More than three dozen Democrats are taking heat for voting against a House resolution sponsored by a fellow Democrat calling for solidarity with Cubans after historic anti-government protests in the summer led to a brutal crackdown by authorities.

The 40 Democrats, mostly from the progressive caucus, voted "no" Wednesday to “expressing solidarity with Cuban citizens demonstrating peacefully for fundamental freedoms, condemning the Cuban regime’s acts of repression, and calling for the immediate release of arbitrarily detained Cuban citizens.”...

The Cubans claimed after the protests that it had a sudden outbreak of China Virus casualties. Symptoms include broken bones and multiple bullets to the back of the head. Asked to comment on the rising number of the dead the regime said it was also the worse outbreak of suicides they have ever seen.

Oops. AOC when reached for comment said feels bad for all the suffering the Cuban officials must be enduring with all this death surrounding them suddenly. She then returned to her Jigsaw puzzle hoping to beat the 3 to 5 year old deadline mentioned on the front of the box.

Nadler, Waters and McGovern have always been Marxists of some stripe all their congressional careers.

Joe McCarthy was tight. There are lots of communists in America.

Cuba went communist sixty years ago. There are no Cubans today who are not communist. This is like Afghan refugees who say they are fleeing Islam. I know quite a few Cubans who escaped Castro and the revolution. They are not the people who are wanting in now. Since Venezuela and the USSR can no longer send lots of foreign aid, the communists in Cuba are not eating too high on the hog.

You would get far more than 40 Democrats voting against a similar resolution “expressing solidarity with American citizens demonstrating peacefully for fundamental freedoms, condemning the American regime’s acts of repression, and calling for the immediate release of arbitrarily detained American citizens” for the January 6th Capitol walking tour.

We first need a spark. Then we need to pour gasoline on Cubas fire. Verbal taunting by a Marco Rubio or that new Va. Atty. General. A president Rubio inauguration address is too far fetched now. I was hoping it would happen when Fidel was alive. Let the Cubans decide if he deserved the Saddam Hussein treatment. Too late.

MBL could always get back in our good graces and put all their Cuban ball players on one team in Miami. Disperse the gringo ballplayers.
