Exactly how is this Cuba annoucement "historic"?

All that's happening is that they're reverting back to a policy that failed to do much of anything for five decades.

"Historic" typically means something unprecedented, something that we haven't seen before.

Honestly, I think he's just trying to kiss Marco Rubio's ass right now in advance of possible impeachment.

Straight out of 1970.

It seems as if all Trump cares about is undoing the good Pres. Obama did. He is catering to a small fraction of the electorate.

Andrea Mitchell was talking earlier how people in Cuba liked the new policies.

and as many Obama supporters as he can.

Trump would LOVE to make homeless every single one of us.

He is on RECORD saying REVENGE is why he gets up in the morning.

The american people are under attack from him and Russia.

And half of us are happy about it.
