1. Good!!!!!

2. Cuban doctors are renowned around the world for their skills and their assistance to developing nations.

[Deuxcents]

4. Yes, they are. NOVA on PBS as a documentary from 2020 about the collaboration between Cuban medical scientists

And Rosewell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center featuring medical therapies and how Rosewell Park was the first American research center to sponsor clinical trials between the two.

3. We sure are good about ragging on other countries' business but we can't keep our ducks in a row

Rubio, et all should STFU

[Prairie Gates]

5. Rubio and the rest of the MAGAs just hold objectively false ideological beliefs

and spout them out as if nobody will say, hey, wait a minute. Rubio is also supposed to be the top US diplomat. DIPLOMAT. He's supposed to behave diplomatically, not walk into a press conference and insult his hosts. It's so incredibly condescending to believe that there is some cohort of foreign workers just working away in Jamaica as forced laborers, as if 1) those workers have no agency and 2) Jamaica has no labor laws and 3) Jamaica is unable to enforce international labor standards within its own borders. Like what the fuck? That's our top diplomat?

I mean, I get that Rubio is a of Cuban heritage and has held absolutely nutty ideological beliefs about Cuba all his life, but why did he have to belittle his hosts in Jamaica in the bargain? It's just so fucking tactless and unnecessary.

6. Little Marco shrinks even more

7. I actually have a Cuban Primary Doctor here in Florida.

I wouldn't trade him for anyone!
