    The thing is Rubio probably learned with maturity that such language isn't helpful in dealing with a pariah like Vladimir Putin. It is not as if you are going to shame Putin into capitulating.

    Those banking on Trump firing a bunch of cabinet members within 1 or 2 years are the same ones who were banking on a Kamala victory a week ago.

    When does history and past performance reflect future performance? Just when you want it to?

    Rubio is taking no prisoners in his rhetoric. He might have taken himself out of the running and opened the door for Tulsi. Never get ahead of Trump. Always defer and say you have to ask your puppet master to tell you what to say.

    former RNC chair Michael Steele lambasted Rubio...

    "I've known Marco a long, long time, and this is a guy who always, particularly in the Senate, fought very openly about the democracy piece and how important it was for the U.S. to use its soft power

    And here he is now at the State Department and what does he have to do? He has to do what Donald Trump tells him to do, to do those things that go exactly counter to what he's always stood for

    In the Senate, Rubio was a lead sponsor of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, which had broad support from both parties in Congress. But now here he is firing 60 contractors working on those very issues," he explained. "Those issues are no longer a priority because they aren't a priority for this president. What do you make of this? I call it the punking of Republicans by Trump to get them to do the things that they know they would never do otherwise."

    Little Marco is a spineless turd. Sat and watched while Trump killed all US foreign aid, crippling our global soft power, making the world tremendously far worse off.












    So that Trump, Elon and their cronies can get a tax break.




    Edit; I love getting the neg rating but not having to waste time seeing the crummy GIF.
