Trump would like to “get Cuba done” before the end of his term, he told radio host Hugh Hewitt.
“I’d love to be able to do it for the people, for the Cubans that came and were treated really badly, and they came to America,” he said.

Donnie’s first impulse is to DEPORT REFUGEES as far away as possible. I would say thst he is not a welcoming neighbor. Very unChristian.
Best wishes for the transition. 70 is a dividing line for many people where the effects of aging start to accelerate. It was for me, but of course it depends on overall health, genetics etc.
I was 8 years older than my late husband, but after 40 years together, we were essentially the same age. It’s what happens more often than you might think.
Most of the complaints about Schumer (or Jeffries) come from folks who don’t know much about what kind of jobs they do as leadership.
Both the Speakership and the Senate Majority Leader job are primarily administrative and have a big fund-raising component. They serve on no committees because of the demands of the positions they hold.
They have to keep their respective caucuses focused on the Democratic agenda, have to shepherd legislation being created by their caucus members, have the right person as majority whip to make sure the votes are there before bringing bills to the floor, know when to say no—and when to say Hell, yes, and not get tired of herding a bunch of rabid cats.
It’s not easy work, and it requires someone who doesn’t mind being the target of snide comments from people who don’t know shit from Shinola.
Which is to say, he’s was coopted a long time ago. Schumer is not fighting for Democrats, he’s fighting for his donors by promoting whoever they find acceptable for higher office; voters shouldn’t have a say.
Look, it’s only 2 whole Presidential terms of difference…
And he blasted TMF and his party from the floor.
Prove it.
Show us the receipts.
The money he raised helped elect a lot of the new representatives and senators tha gave the Dems the majority in Congress.
What fatuous twaddle.
Again, you cannot prove any of what you posted—it’s just the tired and warmed-over far left bullshit that is trying hard to divide the Democrats and give the GOP what they want.
No, he’s not. If he were effective behind the scenes, we wouldn’t have had absolute debacles of government shutdowns for two years running. If he were effective behind the scenes, he wouldn’t start off a shutdown by agreeing to hand over all of his leverage. He wouldn’t approve half a dozen members of his caucus going ahead and ending a shutdown that had popular support in order to get absolutely nothing.
The very fact that he had to let the surrender caucus do their thing shows he is ineffectual behind the scenes. That’s not leadership. That’s following, while shouting at the mob to do what they’re already doing.
Nice to know you were there and have firsthand knowledge of what went on behind the scenes—all the planning, all the discussions, all the weighing of what each possible outcome would do for the American people, the choices—bad or horrible—that had to be made, all while having no real power over the Senate and yet still trying to affect the outcome in a positive way.
Tell us more.
I suggest you find another insult to hurl when you don’t have an intelligent response.
Chuck Schumer has the full-throated, reality-bending endorsement of the NYT headline writer. This was almost a week ago, when they thought they could nip this democratic bs in the bud. Plan A was win the elections; Schumer is plan B.
That doesn’t prove your accusations.
It just shows that Schumer didn’t endorse Mamdani.
Where is the proof that his fund-raising shows he’s coopted or bought and paid for?
Why should anybody endorse Mamdani, you ask when they had the perfectly adequate criminal Black guy or the White #MeToo-er??? Poor Chuck and still, he wouldn’t cross AIPAC.
He failed to support anyone in Florida, and lost several major opportunities.
I have a suggestion for you, too—but I won’t put it in writing.
My comment referred to his comment—not to him personally.
And I explained why I called it twaddle.
The lack of an intelligent response falls on your side of this—all you wanted to do ws insult me.
And you were?
I never claimed to know what went on behind the scenes.
@arrendis did.
Schumer’s AIPAC money is VERY important.
