Code Pink headed to Havana Cuba, of all places. In the middle of a nationwide blackout. And they aren’t staying low-budget either. They chose the priciest resorts that have rates up to $520/night.
And they had buses with air conditioning and concerts too. But blackouts are for the little people, even the little people on ventilators:
It’s pretty easy to call yourself a Communist if you are a child of privilege. It would be a lot harder if they were forced to live it.
I’m not enthralled with where Trump is going with Cuba. We really don’t need another corrupt, grifting, taxpayer dependent protectorate island in the Caribbean. We’ve already got one of those.
Not to mention, they get more than their share of hurricane damage. Just imagine where all of those FEMA “relief” funds will be going.
What is it about the countries that originated from Spanish occupation that makes them all modern day corrupt shitholes?

Let’s make some heads explode, by starting a request to make Cuba and Puerto Rico states, not protectorates. There would be some problems, but benefits, also.

We should cut Puerto Rico loose. They’re an ungrateful pack of guttersnipes and losers, with less than 5% of the population speaking any level of English after over 130 years of being part of the USA.
Trade them for a free Cuba. Free Cuba would be far less corrupt and far happier than Puerto Rico.
Funny how lovers of Communism from first world countries never feel compelled to move to a country that has real Communism in effect. It’s much easier to admire from the “horrible” first world country in which you were raised. Also seems strange that all of the people from shithole destinations are risking everything to get here, but no one is going the other direction- yet we are encouraged to believe that the forms of government practiced in these locations are somehow superior.

I’m with you, Beans! As a bonus, there would be a lot of cool vintage cars in the US market!

I can see no benefit of making PR a state.
I was deployed to Roosey Roads in the 80’s and it was 3rd world shithole then. They have what would be called an interstate if people drove on them instead of having ventas (shops) on both shoulders.
Even our (Texas) Mexicans could hardly understand them.
I agree with Beans, cut them lose and deport the ones in the states.

Tennessee, I got some bad news, buddy. You ain’t gonna like them cars. Sorry, but from what I’ve read most of them are trash. They aren’t in any sort of condition you’d want for a restored car. Hell, there’s probably not too much there other than the frame and some sheet metal for a restoration project. One source article stated that most of the drive trains were long ago pulled and tossed. They use whatever they can get, mostly little Russian 4-banger diesels, as their powerplant. Interiors gutted and refitted with whatever. As bad as those cars rusted out back in the day, I’d assume some little sheetmetal shop is banging out fenders and such that almost kind of fit, good enough anyway. Yeah, I thought the same as you until I read more about it.

Kurt P, fair enough opinion. Okay, convert Puerto Rico into a deportation hub with holding and processing. Maybe finally get some use out of it.
How about add the US Virgin Islands to Cuba as a new state? Tell the boo-hoo crowd that we are going to trade Minnesota to the Canadianistans for Alberta, and all West of there. Split the People’s Republic of California into 3. L.A., San Francisco, and the surrounding associated urban sprawl can be the state of Los Bendejos, the rest of the Southern portion can retain the title of California, and the North and coastal can be Franklin San Andreas.
Divide the acquired Northern territories into appropriate populous groups, and insist on at least one being names the state of Trump, and another New Greenland. If it all works out, we could ens up with enough stars to make a really good looking pattern on the flag.
Ultimately, the whole point is to give the pouty people embolisms.
