Damn so was it a hell in a cell match or did Batista just kick his ass that badly ?

Reminds me of the Chapelle Rick James bit

"Nah, I was tortured by the communists....but I do remember being tortured by the capitalists"

Also fuck Dave Chappelle

I mean, it sounds like he lost favor with the Bautista regime and tried running to the revolution for protection

I especially like the part where the crabs clamped their claws down on the professor’s testicles

keep in mind that for these people, communism = "anything I don't like", which for many includes anyone brown

I don't believe Ted Cruz is that lost in his own sauce. He's evil and bumbling, but I think he knows what communism is. Cruz may be an unholy assemblage of cockroaches in human form, but he knows who his masters are and what kind of words he has to say to placate the hogs.

He's not dumb, he's slime.

Makes sense. It's why Biden is a communist lol.

VP to Obama, the supreme communist leader. Only a communist liberal could do that job. That's how joe Brandon won, the communist elite and the communist corporations were all on his side.

him and marco rubio, both. gusanos, man...

Cubanos made in Miami

This is somehow worse. Gusano implies their parents fled the communists, but these two are disrespecting the comrades that brought justice to their fathers' oppressor (I have no idea what their parents did under Batista and maybe they were still bourgie shits that just got on the wrong side of Batista).

Rafael (Ted's dad) claims that he was a part of the Cuban revolution, and that was why Batista tortured him. The idea being that he suffered and fought for the revolution, so he is an authority when it comes to criticizing Fidel for betraying the revolutionaries and becoming a new dictator.

There is no evidence he was a revolutionary, though, his account has glaring mistakes about the time and place of major events he was supposedly at, and people who knew him back in Cuba said he just did some anti-Batista graffiti as the extent of his involvement.

SMH stolen valor

His dad claims he joined the revolution, but it's possible he's full of shit. I personally don't think it makes that much sense for him to lie, because it's not like being part of Castro's bunch is something that gets you respect in the US.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago

It gains you the ability to say "no one knows how bad Castro was as me, I was there" it's the yeonmi park role

I mean what's a little torture among friends? but Castro took my granddad's egg monopoly

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago
