Also Pinochet's birthday!

Seriously... I mean, statistically the odds were always in my favor that I'd experience a world without Fidel, but actually being in the time and place in which it has happened is almost indescribable. I don't expect people who can trace a complete family tree to be able to understand this feeling.

A lot of Perezes didn't live to see this day. In fact, a few of them were put to death by firing squad during the revolution. But those who survived are ******* exploding with joy right now.

I literally can't even summon the words to describe the feeling of this day. Elation doesn't even begin to cover it. I'm trying to think of something witty to say here, but I just can't. I'm still teary just thinking about it.

Burn in hell, you ******* communist *******.

 

Communism is just a thin veil for tyranny. Don't give him credit for being anything other than a tyrant.

The thing that pisses me off is all the praise bestowed on him for his accomplishments and contributions to history from all these world leaders. Sounded to me like they were envious.

I started losing faith in Trump already but his sentiment on this **** of **** is on the money. Maybe Trump might carry through after all.

 

In 20 years his face will be on t-shirts of obscure college youths.

 

oh canadians, eh.

A good friend of mine escaped Cuba in Operation Peter Pan as a teenager. They stole all of his possessions out of his suitcase. It arrived empty. His grandfather was wealthy, owning a bakery and a couple of other businesses and the apartments above them. Everything was confiscated, including the family home and all bank accounts. His mother helped the CIA and was held in prison for a while. She made it to the US eventually with help. My friend said many of the people from the neighborhood were picked up by Castro's people and not seen again. Some of his family was executed.

And I challenge anyone to point to a communist government that was not tyrannical. They always seize power through drumming up class division resentment, promising equality of outcome but always end up with a group of people holding the wealth and screwing the poor. Screwing everybody, actually.

And just when you thought Kaepernick couldn't get any worse. True ignorance is bliss.

ohhhh, it would totally make sense he mourns the death of his own Dad...even if he was a monster.

 

 

Gotta have one

 

"I'm a Muslim, it's not what the media portrays me to be. If people look at me, a Muslim praying, I don't know what they're going to think, what's going to happen. But, I don't blame them. It's the media that put that picture in their heads so they're going to just have it and it, it's going to make them feel uncomfortable. I was kind of scared right now. But I just did it. I relied on God. I went over to the corner and just prayed."

I'm not saying it's not terrorism inspired, but the late teens to early 20s is when a LOT of mental illness starts to appear. I work in a hospital (I was hospital security for a number of years and I still assist when they are overloaded) and I see all the time where kids come (with no prior mental history) with paranoia, hearing voices, or with some really altered mental states. It's sometimes accompanied with drug use but most often it's not. I can't count how many times I have met a kid who thought he was divinely inspired or who had a calling to some great cause. Thank goodness rarely they were divinely driven to cause violence.

If this kid was already primed to feel like a victim of persecution it's not a big leap for me to envision a routine mental episode causing him to believe that the only course of action would be to hurt people in retribution. A lot of speculation on my end of course, but mental illness is far more common than radical terrorism.
