Pretty sure the final dagger was her getting called out for giving the non competitive bid for her 200 million dollars in commercials staring her to her friends husband and saying that Donald Trump knew about it and approved it.

He probably did know and approve it but everyone who works for Trump knows, you don't admit to his knowledge of this shady shit in public, you tow the line and deny deny deny and when you're caught you fall on the sword.

Hahah. Cheeto wants Cuba too. He thinks that taking over countries is like playing a video game? Invading a country is akin to buying property on a Monopoly board game?

https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/polit...rco-rubio-fall

Cuba is gonna fall pretty soon, by the way, unrelated, but Cuba is gonna fall too. They want to make a deal so badly,” he told CNN’s Dana Bash in a phone interview when touting US military success in his second term.

“They want to make a deal, and so I’m going to put Marco (Rubio) over there and we’ll see how that works out. We’re really focused on this one right now. We’ve got plenty of time, but Cuba’s ready — after 50 years,” he added, explaining that Iran is the current priority.

He added of Cuba: “I’ve been watching it for 50 years, and it’s fallen right into my lap because of me, it’s fallen, but it’s nevertheless fallen right into the lap. And we’re doing very well.”

I guess that means Cuba would need to last another 3 years until Trump leaves if they still want to remain their own country. So the question naturally becomes -- can they last that long?

I would expect some body / country / UN (?) would eventually attempt to arrange for humanitarian aid to be sent into Cuba if the blockade continues. So food and medicine should still remain available in limited quantities. Of course that is not good. But will it be enough?

you would think that cuba would be relatively easy to take over.

they have very little going for it as far as exports. don't even produce enough oil for their own needs and have mining and sugar exports.

take away tourism and money being sent back from from those abroad and they're cooked.

China and Russia still back and support Cuba. Taking Cuba over would trigger a lot of unwanted consequences much like Iran.

In Orange Turd's demented mind, he thinks that he can do whatever he wants as a dictator wanna be.

We shall see if the Republicans survive the mid term elections in November.

Will it be a blue wave of Democrats in the US House of Representatives and the Senate?

The US economy is in trouble. CNN reports a loss of 92 thousand full time jobs in February.

American inflation rate is still pretty high at 2.40%.

All I know from one of my American cousins is that the American consumer is hurting in terms of grocery shopping. She gets a regular stream of complaints of Walmart customers at one of their locations in San Jose, CA about the high prices of groceries.

She works the graveyard shift as a photofinishing department manager.
Complaints to her won't do jack to lower the prices of groceries, Walmart shoppers haha.

If the US economy does not improve in terms of job creation and lower inflation, guess who will get the blame from American voters?

Cheeto! Orange Turd cannot keep putting the blame on Biden and the Democrats.

He started a tariff war AND ignited a potentially large regional war in the Middle East.

Is the US' 2.4% inflation really all that high? I've become so used to seeing 3%+ inflation (and 6 - 7% for food inflation in Canada) that 2.4% doesn't really seem all that high to me anymore. I know it is still higher than the ideal theoretical 2% target.

And speaking of inflation, since the war on Iran started, prices -- esp groceries prices -- have been steadily climbing. I sneaked out during lunch break today to pick up some groceries for dinner, and many food staples have gotten a lot more expensive. $2.88/lb for tomatoes when it was $2.25/lb last week at the same Chinese indie grocer. $2.99/lb for this Chinese veggie when it was $2.49/lb last week. Some other stuff that was $2.99/lb last week is $3.50+/lb today.

And of course, gas prices have hiked up massively (as expected). And generally speaking, both US and Canadian consumers are very sensitive to gas price increases even though it may only work out to be an extra $5 per tank. I wonder if America voters will finally connect the dot to know that Trump is the one responsible for this latest round of gas price increase.

(I wanna make it clear that an extra $5 per tank is still a lot to me lol~)

Why, cause they're communist? and to piss off the states?

Don't see why they'd give two shits if he tried to take it over. Russia can't do anything to help, they have their own war to keep fighting. Why would China get involved half way across the world?

They'd rather take over Taiwan then fight over Cuba

Do you really believe that inflation is only at like 2% or we number the gov gives? Like $3.5 - $3 so like that's 16.66% inflation in less than a year. Keep in mind that the gov prints unlimited money.

I was hearing from some US family friends their monthly expenses for MTG and their insurance, car payment, food is like $7000 USD a month. They are totally fucked if they lost their jobs or if something bad happens.

Also I thought everyone was rich here and only drives EVs what's $5 in gas like 2L can't even go down the block

It's not super surprising, The CIA did train them back in the 80's when they were fighting with the Russians.

The Iranians have a sense of humour:



Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said his country will not be controlled by the Epstein gang.

Somehow calling Iranians goat fuckers doesn’t seem like a valid defence of Trump’s blatant pedo tendencies.

The cuba thing is a combination of Rubio's personal vendetta again the Cuban regime, and Trump desiring to be the "President who finally took down the Cuban communist regime" as part of his legacy.

I wouldn't compare Cuba to DTES at all though. Yes, Cuba is very poor, but its population is very well educated -- one of the most educated countries in Latin America IIRC. I know they also send out a lot of doctors to help other countries.

If it wasn't for the US' stranglehold on the country, it seems fairly reasonable to expect they would do a lot better than they are doing now.

LOL Cuba may be impoverished but it's not like the DTES (their garbage/sanitation issue is a separate issue.)

Cuba also has some very nice coastline, he probably wants to sell it all to his developer donor buddies to build tacky casino resorts again.

There’s video evidence that appears to show a Tomahawk cruise missile strike a school in Iran, killing many kids and teachers. Trump claims that other countries use Tomahawks as well, including Iran.

Current operators of this missile include US, UK, Australia, Netherlands, and Japan. Only one of those countries is currently at war with Iran…
