Trump was just another idiot asshole pretend businessman until he realized that trolls would mobilize on his behalf if he would only give them a sign that he was one of them. He’s not one of them, he’s a whole different kind of cretinous dipshit, but because they believe that he is, they were willing to operate as the…

Well, they say believe that, but they are full of shit.

Also keep in mind that when sacking an enemy city in the ancient days, the men were killed; the women were taken and the children were raised as members of the conquorers.

Outstanding idea!

Russian Jew here. The US did not have a history of murderous pogroms, which in Russia took at least 100,000 lives. Back then, Russia was the most anti-semitic country in the world by a mile. That ended when the Bolsheviks, many of them Jews, won the civil war. Since then, anti-Semitism fluctuated (brought back after…

Ah. I see; there are some pretty crazy myths about that, but that’s what they are. And good thing our leaders are never rich, or never use their political positions to personally enrich themselves...

I think that’s called “revisionist thinking”.

Cuba’s alliance with the Soviet Union was created by US policy. The US established a blockade to trade with Cuba. Parkinson’s Law: nature abhors a vacuum.

Came here to see if I could get a word in before the preening, gloating assholes show up and try to make this about how they “won.”

Yet, literacy rates improved from 40% to 99%, and Cuba’s healthcare system became the greatest in Latin America. Fidel was flawed, but a perfect revolution was not possible with a imperialistic superpower living 90 miles away, trying to undermine their efforts at every turn.

I remember a few years ago I watched a documentary on Fidel Castro and how he lived through literally hundreds of assassination attempts (I think the exact number is 638?), and I remember thinking ‘he’s as close as anyone has gotten to basically being immortal, he’s gonna die right when he feels like it and no…

I hate admitting it, but I kinda thought he had died ages ago, for some reason. I saw that he had died and was like “wait.....he was still living?!”

Apparently of my mom’s (former?) friends was involved in a top-secret military operation back in the ‘80s, where his team assassinated the real Castro and replaced him with a CIA double. Or so he says.

It literally just happened.

This means a great deal less than it would have even a few years ago. Raul Castro is solidly in power, and if he stays healthy has a few more years to order things. It’s sort’ve surprising to think the death of Fidel Castro has limited geopolitical importance, but it does.

The people that voted for Stein did not vote for Clinton, and any thoughts that they would have if only she were expunged from the ballot (LOL, seriously) are noting but speculation. They probably would have stayed home.

Your position was automatically diminished when you wrote “would of”... lol

Jill Stein is not exactly every liberal’s favorite person lately.

LOL gotta love that Stein is putting more effort into turning Wisconsin blue than Hillary did
