Protests in Cuba Against Ruling Dictatorship

The same crap can be said for the blonde that was Trump's Press Secretary before he got bounced. She had to keep a binder of stuff when she actually talked to the press.

You can't be serious? The blonde actually took questions from the press with the sole intent of making the president look bad. Unlike Psaki who takes 1 legit question from Peter Doocy (which she never answers) then a bunch of softballs about the president's favorite ice cream flavor, etc.

Yeah, same thing!
 
She is the best at her job, but unfortunately, I think it is a heavy grind. She only lasted about a year as the State Department spokesperson after the Ukraine coup and she's only going to be able to do a year in the Biden administration, also. She's is one of the best I've ever seen.

Not a fan. She appeared over her head at the State Dept and it's even worse now. A good spokesman doesn't make it obvious that they're not telling you anything. Anyone can say "we'll have to circle back on that" and look like an idiot. There's no skill to that

Friend of 'mastermind' behind assassination of Haiti president says America BACKED the Killing - as it's revealed DEA Informant and FBI Informants are among suspected Hit Men

One of the Americans arrested over the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse was a DEA informant who handed over the warlord responsible for leading the last coup in the Caribbean nation, it has been revealed.

The DEA has admitted one of their 'confidential sources' was involved in the assassination, denied it orchestrated the plot and disclosed that he called them after the killing and they advised him to hand himself in.

Joseph Vincent, 55, has been named by sources to the Miami Herald as the DEA informant.

Vincent helped the DEA in 2017 to arrest Guy Philippe, who led a 2004 coup against then-President Jean Bertrand Aristide, on drugs trafficking charges, the sources said. Vincent was with Haitian Police when Philippe was handed over to the DEA at an airport. Philippe is now serving nine years in a US federal prison.

A number of the arrested suspects are FBI informants, CNN reported.

So tomorrow's headlines will read, "TRUMP'S FAULT!"
 
Having lived in Florida my entire life and having had countless friends with Cuban family or ancestry, I can tell you that the frustration level is through the roof. But no one knows what the solution is in terms of US policy and sanctions.

Hotly disputed because on the one hand the theory is harsh sanctions will cause the populace to overthrow or otherwise over time get rid of the dictatorship. But, on the other hand in the meanwhile the sanctions hurt very much the very people you hope to help.
 
The same crap can be said for the blonde that was Trump's Press Secretary before he got bounced. She had to keep a binder of stuff when she actually talked to the press.

Blondie took questions from a mostly hostile press room. Red takes questions from an accepting and favorable press dept.

You should be able to see the difference.

She's organized and prepared. Same as Red. I don't have an issue with either using notes during these press conferences.

I'm assuming this is standard practice.
 
'Do NOT come to the US': Biden's DHS Secretary warns Cubans and Haitians they Won't be allowed in if they flee upheaval and deploys Coast Guard Jets to watch for migrants crossing the sea

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday warned would-be migrants from Cuba and Haiti against trying to reach the United States illegally by sea.

He said the voyage is too dangerous and they will not be allowed to enter.

Mayorkas, whose family fled the Communist takeover of Cuba, said the issue had personal significance to him. He also stressed the danger of the journey.

'This risk is not worth taking,' he said.

Cuba is going through its worst economic crisis since the fall of the Soviet Union, along with a resurgence of coronavirus cases, as it suffers the consequences of US sanctions imposed by the Trump administration.

Cuban voters showed their hand on what they wanted. It was Trumps approach. And I think the sanctions should go away.

Is this equal to the "I have Latin friends" excuse?

Good post otherwise and I don't say that much towards you.

Point is, it's truly a difficult situation and hard to pick the right path in terms of sanctions and economic limitations or imposing hardship. Who do you hurt more when you do that? Tough.

Who benefits when you don't? I agree it's tough though. But as long as "vaccines" are listed as a reason by the people in power, the people are absolutely fked.

Interesting dilemma with the "do not come" messaging. On one hand that was not the message from the Biden administration pre and immediately post election and the result has been a massive surge of undocumented immigrants. The Biden messaging is still one of granting asylum to those fleeing persecution and even though they've changed to a "do not come" message now on the Southern border their actions suggest it's not a serious message.

On the other hand those fleeing Cuba and to some extend Haiti much more closely fit the asylum categorization but the message to them is do not come. Is that given with a wink and nod or a serious attempt to deny access/asylum claims to one group but not others.

The same applies to those allies of ours in Afghanistan - Biden said we can't legally bring them to the US to seek asylum yet those coming across the Southern border aren't legally coming either but we are opening the doors.

bottomline, it's not about helping the true asylum seekers - it's about a political agenda
