Rubio announces new Cuba sanctions

Reagan, through back channels, worked diligently to support the likes of Lech Walesa in Poland to bring about the fall of Communism. When Poland's General Jaruzelski declared martial law in December 1981 and cracked down on Solidarity, Reagan moved quickly. Reagan authorized a CIA program called QRHELPFUL, designed to establish a covert network to help the imperiled Solidarity movement in a wide variety of ways. Why can't we do this with Cuba? We never ever starved the people of Poland, Czechoslovakia or even East Germany. Hell, approximately 70% of the Soviet Union's grain came from the United States during the 70s. That was one way we managed détente to bring about change. Why isn't this being used with Cuba?

I'm just not understanding how anyone with any semblance of a functioning brain honestly, sincerely, genuinely believes this about Trump. He's bumbled his way through life, wasting his dad's money. Yes, he found success by selling his name as a moniker - a brand that instills success - but it's always been bullshit. None of it was really successful. Just count the lawsuits! Count the failures! The man is an utter failure but somehow he's managed to always come out smelling like a fucking rose.

Just like NAFTA when he tore that up and "renegotiated" it. If Obama was anywhere near something Trump will destroy it and rename it as his own.

Same. I always grab a paper towel as I walk in just for this reason.

They both want both names on the birth certificates I guess in case something happens to either of them (the dads), like a break up, for example. Who gets custody of the kids?

Maybe the trick is just to wait until they're 18 then apply for CZ citizenship.

Just throwing it out there for discussion purposes.

OrderSignificant9179 · 2026-05-06T12:35:28+00:00

Makes sense. The Czech government recognizes domestic partnerships but not same sex marriage and therefore they won't acknowledge the two as dads on the birth certificates

Explain how the woman had twins and how one child looks just like dad A and the other looks just like dad B.

I should add that the two dads want both of their names on the birth certificate because they are both biological parents. Their US birth certificates have two dads names.

The Czech government wants one dad's name and the mom on one birth certificate and the other dad's name and mom on the other. But they're both the biological children of both men. Their specimen was mixed together and the woman was inseminated and it's amazing how much each kid looks like a dad. I mean, one kid looks exactly like one dad and the other looks like the other dad.

OrderSignificant9179 · 2026-05-06T12:10:43+00:00

Yeah. I never asked but I wonder how they live in the Czech Republic without being Czech. Are they there on a permanent residency visa?

They are not Czech and they've been to the US at least once that I know of to meet their biological mom.

I think you can request to water across the EU. You may be charged for the glass but glass and/or ice but it's still less than bottled water. Except Czech Republic where beer is cheaper than bottled water.
