Lawyer's office

I did not watch Alan Gross on television today. I had much more interesting and engaging things to do  like take a walk and speak to acquaintances and strangers. I figure anyone who gets themselves arrested in a communist dictatorship for providing forbidden communication devices pretty much deserves what they get. 

What do they get? Access to the vaunted free healthcare that does not include dental. I learned Alan Gross lost a few teeth during his captivity. Cry me a wee rivulet. I don't expect so much as a river. 

And his choice of lawyers. Have a look at his office. 


Alan Gross praises "generous" Cubans. NY Post.
Obama Announces US and Cuba will resume relations NYT
Marco Rubio: Alan Gross release puts a price on the head of every American abroad ABC News. (auto play)
Marco Rubio on Cuba deal: Obama worst negotiator since Jimmy Carter TPM

Ew, that framed picture makes me angry, very angry indeed. Now I will have to annihilate your planet with my Uranium PU-36 Illudium radioactive space modu-lay-tor.

Just in the nick of time, Castro finds another left wing bozo to subsidize his Island paradise.

As I said elsewhere today (then in jest), Gross is Bergdahl II.

I blame the Pope!

Whether or not opening relations with Cuba is a good idea, changing a 50 year old national policy through secret negotiations with no public input is a damned rotten way to go about it.

I would like to know if the intelligence and foreign relations committee chairmen were kept informed along the way.

Rabel, I doubt it. Congress sure didn't have any input.

I've heard my whole life American Congress is considered, possibly by itself, as the most deliberative body on Earth.

But certainly not anymore.

Items are snuck into legislation at the last minute, always the crisis of last minute, SOP nowadays. So that changes to Dodd-Frank can be slipped in without attribution, without review, boom, done. And nobody, save for one person, know who did it. Now, as they say, profit is personalized while harm is socialized. All due to lobbying. Because, frankly, congressmen aren't smart enough to pull that off on their own.

US intel knew, their guy (non-American) was part of the swap, seven paragraphs in, while the secret talks (Ben Rhodes and John Kerry, were held in Canada and Vatican City.

U.S. also released three Cuban spies, part of five considered heroes in Cuba

Our Congress is broken and must be fixed!

↑ A locution I picked up from Democrat parrots.

Our healthcare system is broken and must be fixed

Our financial system is broken and must be fixed.

Our elections are broken and must be fixed.

Our minimum wage is broken and must be fixed.

Our equality is broken and must be fixed.

Our justice system is broken and must be fixed.

Our rape culture is broken and must be fixed.

Our school lunch program is broken and must be fixed.

Our ___ is broken and must be fixed.

The next time you hear that, and you will, know you are listening to a perfect idiot.

And not just a regular-perfect idiot, no, a supremely perfect idiot.

Wonderfull, you have a picture of Che in the background, and, wait! Is that an x-ray gun in the foreground?

virgil xenophon said...

Why yes, yes it is a Uranium model PU-36 Illudium radioactive space modulator, lol

That, when combined with that framed pic of Chec on the wall really says it all, doesn't it. A picture really IS worth 10,000 words!

Che Guevara was a violent Marxist, responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of Cubans. He led the brigade that sized all private lands in Cuba on Castro's behalf.

And idiots like that lawyer (and Jay Carney, on whose wall that same portrait appeared in a magazine article about his home life) continue to lionize him.

Far lefties have a thing about admiring murderous dictators, whether Che, Fidel or Mao. Sick.

The pope needs to be a big right-winger. If that happens, I might start going to church again. Hard to imagine how long it would take me to confess my sins though.

Robot word: urped

AllenS said...

I look at Christie Brinkley and I have impure thoughts.

Robot word: omaji

AllenS said...

I have nothing more to say.

Robot word: vaied

AllenS - the new, improved post VaticanII Church has a group reconciliation thingie. All the faithful need do is show up at a special service and blammo! absolution for everything except mortal sins. Most Masses begin with it as well.

For the mortals, you still need confession, but it's pretty simple. You can always phone ahead if you've got a full wheelbarrow and they'll hold the door open for ya.
