They sent ships to provide assistance or rescue if necessary, not to actually protect them from violence or abduction. Basically, they only promised to help someone if their ship sinks and the Italians only did that much to calm striking workers. All optics, no substance.
Right now, I use facebook to 2% check up on relatives living in other states and 98% spread political messaging.
I don’t watch Kitchen Nightmares but I’m in the room from time to time when my dad watches Bar Rescue and and his whole schtick just comes across as really punchable
Venezuela is a shit show politically by any measure and no US Empire whataboutism can change that. It’s possible to call out Maduro and call out the US. Sometimes there is no good guy, just bad guys and worse guys.
When Fidel was in charge, it absolutely was a dictatorship. That his brother took over from him is a little clue to that fact. Now I’m less certain. Since the Communist party in Cuba has some actually well meaning people in it, there’s a possibility that with the old guard dead or retired they may cease being a dictatorship.
Considering how cheap life is in Russia, and how expensive recruitment bonuses are, I’m surprised they haven’t already switched to conscription which they have a long history of.
I’ve heard of plenty of cases were people (or their next of kin) didn’t get shit. I’ll grant that that was from the first 2 years of the war, maybe they got their act together.
Not that I would work at a kitchen as bad as the ones on TV but having worked in restaurants, I’m surprised these kitchen nightmare type shows don’t have the host get punched by the staff periodically. Line cooks can be salty.
This is most certainly NOT a distraction. It’s the main thing to be worried about. Yes, lets call Republicans pedo protectors and keep pushing for the files but it’s ultimately less important than Trumps outright attempts at Treason.
Or better yet, actually held a primary.
I mean, I’ve been calling it since around 2012.
The main reason Biden was a democrat is because where he lived he had to be a democrat to get elected. He’s even farther to the right than the DNC.
Alot of people in the comments griping but it’s not hard to label a veggie patty a “veggie patty” or a “vegan patty” or a “mushroom patty” or to refer to the sandwich it winds up being a part of a “sandwich” instead of a “burger”.
I feel that way about the veggie patties a job I worked used to sell. No attempt to copy the flavor or texture of beef, they were just doing their own thing. Sometimes I’d actually be in the mood for one.
I’m an American and both my parents are huge and in terrible health. Lugging hundreds of extra pounds (2.2 per Kilo) is hell on your body.
There’s a tentative connection between stroke and MAGA. Just ask Fetterman
So, Terry Crews for president?
I don’t. I hope he has a stroke big enough to trap him in his body but not so big that he isn’t aware. Bastard deserves to suffer.
Oh man, it’s real. And they wear tight leather pants. And every other photo online shows a guy with his hands inside the other guys tight leather pants.
Man, I get that bro was scared but people fleeing the country is fairweather friend shit.
