and their mentally-challenged supporters in Congress who always back them, and the large contributions they control, along with Florida's 29 electoral votes. You might recall the election of 2000 had Governor Jeb Bush (who was totally involved with the "exiles" as personal friends and business partners, etc., etc.) informing the country they were prepared to substitute a new slate of electors if V.P. Gore won the Presidential race, not to mention his action in sending his Florida Highway Patrolmen to cruise around voting places, putting the fear of god, he hoped, into would-be black voters....
The Cuban "exile" politicos have always drained huge amounts of US tax dollars to give themselves embellishments not available to ordinary US citizens. It has been a real racket for them, from the lowliest "public servants" to the most powerful. It will be a blessing when Cuban-US relations are made honorable, only over 60 years late, and all these grifters are left without their easy money and political clout.
US right-wing politicians have ALWAYS been able to use Cuba as a weapon, as they refuse to give up their "commie" boogie-man charges against any and all political "enemies." They have continued the Joseph McCarthy raving character assassination all these long tedious, obnoxious years, without missing a beat.
If the country can ever push aside the repellent, disgusting right-wing butt sitting on everyone's faces, get a chance to stand up, breathe some clean air, there WILL be a sane President who WILL have the power to shut down all this absolute nonsense, and restore sanity, and honor to US foreign relations at long last.
It has been a long dirty fight, with all the filth coming from the right.
Not sure how or when or if Joe Biden will see an opening to continue what Obama had started. So many, many people in Cuba were thrilled, and believed he was bringing the beginning of the end of hostility against that tiny country.
