World's worst human being by far

The amount of shit going down on this planet right now because of Donald Trump is truly unfathomable.

The GOP specializes in a special kind of stupid

The last time a U.S.-backed invasion of Cuba failed is because they knew they were coming.

The wants of an adjudicated rapist

When I hear Trump say that he’s free to “take Cuba,” that sounds like an adjudicated rapist speaking. It’s the way he thinks.

Trump has turned America into terrorists

Trump in a single gaggle on Air Force One just threatened: -- a second strike against Venezuela -- Cuba -- Mexico -- Colombia -- Iran -- Greenland (which in turn would be an attack on the EU and Denmark)

These are the answers of a psychopath

Q: "A 75-year-old Cuban national died in lCE custody. He had lived in the U.S. for 60 years. Is there anything you can tell us about that?" Tom Homan: "People die in lCE custody. People die in county jails. People die in state prisons."

Reasons to be cheerful, 2015 edition

It can be easy in light of the vile words and actions of Donald Trump and his supporters (and other republican candidates), or the never ending strength of the NRA, or another disappointing decision concerning murder by police officers in Cleveland, or another senseless killing by police in Chicago, or the constant stream of hatred directed toward Muslims, or the continued influence of money in our political system, among many, many others to remember that we Liberals had a pretty good year in 2015.

   To wit:

  • We have three solid candidates to offer the American people for the Presidency of the United States in 2016--which is three more than republicans have.
  • Minimum wage increases were passed from Los Angeles to Rhode Island to New York--with wages as high as $15.00.  There's still work to do, but it's a solid start.
  • A treaty was passed with Iran that in the long run will make the Middle East--and America--safer.
  • Relations with Cuba were normalized after more than fifty years of poisoned and pointless policy that accomplished absolutely nothing other than securing Cuban-American votes for republicans in Florida.
  • Marriage equality is the law of the land--let me repeat that:  Marriage equality is the law of the land.
  • Obamacare broke records again this year for sign-ups and the number of Americans without health insurance is at all-time lows.
  • A climate accord was reached in Paris that, while imperfect, is nonetheless once again a good start for the good guys.
  • Bernie Sanders--a Democratic Socialist?  Who'd have ever thought he'd run such a strong campaign?  And, yeah, it's a long shot he'll win, but it's the best shot the left wing of our party has ever had.
Onward in 2016!

Happy New Year,

Broken

You want to see how broken the republican party is these days?  Just look at their response to President Obama's actions concerning our change in policy toward Cuba.

The Cuban Embargo has been an unmitigated failure that has accomplished absolutely nothing over the last fifty years--foreign policy isn't my forte, but you'd be hard pressed to find a more nonsensical continuation of the status quo in our foreign relations.  So when President Obama decided that perhaps a change was in order, republicans immediately become apoplectic and flout failure as a desired goal of American foreign policy.  Or you can be even dumber like Marco Rubio and criticize the Pope for basically doing his job--which is more or less to help people love one another.

This change in our diplomatic relations with Cuba can have two outcomes--either everything stays the same in Cuba (no loss) or things get better for their citizens (big win).  How much of a nitwit do you have to be to not support that?

Another feather in the cap for President Obama for a much needed and welcome change for a bad policy.
