Also in an incredibly GiP plot twist, the navy later decided Smalls was never actually not a civilian and it literally took an act of congress in 1897 to get him his $30 pension. Meanwhile, the Army has a ship named after him.

pmchem posted:A Castro is still the leader of Cuba Well, If I had to make a guess literally nothing would make Cuban exiles happy on the Cuban question aside from invading Cuba, again. So I'm not sure it's a voting block Democrats could ever appease anyway. I don't believe the "woke internet" has forgotten that Cubans government hasn't really moved it's just Left/Liberals in the US really want us to stop putting our collective dicks in the hornets nest called "Nation Building" and would rather the Cuban question be solved with normalizing relations and other diplomatic options. Which is probably off the table with the same block edit: Much like other issues it'll probably stop being a "thing" when people born before 1960 start dying off.

It's been a while, but I had a girlfriend years ago that went on two student trips to Cuba. This was around 2014, so things were kinda chill at the time. For what it's worth, she really enjoyed it. That's about all I remember of it. Cigars she brought back were meh.

More so I wonder if Trump is planning on using the official Presidential account as a backup or he’s just going to start using his aides ones as Twitter starts trying to speed ban them?

A lot of mariners go to visit Cuba, its pretty common. You just can't take a flight from the US or get your passport stamped. If you need a clearance it might be iffy and bringing stuff back can also be tricky since walking through customs loaded with rum and cigars might raise suspicions.

Firing Fauci would give him immense freedom to say whatever the gently caress he wanted (with the exception of anything classified) to whomever he wanted, and it's not like there aren't ways around that by degrees of separation.

From my understanding it also have to fire the head of the NIH, since it appears that he would not fire Fauci, not that I don’t think for second that trouble absolutely purge the poo poo out of everything, win or lose. Well at least my Sherman shirt arrives by Friday.

If anyone is feeling overwhelmed in the coming days, always remember that every episode of the Joy of Painting is on youtube. Whenever I'm feeling too stressed out, listening to Bob Ross always makes me feel better. Heck, one of these days I might even get some art supplies and try painting some mountains myself

Grip it and rip it posted:Jesus christ what the gently caress. That presentation reads like a gag from a movie about unhinged cops, but there's no reason to think it's a joke. From the article posted:UPDATE, 5:15 PM: Morgan Hall, the Communications Director for the Kentucky Justice and Public Safety Cabinet, sent RedEye this statement: “It is unacceptable that this material was ever included in the training of law enforcement. Our administration does not condone the use of this material. The material is not currently a part of any training materials and was removed in 2013.” It's okay, it was only a little Hitler and they got rid of it in 2013. How were they supposed to know that Hitler was bad before then?

Donnie Goodbrains never can quite make that leap. It's the end of the drat campaign and he's attacking someone with a 65% approval rating because the mob and Fox News told him to. It's quite impressive how bad he is at all of this.
