Trump plans to put some restrictions on Cuba again pushed by Cuban Americans like Marco Rubio.

He's making a talk in Miami right now about it in front of the Cuban American community.

Although, one thing I am content with is that he's not reinstating the "wet foot, dry foot" policy.


I want to know what Cubans would think if they started getting American goods.

A combination of milking praise from the Cuban Exiles and FUCKOBAMA.

Republicans will applaud as long as Trump does the opposite of what Obama did on any issue.

Trump's attorney hires an attorney.

President Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, has hired his own attorney as the special counsel investigation into Russian election interference progresses, NBC News reported Friday.

Cohen has hired Washington, D.C., attorney Stephen M. Ryan, according to NBC's Katy Tur.

A source told Tur that Cohen will testify before the House Intelligence Committee on Sept. 5, adding that the testimony was delayed due to "scheduling and logistics."

Tur also reported that Michael Caputo, a communications adviser brought on board the Trump campaign by Paul Manafort, has been contacted by the FBI. Caputo has also hired his own attorney — former New York state Attorney General Dennis Vacco.

Caputo was asked in May to testify before the House Intelligence Committee.

Cohen and Caputo aren't the only figures connected to Trump who have hired their own attorneys. Trump hired an attorney to represent him in the investigation in late May, while Vice President Pence's staff announced Thursday that he had hired Virginia attorney Richard Cullen.

Is that lawyer going to hire their own lawyer? Is Trump just trying to make jobs for lawyers?

How the fuck does something like that get delayed for three months for scheduling reasons?

Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Considering the current political climate, it's not out of the question to see people this close to the President and his daily dealings find council for themselves, especially when you consider how likely it is that anybody involved with communications between Trump and...well, anyone... is likely to be subpoenaed.

Smart for those involved, but still a hilarious move to watch.
