The announcement comes after Donald Trump said he asked the Mexican leader to suspend oil shipments to Cuba. Sheinbaum has warned of a major humanitarian crisis on the Caribbean island.

      Sheinbaum is awesome. I wish we could get a female candidate like her for the presidency in the US, but all they’re willing to offer up to us are eminently corrupt centrists.

        Haven’t you realized yet that Americans will vote for a senile, pedofile rapist over any female candidate you offer them.

          That is not true, and you can look at the 2016 vote tally as evidence.

          The problem is that the female candidates we’re being provided are walking dog shit.

            Compared to the senile pedofile rapist they should have been electable even if they were dinosaur shit.

              they should have been electable

              You, and everyone else who uses that word, kinda just needs to stop. 2024 and 2016 proved that the notion of ‘electability’ is flawed and more than a little asinine.

              Bernie and AOC were supposedly unelectable, and either would have done far better in either of those elections as evidenced by the fact that the Republicans adopted their politics (granted, only in the rhetorical sense) to get elected themselves.

              Far as I can tell, “electable” just seems to me to be conformity to political norms, and people clearly do not want that, because the political norms are keeping them in poverty.

                Wait AOC just turned 35 in 2024, she was literally “unelectable” before then according to your constitution.

                Also I meant that word in the sense that anyone with a grasp on the English language (which all other candidates had) should have won against the senile rapist pedo.

                I am Swiss, so English is actually my third (or fourth of you count dialects) language… if I read a word a lot in English media I tend to incorporate it into my vocabulary… so blame your media, not my grasp on your language.

                And yes, I am a huge fan of Bernie and AOC - they are both great politicians who actually seem to care about the majority of Americans and not just about their donors.

                  I understand your meaning. The problem is you’re wrong.

                  And it’s just annoying to me to keep hearing the word ‘electable’ as if that means anything.

                    So why did the senile pedo win - apart from racism and sexism?

                    Would any woman have stood a chance? Maybe a really racist woman?

      Mexico just made selling vapes illegal. Not possessing or using them mind you just selling them. They just gave vape sales to the cartels.
