madame secretary season 2 episode 7 the cold open is a fairly unsubtle flashback to assata shakur in the abridged fictional version the other guy in the car goes for a gun in the glove box and draws first blood in a seemingly unremarkable traffic stop

then its onto cuba which everyone agrees is an authoritarian shithole but also the team is totally behind ending the embargo because capitalism will bring freedom so the main conflict is the white house using carrots and sticks to get sixty votes to end the cuban embargo until inevitably assata shakur ruins everything by being a fugitive from justice but fortunately racism has been solved in the last forty four years so assata shakur is willing to turn herself in

as 2015 time capsules go this is pretty typical the line about cuba communistly banning religion had me going uhhh really also there was something about the rationing system failing

do libs even have a reason for being anti embargo nowadays aside from Biden doing it so it’s ok? I remember Obama era libs were pretty behind normalization for the “capitalism will fix Cuba” reason you mentioned

the main historical relevance of obamas cuba policy was that this was the first time i can recall the president saying he was going to do a thing and got credit as if he had actually done the thing but never actually got around to doing the thing and no one really questioned why

it might not seem so significant in retrospect if this wasnt the media cycle for basically everything the biden administration tries to spin as an accomplishment now

oh yeah final note on madame secretary the senator who tried to ruin lifting the embargo by bringing up assata shakur is punished by the white house deciding not to fund his reelection campaign man now isnt that a quaint idea punishing a senator for sabotaging the presidents agenda when was the last time anyone did that

I think for me that's Obama closing guantanamo bay, or when he got a nobel peace prize for the great accomplishment not being George Bush

Yeah, Obama's entire political career was about being praised for saying things and then not doing them and then doing much worse things.

not sure if this is enough content for the thread but China has announced some new highway partnerships with Jamaica. their first one, the Kingston Montego Bay one, was a resounding success

travelling between those two cities was highly dangerous and involved a long way around, to the point where anyone with the money would fly it (!)

if Jamaica and the Caribbean count as LatAm I could try to grab as much info as I can. Jamaica is apparently a part of Belt and Road.

MAS may be about to split. President Arce is kicked out and if he wants to run for reelection he'll need to make a new party. Honestly this kinda sucks, and Arce was doing a pretty good job from everything I had read. Evo is best though
