Someone should tell Trump that Cuba is older than 16.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 28 points 3 weeks ago

Cuban expats are a popular target for human trafficking. Come down to Houston or Miami and you'll find Cuban migrants all over the strip club scene.

Trump is an evil evil man, anybody who can't see that is a sociopath or worse.

He's talking awfully big for a guy getting his ass kicked by a country with a depleted military.

a guy getting his ass kicked

The Americans and Israelis have massacred an extraordinarily large number of people, demolished billions in critical infrastructure, and plunged the country into a bleak future of warlordism, poverty, and famine.

It cannot be adequately expressed how nightmarish life will become in Iran in the next few months, without a globally organized relief campaign.

What they've accomplished militarily is impressive, but it hasn't come anywhere close to breaking the genocidal grip of the imperialist powers around their collective throats.

Military force kills people and breaks things. The US military is incredibly good at this. Wielding the power of destruction in a manner that produces positive outcomes is the job of politicians, and the Executive Branch happens to be incredibly bad at this.

This man is a Tyrant. The comparisons to the Third Reich aren't just satire anymore; this is exactly what it is.

I deeply appreciate the small detailed Cuban flag on the Astronaut suit. Well done.

They were never satire. This is exactly who Trump told us he would be. It's who he tried to be during his first term but some of the checks and balances were still intact.

It's crazy how often he accidentally admits he's a sexual-assault enthusiast, like here.

How is this surprising from President Grab-Em-By-The-Pussy?

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 70 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Trump seems to be speed-running the "overextend yourself militarily" part of the late stage in the collapse of empires.

"The honor of taking Cuba" sounds like an old man talking about a young girl he's about to rape.

The USA is a terrorist country.

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 weeks ago

filled with a terrorist population

yeah, sure, a third of them aren't terrorists

but the other third? either openly approve or don't care enough to even vote against it lol. the bare minimum

[-] NewSocialWhoDis@lemmy.zip 22 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

The US has had centuries of the conservative white majority consistently trying to suppress the vote of minorities and the youth. Hundreds of thousands of voters were purged from the voter rolls shortly before the 2024 elections, with a majority of those purged being minorities. Sauce: https://sdvoice.info/trump-lost-vote-suppression-won-here-are-the-numbers/

Many conservative states put fewer polling locations in poor communities. They block measures to make voting easier like same day registration and vote by mail.

Stop demonizing people that have been systematically disempowered. The Republicans in the Senate are about to shut down all other business in an attempt to strip married women of the right to vote.

When I was a kid I always dreamed of visiting the USA.

Now, I will only visit it once. To piss on Trump's grave when he dies.

I'm so glad I listened to all the posters who said voting for the Democrats was voting for GENOCIDE. Boy we sure dodged a bullet there didn't we!

“I do believe I’ll be the honor of – have the honor of taking Cuba. That would be good. That’s a big honor,” said the president.

“Taking Cuba. In some form, yeah,” the president confirmed. “Taking Cuba.”

“I mean, whether I free it, or take it... I think I can do anything I want with it, to tell you the truth,” Trump said.

Wasn't he trying to make people forget about the Epstein files? Because jfc that isn't how you do it

The fact that the American military is going along with these stupid endeavours just show you how ignorant fucking Americans and the military are. Spineless, gutless cowards who can’t fight their way out of anything including trumps diaper.

Get fucked Americans. You. Fucking. All. Suck.

Well, at least he has lowered his expectations down from Canada and Greenland, but given how Iran is going, his threats are empty for now. There's a little bit of me that worries that Agent Krasnov might be doing this in cooperation with Russia.

Maybe if they get spread thin enough, Greenland can launch a counter attack with their polar bears and moose. Come on Latin America, stir them up a bit more just by being there minding your own business speaking "foreign" and looking tanned. That'll do it.

“I do believe I’ll be the honor of-- have the honor of taking Cuba. That would be good. That’s a big honor,” said the president.

“Taking Cuba?” asked Fox’s White House reporter, Peter Doocy.

“Taking Cuba. In some form, yeah,” the president confirmed. “Taking Cuba.”

If nothing else, at least future history class will be fun.

Ha ha!

It's funny because no one in a position of power will try and stop him and he will fucking kill us all for his vanity, or to escape narcissistic injury, or because he's bored...

Wait.. yeah, that's not funny. Can someone please take away grampas nuclear weapons and put him in a home/jail?
