Trump Says Next G-7 Should Be Held In Russian Bathhouse by James Schlarmann WASHINGTON, D.C. — Last week, President Trump took part in the G-7 summit. The meeting of seven of the most powerful countries in the world used to be known as the G-8 summit, but Russia was kicked out of the group when it illegally annexed Crimea. During the summit, Trump surprised almost no one when he suggested that the G-7 reconsider allowing Russia back in. “I have to wonder if I’d get picked for employee of the month anymore if I didn’t do little things like this to suck up to Vlad,” Trump was overheard telling a delegation from France this weekend, “and that’s one award I can’t just make up and give myself, so I’d like to keep winning it, if at all possible.” Upon arriving back home in the United States, Mr. Trump was still lobbying for the Kremlin to be invited back into the G-7. However, Mr. Trump said that he thinks it might time for President Vladimir Putin to “show everyone else the beautiful soul” he’s seen in all his interactions with Putin. So, Trump proposed that Russia host the next G-7, even if they’re not in it. “How about we just hold in one of their bathhouses? Those bathhouses are very famous throughout the world,” Trump shouted at reporters on the front lawn of the White House while Marine One’s helicopter blades spun in the background. “I bet that Angie Merkel and Manny Macron would love their time in a Russian bathhouse. I know I always did, have, and will.” Trump said that there are “all kinds of fun services” that bathhouses offer. He believes those services could be the key to getting Putin back in on the rest of the G-7 countries’ good graces. “And they have these ladies who work there, they’ll do ANYTHING to make you happy,” Trump explained, “and I mean anything. Dress up. Let you call them ‘Ivanka Baby,’ drop trous and piss all over you…you know, anything.” Mr. Trump also lobbied, during the G-7, for next year’s event to be held at his Doral golf resort. Many have questioned whether the Constitution even allows a president to lobby for and then host such an international summit. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was asked about that subject as she came out of a local 7/11 convenience store. “Oh, I think it’s definitely a violation of the spirit of the emoluments clause, if not the actual letter and intent of it,” Pelosi said, “and I daresay this is yet another stunning example of how much Republicans are willing to sacrifice their morals and principles, because Obama would already have been drawn and quartered by now. So thank God the American people put the Democrats in charge of the House last year! We will sit idly by and do nothing, but we’ll do it with such furrowed brows and our hands will be wringing so loudly, it’ll almost feel like we’re doing something, literally anything, about it.” In Moscow, President Putin put a treat in a canister marked, “My Fat Orange Fuckwit,” and put it in a pneumatic tube. The canister was carried all the way to the White House basement, where an aide retrieved it. The canister was brought to President Trump, who opened it to find not only his treat, but a special message from Putin. “That’s a good boy! That’s a good boy,” the note said, “keep it up, my little agent of kakistocratic chaos! Your master is very proud of you.” alternativelyfacts.com

It's a sad truth. The Cuban-Americans of my generation and my father's generation are Capitalists and freedom loving. But the Cuban-Americans of the Millennial and Gen Z generations are pro-socialist. They are just like all other Americans of that age, ignorant and too lazy to do the hard work required to make it in a capitalist economy. I understand why this happened, though. The Fed has deformed our economy and stacked the deck in the favor of asset holders with their lowering rates to the lower bound and QE, which is a gift to the rich. But it has killed the middle class and poor....the 99%. So the Millennials got hammered by the Great Recession and the response to that recession was to enrich the 1% even further, while doing nothing for the 99%. So the Millennials are correct in saying the system is corrupted rigged against them. The only problem is that they go the right diagnosis, but their solution is to institutionalize the corruption of the Fed through the implementation of more government and more Fed control in the form of Socialism and MMT. It's sad that their generation is too ignorant of history and economics to understand that they will take a bad situation and make it permanently horrible for themselves. So the Tea Party is right about younger Cuban-Americans. It's a shame, but that's where this country is headed. After Trump is out, this country will go full retard Socialist. Then you all will get exactly what you want. You won't like it, though, when the full horror of it is visited on unsuspecting and ignorant Americans. The older Cubans know all about Socialism and its false promises. Most Americans nowadays are completely unaware.
