Really? Shocking news? Didiots. That's what the elite do. Whine about how much the want to help the "poor" and that they understand the "little guy and his plight" and how they can sympathize all the while living the life of the "Rich and Famous". And retired military servicewoman doesn't get it. No surprise there. How many millionaire congress critters and s(nake)enators have been created that came for meager means? Mostly all of them. Kinda like the hildebeast making a bundle on a paltry investment. Not that it can't be done. Sometimes it's not just the blind that can't see.

Is it that Google Maps doesn’t have images of the area, that they didn’t know where he lived (so they couldn’t look it up) or that they don’t know about Google maps over there? Because golf courses and yachts are big enough to be visible on satellite photos.

LOL! Do you think the castro boys live in some ramshackle tin hut someplace and suffer empty shelves at the grocery store like the rest of the Cubans. Ummmm, no. Me neither.

I noted on the other thread last night... Seeing all the pictures leaves me a bit underwhelmed after that headline. Sure, it’s a nice place and maybe the Roman party barge is a bit much. But in all it’s not really all that over the top. Lots of more ordinary tinpot despots have done better. There’s people in my own town with more gaudy houses than that.

This sounds very much like the “Rich and Famous”lifestyle of our”Resident Dictator”??????????????????

Look at how wealthy most of our politicians become after a few decades in Washington. Seems like I’ve read than Pelosi’s net worth has increased some 1200% since she arrived in DC.

People think it can’t happen here. When there’s a gap that keeps the elite totally removed from the other 90% or so of the population, there can be a breaking point. I wonder how some of these inner cities will fare if just a few things happen to inflame the pent-up frustrations and the idleness of a huge percentage of the population.

No kidding. Have any of these people ever been to Africa? The leaders there routinely live high on the hog while their people are mired in poverty. Find a country where the leaders don’t plunder the people. I doubt there is one.

Great photos. My fav is the man with the mic singing karaoke in Yanukovich’s bedroom.

Glad you liked them! Nice digs, but I don’t need THAT much fancy.

Under google images there are several satellite images of the area, some with arrows and labels (not in English). So yes, people knew about it. Most likely they didn’t know what to do about it.
