Rep. Carlos Gimenez: "Cuba poses a security threat to the United States. President Trump has said, 'enough is enough.' We need Cuba to be democratic, free, and we need them to be a friend to the United States, not a foe."

One would think this gang of idiots would have more than enough on their plates at the moment, busy as their are having launched a war they are now actually managing to lose. But, hey, these are clearly highly gifted Big Thinkers.

Better yet, they've got MAGAJesus lighting the way as they help him dig that hole deeper.

America never learns lessons from the past. This 50-year old quote still applies:

"I saw a strange thing today. Some rebels were being arrested. One of them pulled the pin on a grenade. He took himself and the captain of the command with him. Now, soldiers are paid to fight; the rebels aren't."

"What does that tell you?"

"They can win."
