Fireworks all over Key Largo tonight in celebration

of Fidel's death.

Large Cuban population and many Miami weekenders.

I would happily dance with them except that they were Trump voters, so I have to wonder if they didn't give up one devil for another.

Why does my life suddenly feel like an episode of Game of Thrones?

anyway? What does Trump have to do with Castro dying? He wants to bring back the
embargo that didn't work for 50 years.

And the 1% Cubans who ran to Miami with their money are still living in 1950 with their dreams of dominance. They supported a dictator, Batista, because he allowed them to exploit their fellow citizens.

Let them waste their money on meaningless celebration.
