Cuban Dictator Fidel Castro Dead at Age 90 - FINALLY!
Conservative Angle ^

The tear-filled eulogies from the violent U.S. leftists commence in 3… 2… 1…

HAVANA (AP) — Former President Fidel Castro, who led a rebel army to improbable victory in Cuba, embraced Soviet-style communism and defied the power of 10 U.S. presidents during his half century rule, has died at age 90.

Castro’s reign over the island-nation 90 miles from Florida was marked by the U.S.-backed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 and the Cuban Missile Crisis a year later that brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. The bearded revolutionary, who survived a crippling U.S. trade embargo as well as dozens, possibly hundreds, of assassination plots, died eight years after ill health forced him to formally hand power over to his younger brother Raul, who announced his death late Friday on state television.

Incredible. A guy like that.

How many U.S. Presidents did he outlive?

And then there’s his bother, Dennis Castro. At parties, you eventually wind up trying to balance a plate on your lap...

Yet one more example of things getting better since Trump was elected.

The democrat party, CNN, MSNBC and the rest of the leftist media will all be in mourning.

Will the democrats throw a Paul Wellstone style memorial service/political rally for their fallen comrade?

Will Fidel Castro T-Shirts be out in time and in sufficient quantity to make them the surprise hot Christmas/Kwanzza gift in democrat households?

It looks like Colin Kaepernick may once again be a trend setter:

"Cuban Dictator Fidel Castro Dead at Age 90."

Does this create a job opportunity for a new comrade dictator?

If I were the owner of the team I'd be looking to dump the Anti-American, Muslim loving,overpaid, attention whore and give him a one way ticket to Cuba so he can experience the "greatness" of the socialist government firsthand and see how much money they will pay him to play on one of their football teams... Oh wait, they don't have any...It's Futbol and really soccer. Think he will get $19M for playing there? Probaby more like $19K a year if he's lucky. Or they will probably make him pay.

Actually, if Fidel had lived to be 180, he would have been only middle-aged by now....

Good. I hope is death was painful and undignified and I hope he soiled himself as he expired.

If the Cuban people are stunned that a 90 year old man died, their public education system is worse than anyone knew.

I can remember years ago.....a man from Cuba worked in our building. The Cubans have endured a lot....and still have nothing. Unfortunately, his son is just as bad.
