    I tweeted to an NPR producer, "why is Cuba on the state sponsor of terror list?" I was trying to be a smart ass since he was farming for questions for a segment on Cuba. They read my question on air and went on about support for the MPLA in Angola. rage-cry

      They’re only ever going to pick questions that allow them to push whatever agenda they have.

        You know what's funny? Out of many excuses they can pull out of their ass, the MPLA is the actual ruling party of Angola so I'm wondering why supporting a country in a civil war is "terrorism"

          Literally the elected party and their vote share has been dwindling, barely over 50% last elections

          Not exactly what you'd expect for a 'vote rigging' regime
