Cubans want freedom, Biden admin thinks they want vaccines

[postman1782]

blame Trump for people in Cuba wanting freedom and waving American flags? okay?

Considering Obama had open talks with Cuba and started working with them, and then Trump came along and slammed sanctions on them and stopped talking to them again? Because it was a good thing that Obama did? Yeah, we can safely blame Trump for this bullshit.

Not salty about it. I defended myself when you called me a victim. I am not part of the democratic party or their embracing of victim hood as a platform. Oh no, I got banned from a forum where 98% think about Trump on a daily basis to make their lives miserable and then blame him for everything that has ever happened. Then when you ask why they don't post stuff like this, you get "well create your own post, I need to whine in the Trump thread". You post almost 11 times a day here, I come here once every other month to ruffle feathers with things people don't see because it's not on the hufpost. average 11 times a day, you're a saint here.

1) What has this to do with Cuba.
2) Maybe these paragraph long "woe to me" posts and their lack of relevance to the subject might have something to do with your frequent vacations. Just sayin'.

I dont get to respond because people report me for not being a liberal and I get banned. You should know, you report me.

No, you don't get banned for not being a liberal, you get banned because you break the fucking rules.

Lmao I have not posted in the Trump thread in ages/maybe even years.
But keep on playing the victim, its amusing. I don't even care if this convo gets me banned again lol

It's hilarious to me that people are still taken seriously when they say this garbage. Especially the people who whine about the gay/trans agenda coming after them and their children, whine that their gunz are being taken away, whine that white people are being replaced by the filthy browns pouring across the border, whine that their religion is being criminalized, whine that police are afraid to do their jobs, whine that they're being forced to get a vaccine or wear a mask, whine that their tax dollars are being used to fund the murder of babies, and whine that they're being persecuted on a video game forum (or social media in general). Get some fucking self-awareness for once in your life. You might find that your outlook improves if you do.

Did you miss CPAC over the weekend? Because that was Victim-Con 2021 for sure.

At least you're honest that you're just here to "ruffle feathers", however I don't think many of us go to HuffPo for our news. At least not as a primary source. On that topic though -

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/cuba-...b00edbf38467d7

Coverage of the protests.

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/cuba-...b00edbf38467d7

And the Biden administrations response.

Both via the AP, because as noted HuffPo ain't a great primary source and I doubt many folks use it.

I'm sorry, are you really suggesting a sitting US president is siding with the government of Cuba here?

[Zan15]

Julie Chung is a he now? Please show me where I quoted anyone from the administration besides the secratary. The sevcratary responded and it was so obtuse they had to get something else out. And you posting things said after the backlash...bravo......... You really "got me"

The best part of these posts is, I can't see any of them because I blocked so many people who bring Trump in to every argument because they literally have nothing. Everything they say has to do with Trump. He is living rent free in their heads and they STILL CAN'T LET GO OF HIM. You can keep posting about Trump and trolling me, but I won't see it. Meanwhile, ignoring stuff happening seems to be your forte.

Odd it seems like you the one with a trump problem...


Also then why frame the post as "biden administration" when its just the secratary?


Wanted the offical "biden administration" statement on it go to the WH web site.

Nah you'd rather indirectly blame biden and his administration.

No one is that stupid to not see through your attempts

[s_bushido]

Oy, the self-awareness of a dog licking it's own asshole in the street.

I mean, this is the guy complaining that all we talk about is Trump, while his post history is filled with nothing but DNC this, Biden that, and California over there. It's almost like people criticize politicians they disagree with, or something.

Getting mixed messages here.

Sure enough, but the OP has yet to realize the substantive gap between “policy differences” and “a bunch of people on his side broke the law to an egregious degree and are going to jail”

And so large is this gap that it makes it rather hard to judge the merits of any policy critiques they have when we know how complicit they are with the latter.

Its what happens when you only listen to the far right outlets.
Its either that or he believes anything below invading Cuba is siding with Cuba.

[unfilteredJW]

Just leave Cuba alone. USA has no business there, not even handing out vaccines.

It's true though. If your opinion is a bit different from the neoliberal consensus you get infracted for trolling, because too many people got their jammies twisted over a diversity of opinions.

Lack of self awareness and victim boo hooing in one post. Neat.

So back on topic and away from narcissist whining, is there any real reason or coherent argument for the United States embargo and sanctions on Cuba? We openly sell arms to worse governments, so the trade blockade on Cuba makes no sense.

Its communist and not friendly towards the US, thats all the reason the US gov needs.

The Cuba embargo is for all intents and purposes a leftover from the Cold War and the Cuba Missile Crisis that Republicans haven't allowed to die down because of their need to have a boogieman. "CUBA COMMUNISM BAD" is an easy target for the average boomer.

No, but you know McCarthy's influence runs strong in the US, especially on the conservative side.

I would venture it has far, far less to do with the Cuban Missile Crisis which justified it in the moment, and far, far more to do with punishing Cuba for daring to rise up and kick out the exploitative American capitalists who were destroying the nation and its people.

I won't defend the Castro regime, but when you look at the shitshow that preceded it, it's really fucking obvious why Castro had such broad Cuban support in the first place. His regime might've been bad, but it was still a step up.

Yo @TexasRules, how do you feel about a Republican mayor open to the idea of starting a war with Cuba?

Add to that the fact that showing anything but hostility to the Castro regime is grounds for instantly losing the Cuban expat vote (and thus Florida as a state) and that the very idea of socialism/communism is still a massive boogeyman in everytown America as the latest election shows, and it's no surprise that concrete steps towards ending the blockade haven't manifested yet; nobody has any real interest in doing so in the US.
