    All the Cubans I know are celebrating his death. I'll trust their judgement on this one, plus with everything I've read as well. Providing healthcare does not excuse his other actions.

    Apparently, Castro had fans in the United States among liberals, and Putin has fans in the United States among conservatives. Go figure.

    Not sure why people keep talking about Cuban Healthcare in a good light. it's one of the worst systems in the world.

    Seems Trump has quite the boner for Putin. And Trump's nominee for national Security Adviser, Michael Flynn has taken money from Putin. And Trump's deputy National Security Adviser KT McFarland was quoted as saying Putin deserved a Nobel Peace Prize.

    They laughed at him because 4 years ago Russia wasn't the biggest threat. Since then they invaded Ukraine and Crimea and hacked a major US political party to the benefit of an ignorant, stooge in Trump who is sympathetic to KGB Putin. Yeah, things kind of changed.

    No, he was just wrong 4 years ago. You can admit it, I don't think it'll hurt too much.

    Yep, he is a conservative. Just look at what he wants to do, conservatives have been drooling to get some of this stuff passed. Sure he wasn't a conservative 10 or so years ago, but right now he is.

    Don't be so afraid of his conservative policies if you really believe in them. The GOP will have to take responsibility for what he's going to do to the country good or bad.

    Golly, dude. Why don't you point out some posts to back that statement up. You won't find any from me.

    As for Castro? About time.

    Given the "vast number" of conservatives who spoke up when Putin had his thumb on the scales during the election, it's clear that if conservatives "hate Putin", its practically a love affair compared to the hate they feel for a significant portion of their fellow Americans.

    Especially when it comes to electing someone who isn't a "real conservative".

    He was probably talking about people like Obama, Clinton the New York Times editorial board etc. Not morons like you and CometsWin.

    That's greatly overstating the influence Russia had on the election. Also, while Trump has a dangerously close relationship with Russia, it's foolish to assume that conservatives are comfortable with that relationship.

    When it comes to hate felt for "a significant portion of their fellow Americans", well I'm not sure anyone can compare to the hateful rhetoric coming from the left ever since they lost this election.

    And before someone says that there hasn't been a ton of hateful rhetoric from the left since the election.....look at the threads in the D&D, there's one calling 60 million Americans "neo Nazis" based on how they voted. I was against Trump as much as anyone else, but that's just ridiculous.
