is anyone else bothered by how quickly Obammey normalized relations with communist Cuba without any congressional debate and with nary a peep out of the GOPe?

he’s not a damned emperor. those RINOs in congress need to stop genuflecting and going along with his every wish. ‘RATS NEVER go along with GOPe presidents.

they really are the stupid party. i hate the GOPe. no, that’s not correct. i loathe the GOPe.
