Easy to fuck, hard to kill

The cruelty of the Fanjul family's sugar plantations was like one of the main reasons the Cuban people rose up and drove those assholes out of the country. Not the only reason, but a big one. Shame he didn't die sooner because after the revolution he spent 67 years mooching off the US treasury.

Alfonso Fanjul Jr., who helped build one of the world’s largest sugar empires after fleeing Fidel Castro’s communist takeover of Cuba, has died. He was 89.

Dems spent the last 2 years screeching about how not voting was white privilege EVEN THOUGH they knew it was white people who voted for Harris the most... Wait, hold on. Dems spent the last 2 years screeching about how not voting was white privilege BECAUSE they knew it was bullshit. There we go.

Fascinating chart from the missing chapter in the DNC autopsy report www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/u...

Net change in voter turnout (2020-2024)

Shows only white voters 65+ going upwards (but narrowly) and declines across all other groups, with notable declines among young white voters and voters of color

I love how America seems to have memory holed the massive graft that went on from those pandemic loans. The absolute worst people just given scores of free money intended to go towards their employees that simply did not.

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

Officers shooting a man, running away from law enforcement, who is not a target of law enforcement, and who poses no threat to law enforcement, is murder. Federal officers do not have the power to commit summary executions because they are aggrieved.
