And lying that Panama has agreed to remove fees for our ships.

Rubio being behind the Eileen Cannon nomination was all I needed to know about his competence for state. The only qualification she had for the federal bench was loyalty to Trump because experience sure didn't get her there.

No Swagger.

He is a complete moron, a disgrace to the race and the government position.

It sure seems these rich people do not care about dying people,starving people, stopping pandemics in 3rd world before they reach us. The richest country morally should help the poorest.

I saw Rubio mentioned today as trump 2.0s mick mulvaney. I’m sure Marco is destined to crash and burn

lbroom.bsky.social•116 days ago

All republicans have the requisite expertise to play both sides of the fiddle. In fact, they challenge each other to see how low they can go. Rubio is lower than average

prchovanec.bsky.social•116 days ago

Don’t forget the gulag deal with El Salvador.

aamac.bsky.social•116 days ago

Real high profile statesmanship there. How embarrassing for him.

lastgreatact.bsky.social•116 days ago

Approved 99-0 by the Senate.

We must not forget, government is lost.

States are all we have left to stand up to this nightmare we let happen.

He’s a figure head. He has trump/elon minders babysitting him 24/7 to make sure he parrots the admin lines and doesn’t go rogue. He’s Secretary of State in name only.

jcb-pgh.bsky.social•116 days ago

Didn’t we already know he’s a spineless coward? It shouldn’t have been a surprise.

wellhellno.bsky.social•116 days ago

True colors revealed, just as hideous as we could imagine.

bayless59.bsky.social•116 days ago

Agreed!..Secretary of State in name only! Empty suit…when he starts talking fast he’s feelin’ the pressure 😂

cogenteur.bsky.social•116 days ago

Also, Rubio is suddenly the boss of National Archives. Hate to think where that's going.

dbdant.bsky.social•116 days ago

Maybe he's a shape-shifting boggart - constantly changing his form to respond to whoever is looking at him.

daves211.bsky.social•116 days ago

The reason is simple: he’s ambitious, but he’s also a pussy.

I just don’t get these people. Why would anyone want a position that’s nothing more than a figurehead. Johnson has to obey, Thune has to obey, senators on the committees to confirm have to obey. They’re all just yes men, figureheads

daves211.bsky.social•116 days ago

Rubio absolutely cannot and will not be allowed to put his fingerprints on the state department. He just takes orders and must stay between the lines.

He just doesn’t have the mettle.

smalltownblue.bsky.social•116 days ago

He always looks like a hollow shell of a person. Sold his soul but his body is still going through the motions

bm1977.bsky.social•116 days ago

He was picked for the job because he is weak. Just another Trump stooge.

dek1.bsky.social•116 days ago

Don’t forget skipping the G20- orders from Elon, no support for Africa

coconutlizard.bsky.social•116 days ago

Even though he may have more credentials than the other top choices, he hasn’t shown the character needed for any government position.

coldpluto.bsky.social•116 days ago

I expected nothing from a fundamentalist christofascist whose early teenage job entailed watching over his BIL's cocaine inventory. Who as an adult racked up $100 thousands in credit card debt that magically vanished. Poof. When he decided to run for US Senate.

terrifiedstill2024.bsky.social•116 days ago

Well little marco is a dreadful person so……….

kccab.bsky.social•116 days ago

Rubio is pathetic. His only “principle” is to stroke his own ego —even if it means kissing Trump’s add

averybullard.bsky.social•116 days ago

Come on Steve. Trust him and be patient.

gockomo.bsky.social•116 days ago

Power hungry POS

yamilemarrero.bsky.social•115 days ago

Really as a Floridian I knew not to expect anything good. He is an errand child that’s all

jofromeurope.bsky.social•116 days ago

pro live killing thousands

canucksican.bsky.social•116 days ago

He’s nothing but a chimp. He has always been an idiot. It shouldn’t be surprising to anyone. He has a history of selling out his own people, the Latinos. He is nothing more than a self serving liar.
