I can see troops on the street to stop people voting, it’s a banana republic these daysAs his lead slips and we get closer and closer to election he will do more and more outrageous, illegal, corrupt, evil (let's use that word, for that's what we're seeing) things to hurt those who do not support him and especially those who speak out against him. I knew it would be bad, I knew he was unfit, and amoral and inconceivably self-centered -- but this? This is a flat out destruction of the law and the history of the nation to retain power.
It was probably the thick as pig shit award and he miss read it
A is correct but B is incorrectWasn't the bay of pigs:
A) a disaster and
B) officially nothing to do with the US government?
A is correct but B is incorrect
There was US backing. They recruited them, equipped them, trained them, shipped them there. It went tits up when Kennedy refused to provide air cover for them. The game was up as far as any pretence that the US govt wasnt behind it that day.I know it was a US/CIA supported attack but it was Cuban exiles attacking under their own flag - if it was US forces / government it would have been an act of war. Therefore officially it never was or has been - even though people openly talk about the us backing?
Yeah but I think he means ‘officially’ as in ‘officially’. A bit like the Russians never officially fought against the US in Vietnam.There was US backing.
