@sunny66878@AllAboutTRH To me, ppl get the PREMISE of the show confused . This is an ensemble cast- not a one woman show- if she wants that may but should shop that to bravo. Until then they all need to work it out- every franchise doesn’t get rid of one person bc the other says so 🫠
Truly breathtaking taking what Megyn Kelly intentionally leaves out of her rant.
Kelly pretends the problem is some inherent flaw in Haitian “culture” or lack of “work ethic.”
In reality, the conditions forcing people to flee — extreme poverty, gang violence fueled by desperation, collapsed institutions — are the direct legacy of U.S.-backed coups, economic warfare, and neocolonial policies designed to keep Haiti weak, dependent, and a source of exploitable labor.
Direct U.S. interventions destroyed their ability to build a decent life at home.
Demanding they “go back” to the ruins those policies helped engineer is pure hypocrisy. The desperation isn’t innate — it was manufactured by the very powerful economic forces and U.S. government coups Kelly refuses to acknowledge.
When Jean-Bertrand Aristide — Haiti’s first democratically elected president, backed by the poor and working masses — took office, his government immediately moved to double the minimum wage, mobilize the poor, bolster healthcare and education, foster neighborhood truces, and hold paramilitaries accountable.
These pro-worker steps threatened the sweatshop owners and foreign interests profiting from starvation wages.
The U.S. responded with economic sabotage and a violent coup.
A classified diplomatic cable obtained by The Grayzone reveals veteran CIA operative Janice L. Elmore (operating under State Department cover) meeting coup plotters and disloyal police in Gonaïves right before a strategic 2002 jailbreak that freed paramilitaries and set the 2004 overthrow in motion.
The Bush administration, through the U.S. government-funded International Republican Institute, trained and unified Aristide’s opponents, encouraged them to reject power-sharing, imposed crippling sanctions that froze loans and aid, and ultimately backed the coup that ousted Aristide on February 29, 2004.
Post-coup, the price of rice — the staple food for Haiti’s poor — more than doubled in months.
Looting, chaos, starvation risks, mass layoffs, and paramilitary violence followed. Regime change delivered exactly what the poor had feared: more misery.
This fits a longer pattern. Under Bill Clinton, the U.S. slashed tariffs on subsidized American rice, flooding Haiti and wiping out local rice farmers. Clinton himself later admitted: “It may have been good for some of my farmers in Arkansas, but it has not worked. It was a mistake.”
The result was the destruction of Haitian agriculture and forced dependence on low-wage factory jobs.
Wikileaks cables show U.S. officials and contractors for major American brands actively pressured Haitian governments against even modest minimum wage increases — opposing a rise from 24 cents to 61 cents an hour as supposedly not reflecting “economic reality.”
Aristide’s earlier wage hikes were sabotaged for the same reason: protecting cheap labor for U.S. corporate interests.
The DSA momentum isn’t about the DSA, it’s about people.
I see all the quibbling and bickering, but not a lot of understanding.
People in NY cast votes for candidates they think actually care about what they’re going through. Same way they did for Mamdani.
But instead of reflecting, the establishment continues to project. We’ve seen it before, it’s partly how we got here.
I don’t imagine that what happened in New York could happen in Baton Rouge … yet. And when I say yet I mean YET. If a people first, economic liberation movement finds its political stride in South, its curtains.
It’s hard for a lot of Black southerners I know to critique the Dems, an elder of mine recently told me she votes Democrat OUT OF RESPECT FOR DR KING.
(I told her Dr. King might’ve been DSA, because he held some very strident anti-capitalist/anti imperialist views. She then told me to worry about my weight and not about Dr King’s legacy. That actually happened 😂😂😂😂😂😂)
I’m not saying that’s going to change, but I am saying those same people I talk to (particularly the ones under 45) aren’t frustrated. They’re tired. Frustrated needs a rally. Tired needs a change. They’re ripe for new voices.
The best outcome here would be a meeting of the minds. It would Robin reminding Batman of the ideals he started with, and Batman educating Robin on the structural realities of the world we live in, and how we make allies in that world. They then shake hands and vandalize the Joker’s reflecting pool.
That won’t happen though. Political intractability is by design. Politicians fight for their existence while forgetting about yours.
You do not matter. Threats to power matter. Threats to systems matter. They built it the way they wanted it, they’ve been milking it for years. They want their milk cheap while yours gets more expensive.
We say politics is a beauty pageant, but in actuality, it’s a slaughterhouse. You think you’re the butcher, when really, you’re the cow.
But man. Somewhere there’s a candidate that just wants you to have a living wage and healthcare. Just wants your kid not have to die in a foreign war. Maybe they can’t even get it done, but that’s sincerely what they want.
I hope you get to vote for them.
@Quamclips A me too ass 😂 how are you gonna help somebody with the beef but yet your current baby mama can’t even put you in her music video? The most she will show is your hands and a baby picture but You can point out info to another rapper in a beef?😂😂😂
@sweetfacedinero@YouTube I’m confused how they’re saying Drew is not broke when from the filings by TMZ she can’t even afford a home of her own but yet she’s been on housewives and she does all these movies that the people love to talk about
So because we have to now accept the Epstein class pedophilia in our faces and no charges ; we now have the same pedophiles telling US that our 15 to 19-year-old daughters aren’t having enough babies
