
    This comes in handy a lot of the time
    I can leave it home (detachable penis)
    When I think it's going to get me in trouble
    Or I can rent it out when I don't need it (detachable penis)
    But now and then, I go to a party, get drunk
    And the next morning, I can't for the life of me (detachable penis)
    Remember what I did with it (detachable penis)
    First I looked around my apartment, and I couldn't find it
    So I called up the place where the party was (detachable penis)
    They hadn't seen it either
    I asked them to check the medicine cabinet (detachable penis)
    'Cause for some reason, I leave it there sometimes
    But not this time (detachable penis)
    So I told them if it pops up to let me know
    I called a few people who were at the party (detachable penis)
    But they were no help either
    I was starting to get desperate (detachable penis)
    I really don't like being without my penis for too long
    It makes me feel like less of a man, and (detachable penis)
    I really hate having to sit down every time I take a leak (detachable penis)
    After a few hours of searching the house (detachable penis)
    And calling everyone I could think of
    I was starting to get very depressed (detachable penis)
    So I went to the Kiev and ate breakfast
    Then as I walked down Second Avenue
    Towards St. Mark's place where (detachable penis)
    All those people sell used books and other junk on the street
    I saw my penis lying on a blanket (detachable penis)
    Next to a broken toaster oven
    Some guy was selling it (detachable penis)
    I had to buy it off him, he wanted 22 bucks (detachable penis)
    But I talked him down to 17
    I took it home, washed it off (detachable penis)
    And put it back on (detachable penis)
    I was happy again, complete
    People sometimes tell me (detachable penis)
    I should get it permanently attached
    But I don't know (detachable penis)
    Even though it's sometimes a pain in the ass
    I like having a detachable penis (detachable penis)
    Detachable penis...

    A Russian oil tanker is expected to dock in Cuba later today. Reportedly, Trump is trying to a member of Castro's family to head up a new government in Cuba.

    The US say that they will "allow" it. Obviously that's because they dare not interfere with Russian stuff. But clearly the attitude to selective oil blockades is variable on who is doing the blockading.
