It's about damn time! (Taking steps to normalize relations with Cuba, that is; Rubio lost his mind a long time ago.)

I was thinking about this for a week.
Coincidence? I don't think so
Butt I'm serious, I have fantasies of being the prime minister.

The news in Italy were literally feasting on these news and on the fact that the pope apparently helped the diplomatic process... And then they mentioned the republicans' reaction which was exactly what I expected.
Beppe Grillo and his party do the exact same in Italy with Renzi every day, and even though Renzi is quite a douchebag, this way of arguing at all costs with your opponents whatever they do is getting old. Not to mention it gets us nowhere.
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

It's about time. Cuba is no threat to us, and we'd both be better off having them as a friend.

As someone who's a little young to remember it and hasn't read up much on the subject, what was the justification for the embargo in the first place?
In every country and every age, the priest had been hostile to Liberty.

We as a nation are going down wearing cement shoes!

And that is not surprising, seeing as they're backed by the oligarchy of your country and by the backwards dumbasses who go to Creation Museums.
Grillo on the other hand is supported by many decently educated people, and his party is a grassroots movement. That's what leaves me wondering when I see his MPs criticizing Renzi with the utmost nitpicking. For instance, today, when Renzi was speaking to the Chambers, he mentioned the Pakistani children who were killed by the Taliban, they started to shout "why don't you think about Italian children?". That's spine-chilling when you think that this party was born from a splinter of the left.
