Fake cigars will only last a short while. W/ the embargo lifted, the price of cigars will plummet.

Fake cigars will only last a short while. W/ the embargo lifted, the price of cigars will plummet.

Also, there will soon be an abundance of fully restored 50's cars, causing the prices on them to come down.

Maybe not on the cigars. Since we're the only country participating in the embargo, prices here will probably be about what they are in Asia and Europe.

The 50s cars there aren't really restored in the American sense. Lots of parts home built or for different models that are made to fit just to keep the car going.

My point wasn't fully elaborated. The embargo isn't completely lifted and you can only bring back $100 worth of cigars, therefore the majority that you end up seeing for sale will most likely be fake.

The brothers have to do 3 things to have the embargo legally lifted: (i) allow free elections, (ii) release all political prisoners, and (iii) remove restrictions on freedom of expression. This has all been codified into U.S. law. President Nig can't just waive this with a signature. And we all know these two Commies are going to die as Commies. Fidel is aghast at China an how they have managed to combine a semi-capitalist economy into the Socialist structure. But the Castro brothas ain't Socialists. They're Commies. They think Marx was a softie.

Fidel should be injected with Ebola blood from a Ghanan nigress and have his demise captured on film for another Seth Rogen film, obviously to be released by Sony Pictures and broadcast Radio Marti-style into North Currey-a.

The president doesn't really have the power to lift the embargo. It's a congressional matter. Funny how this occurs at the same time of harsh new sanctions against Venezuela

Too bad really Cuba was one place where you could go and you wouldn't find the drunken obnoxious American..[Mind you-Yankee pussy is pretty good.]

Europeans and Canadians have been going there for years...Shitty Hotels Crappy food Average golf courses Average woman Good beach..

Tourists are restricted to where they can go-to Parts of Havana and Varedero.

Lots of Woman/Hookers abound they'll fuck you for a twenty dollar chain around your neck..

It's proven a successful strategy keep the people hungry so there main concern is trying to find something to eat..So they ain't got no time to be causing shit..

And with all Cuban women remember to take a bar of soap with you..

I disagree with Rubio on this.....

It really is because Cuba taught Chavez how to rule.

What's funnier is that JFK started the embargo by Executive Order.

He may not have the power Constitutionally, but does that matter anymore. Presidents have been slowly setting precedents increasing Executive power since FDR. It certainly didn't start with our Boy King.

I'm thinking the motivation for this whole thing is to break the lease regarding Guantanamo.

Only because he's a beaner

Presidents have been expanding their powers since the beginning, Lincoln taking the most liberties (and getting away with it) for what many now consider good purpose.

If you call a .50 cal ball in the back of the noggin getting away with it. I was thinking in the modern era, but you're right. Up until maybe the turn of the 20th Century, it could maybe be written off as growing pains or fine tuning the system. Not so much now.

Now, the executive branch makes marginal adjustments to wide sweeping policies and purposefully allows them to be interpreted however need be, that trend largely starting with FDR as you say.

You're insane..!!

Just because a lone assassin ended his life does not mean he did not get a pass by the other branches of government and the majority of the nation but your other points are well taken.

You're insane..!!

You're ignorant.

I don't think he got any passes, from the very beginning. He was hugely unpopular, and not just in the South. Like JFK. He became a saint when he took his last breath. Everything before was forgotten.

Or, maybe earlier. Like with Washington, Hamilton, the Necessary and Proper clause, and the First Bank of the United States. This stuff, and the attendant argument, have been with us since the beginning. It ebbs and it flows. Getting all Pepperidge Farm remembering a simpler time before FDR is an exercise in amnesia.

Yup, and worse for both: Their mantles were taken up by the very folks that despised 'em.
