So... to summarize... The US govt ordered a bunch of oil barons to refuse to refine Scary Soviet oil bc the US was mad they couldn't operate with impunity & disregard the Cuban people needs anymore.
& the US population is mad at Cuba over things their grandparents were lied to about 60+ years ago.

Alt: a man with a crazy look on his face in a blue shirt and tie is pointing at a board with papers red string and conspiracies on it.
I'd been yelling about Epstein for years because I found the conspiracy side of the internet related to him in 2014. Everyone thought I was a crackpot until Julie K. Brown & the Miami Herald's reporting. Now everyone who thought I was nuts has been REAL QUIET about who's in the files.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it.
ICE isnβt recruiting heroes, itβs recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.
Losers with power become the most dangerous kind.

One of the biggest blunders (when well-intentioned) and betrayals (when not) in Democratic rhetoric over the years is their impenetrable insistence that what voters respond to is somebody who begins by finding common ground with their opponent, no matter who that opponent is or what that ground is.

Two things can be true:
1) this administration is causing & will cause incalculable damage & death to vulnerable people, and eventually to everyone except maybe the oligarchs. It is a horror show beyond many of our wildest previous imaginings
2) they are bungling fools and they have already failed
