If it's Paramount, you'll need a MAGA angle, like the drunk driver was a Trans school shooter running from the scene after murdering a class of special needs kids.

For starters.

Absolutely, and the Republicans have OWNED their vote since the Bay of Pigs. They totally blamed JFK (rightfully) and the Dems ever since. That's why they've always been so loyal to each other.

The problem was that Republicans always figured that all Hispanics were the same, so if the Cubans were in their side, so were the Puerto Ricans, Central Americans, South Americans, etc. As more and more people from those regions became citizens and started voting, it became apparent they weren't the supporters that they were assumed to be. There seems to be some MAGA support, but it isn't solid, and it isn't certain. That's why they threw the Hispanics to the ICE Wolves.

I suspect it is also why Trump is sabre-rattling about Cuba. Cubans may have started to worry that they'll start getting targeted (I haven't heard of Cuban deportations), so Trump is soothing their very loyal MAGA fears that they shouldn't worry, he's not going to deport them, he's going to LIBERATE CUBA!

Then he'll deport them.

There's a new Bee movie?

Even a massive nation like America needs allies, so a small one is going to need them even more.

Sure, there is always the chance that someone bigger will take over in some way, but what else is a small country going to do? That's just life. They can't get along alone, so they have to seek out alliances of many kinds - political, military, trade, educational, etc. You just have to choose your partners carefully, and hope they don't undergo a major political shift, and suddenly become predatory.

Unfortunately, that's exactly what's happened with America.

It's pretty evenly split in America, but genders generally pick on their own gender, so each thinks it's worse than the other, because they don't really know how bad the other really is.

Small nations are going to need help from larger, friendly nations, that's just reality. It doesn't make them Colonies until they lose their ability to make their own choices.

And this is important, why? Is there some reason we keep abusing the Cubans? They haven't been Soviet for decades. ALL the leaders we were mad at are dead. Their current hatred for America is more based on how badly America treats Cuba, than politics.

And most Americans have no animosity toward Cuba at all. Just the opposite, in fact. Most Americans would LOVE to visit Cuba. Cruise Ships would love to dock there. And American corporations would love an entirely new country close off our coast to exploit.

Opening up trade with Cuba is a win-win, but there is so much negative political inertia that they don't seem to be able to stop.

Your Old Man was fully aware that he was saying that so that his victim would hear it. He just said it a little softer, so he could later claim that he didn't mean for the guy to hear it, as if that's any better.

"That reminds me, I don't like all those trains. I demand that all European nations close their train travel! If you don't do what I tell you, I'll bomb your country, and kill your leaders! I'll do it, you know I will!"

Before ~~Vance~~ Peter Theil realized that he could get power by [making Vance] support~~ing~~ Trump.

It's really true.

Oh, we're just getting started.
