The beheadings continue".

does sound like him.

they will change their minds. They just haven't received the info yet.

They certainly had no problem with Reagan's love for Saddam Hussein, nor have I heard a word from them about all the other Dictatorships we support, like Bahrain, Uzbekistan, Saudi Arabia, Uganda among others.

All they are doing is blathering, until they get their instructions.

They sure had no problems with the Bush gang supporting every dictator they could find.

I would like to ask them some specific questions about that.

In fact I'm glad to see they no longer support OUR decades long support for Dictators like Pinnochet eg.

Maybe now they've had a change of heart, we can start changing our disastrous FP finally.

They won't get credit for it.

The next GOP Administration, it will be the bestest idea since sliced bread.

... who apparently like American money. Go figure

And Russia, and Vietnam, and a host of other countries with whom we regularly do business. Whodathunkit.

I always got a kick out of Right Wingers who slammed 'commie nations' but when you asked them about China and Nixon, they had no clue. Nor did they want to.

Amnesia sets in when money starts flowing. I'm sure this has all been worked out, we never do anything for altruistic reasons. And the Right, five years from now, will have forgotten the 'commie' part of Cuba just as they forgot with China.

gracias babylonsistah~

Same crap from Jeb.

perfection

Still laughing at the absolute scrambling and confusion - it's delish

It IS delish!

and in a Presidential year election they are headed towards a serious beating.

"So you all will have to excuse me while I kick down this door and give both delinquents a good verbal thrashing."

"Thank you and God bless America."

the video clip?

Whoever made it did a pretty good job, it really looks like he is kicking down a door.

And next time someone gripes the parties are the same...ask them which republican was ever planning on normalizing relationships with Cuba. I bet they stfu.

He keeps making fools of these idiots time and again.

Long time! Great to see you!

And yes, the President cracks me up. He is smart and collected and there are so many chumps out there who don't get it.
Yes, he does things none of us approve of, but then he can be brilliant and politically savvy. I approve!

Unfortunately, the voters did what he repeatedly warned against: they completely gave the keys back to the GOP to drive them into another ditch.

Some people may eventually get it, and it sounds like some around here may NEVER get it, but he's the only thing keeping America from that ugliness that's about to come through Congress.

Thank you for posting this. Definitely a victory.

...and its been pretty well shown that economic sanctions don't lead to "regime change", ever, as far as I can recall. They just lead to poor people being more entrenched in poverty, more powerless and isolated.

where panic breaks out at the top if the rich stop getting richer for a bit, and government is relied upon to remedy affairs at the cost of all the rest.

I don't get into that argument much, but all the push for government austerity dating back to Reagan is pretty much self-imposed sanctions, which has entrenched poverty. Not much going on here as far as regime change either. Obama had good intentions, but once the whole ruling class gets used to a rate of return, they aren't giving it up. Especially when fooling the people has proved so easy.

This is fantastic news!

To stand out? Mission accomplished!

...some Hispanic backlash against Rubio for his idiotic and insulting speech today.

. . .and pass the popcorn.

to LEAVE THE WATER BOTTLE WHERE IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where's yer bottle, marco-baby?

maybe the poor might benefit..

When Jackson Browne is scheduled to play in Cuba
I'm hoppin' a plane!

And, thanks, Babylon Sister, for the Schadenfreude.
It's fun to watch the worms squirm!

Paula Hawkins......the original Michelle Bachmann.

I certainly expect to see his ass at the front of the line for the next #BlackLivesMatter protest.

what this fiasco never could.

Look at China? They have a middle class larger than our 20%.

The GOP leadership are buffoons and the President is busy drinking their milkshakes. I can't wait for him to announce the next mind melting liberal executive order. Maybe he really has been playing three dimensional chess after all.

Well done Mr. President!

....those two morons apoplectic.

It probably caused the Turtle to go diving for the Kentucky bourbon bottle and Boner knock off an extra pack of cigarettes and an hour in the tanning booth.

..those little veins popping out on Rushs' temples.

And I love it. They're ripping each other to shreds in the forums. I doubt this was Mr. Obama's explicit goal in this process, but it's a damn nice bonus. Hope he keeps the pressure on headed into '16. The more he riles up the derper base, the crazier their candidates will have to act in order to placate them, sending the moderates and independents running for the hills.

I love it. Finally we get a win after the election!
