Rubio is definitely going to be leading the charge against it

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), another member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was equally blunt. Appearing on Fox News on Wednesday, the Cuban American slammed the administration for the expected announcement, which he called "absurd."

"It's absurd and it's part of a long record of coddling dictators and tyrants that this administration has established," Rubio said.

The administration, Rubio added, is "constantly giving unilateral concessions in exchange for nothing."

Congratulations, Agua Bottle, you just won the support of the ten remaining Cuban exiles.

What a loving idiot.

Pope Francis: "I did"

Josh Earnest said at the press briefing that they aren't ruling out a visit by Obama to Cuba. :asoiaf:

Commence the "Nixon to China" comparisons in 5...4... Trollbama is quickly becoming the best Obama. He truly is at his best when he's making the right poo poo blood.

Although this would be different because Obama's already a Communazimarxifascist.

So historically speaking, did Castro get the last laugh?

In terms of foreign policy? Absolutely. He outlived every member of the CIA and Executive Branch who tried to have him killed.

Domestic policy? Maybe, but the only people who got hurt were ordinary Cubans.

It's not even like Cuba is being ignored by the rest of the world. Literally every other major economic power has normal relations with them. America's the only one still acting like a loving four-year-old.

Why we cannot sack up and say "They are less than 100 miles off our coast and they aren't going away. It worked with the Soviets, why aren't we trying it here?"

I imagine it's mostly because Florida is a big swing state, and for a time anti-Castro Cuban exiles were a large constituency there.

Yet another reason to bugsbunny.gif Florida.

Biden to embark on 2 year diplomatic mission: "Just like Captain Kirk, man!" says Vice President.

Is that because he gets to bang hot foreign chicks along the way?

They had Paul Rubio as the talking head of the day on the local news program decrying Obama's attempts to get together with a dictatorial government that oppresses its own citizens, and I desperately wished for the power to start making the words "HOUSE OF SAUD" begin flashing on the screen Python-style.

:raise:

It is particularly funny to see Republicans, dressed in clothes made in China/Vietnam/Bangladesh/insert lovely third-world repressive hellhole here, standing up and lecturing Obama about talking with repressive regimes. Stinking goddamn hypocrites.

And if his hissy-fit today didn't expose Marco Rubio as an empty-headed boob on the level of Andy Guzman of Alpha House, I don't know what will.

I agree with literally every one of these tweets. It's not a good feeling.
