How the fuck do you manage to get convicted for bribery as a US senator?? What, did someone just walk up to you with a big bag of money with a dollar sign painted on it and... oh.
His only mistake is that the gold bars were stamped "Made in Egypt". Just like TikTok if they were of American provenance you get a pass.
All the bars actually had "BRIBE" engraved on them. Otherwise it's just sparkling lobbying
That, and he's a massive gusano and a supporter of Sisi Egypt
I don't think he even technically qualifies for Gusano status
His family left Cuba during Batista's dictatorship. The gusanos, to my understanding anyway, are those who fled when Castro and the revolution defeated Batista. They didn't wanna give up their ill gotten wealth and assets, so they packed what they could and fled to Miami and elsewhere. Unfortunately for them the "go to the pub, have a pint" strategy didn't really work out. Nor did the whole "Ok, we'll just invade then!" strategy work. Or the "cut off the serpent's head!" strategy. Incredible losers.
He's stealing gusano "valor" basically. We need a video of a real, certified gusano ripping into him. Telling him his gold bars are fake and his broke ass family never even owned slaves
Actually, funny enough, Marco Rubio also technically doesn't qualify as well (family also fled from Batista), but you never know with Amerikkkan-brainwormed fucks...
LITTLE MARCO
Yeah there's a ton of these people. I guess they still qualify. Not that it matters much anyway. The diehard actual gusanos are pretty psychotic, but the average Burger generally agrees with the sentiment if not the extreme fervor. The propaganda against Cuba has run deep for many decades and seemingly will continue for many more. Biden's pathetic coward-ass waiting until his last days to partially lift the illegal embargo... there's just not words to describe the depravity of such a person. Like just fucking stop... Jesus... can you not do one single fucking good thing???
There's a tradition of the Soviet intelligensia being temporarily embarassed nobles, see big fans of Bulgakov.
i've always just wanted to like, rub some gold bars together. or coins. just to see how squishy and slick it really feels
What if that's all he wanted? Who's going to deny such a simple pleasure?
