Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

well let's hope he gets it done.

ever notice though how either side brings up legislation they know doesn't have a chance after they loose the majority? an example is the left harping on guns but when they have the majority they do nothing about it. the right voting to abolish the Affordable Care Act over 60 times when they knew it wouldn't pass and then voting the opposite way when they have the majority.

what do you call two politicians at the bottom of the sea? a good start....

We can only hope that it gets some traction this time around.

It is what it is - and these things too shall pass. It may pass like a kidney stone - but IT WILL PASS.

 He’d better be on the cigar side. Rubio has a large constituency in Miami where cigars are big business. Little Havana and, especially Calle Ocho, attract tourists as well as cigar lovers. You can watch cigars being rolled and also make purchases. Very important economically for his fellow Cuban-Americans.

You learn more by listening then you do from talking.

You can't leave out Ybor City, either.  Alot of Cigar history and Cigar makers there as well
