Horrifying.

semifluent.bsky.social•34 days ago

And even Bernie voted for this prick. Fuck all of the Dems in the Senate. They knew exactly who he is and still green lighted him. Get rid of them all and elect people willing to fight these assholes on whatever level is necessary.

These students are not drug dealers, committed any crimes yet he feels just because they made statements on some media or wrote something not along Trump’s lines Rubio is playing judge, jury and prison warden.

martijon.bsky.social•34 days ago

Too bad his parents were welcomed into this country.

dvbee.bsky.social•30 days ago

Rubio sold his soul. Democracy is dying. Moreover, MAGA is a cult. Therefore, republicans that keep Trump in power now are collaborators in this cruel nightmare.

eddierat.bsky.social•34 days ago

Rubio exhibits the behavior of all weak and pathetic people in the face of fascism.

raraweez.bsky.social•34 days ago

We must start calling this what it is. Illegal Government Kidnapping. Lawmakers and anyone with a voice should use consistent, simple, appropriate language for this. Illegal. Government. Kidnappings.

Time for Rubio to go back to Cuba. Via Venezuela would be nice too.

czarreed.bsky.social•34 days ago

Fortunately we can breathe easy, because every Senate Dem gave Rubio a close look and said “this is someone who would make an excellent Secretary of State.”

textualdeviance.bsky.social•34 days ago

My theory is that a lot of them, especially the long-termers, mistakenly believed at least some of their GOP colleagues were friends or at least sensible enough to temper Trump. They simply didn't see them for who they really are.

chuck-kirby.bsky.social•33 days ago

The truly pathetic thing about Rubio is that he knows this is wrong but he's doing it to gain favor with Trump.

mark-renn.bsky.social•34 days ago

So no proof just accusations, welcome to the new USA

bugbear6502.bsky.social•34 days ago

Analysing the law is all well and good, but MAGA have made it clear that they are going to ride roughshod over the courts.

The nuances of law don't matter if there's no effective enforcement.

lightspeedsara.bsky.social•34 days ago

😡 And this is a boy whose parents came to America as immigrants from Cuba?

He’s kind of brown. Let’s deport him.

I’m so confused. I thought Marco fled FROM Castro, but he acts like he’d work FOR Castro.

experimental22.bsky.social•34 days ago

Marco Rubio is a MAGA Nazi . . . not for ideological reasons but because he is too craven and cowardly not to be one. He is one of the weakest, most pathetic humans in American history. He is a noodle of a man.

johndettling.bsky.social•34 days ago

The timing of the Tufts student is odd. Arrested a day after an op-ed? How did the government even know about this op-ed? Did someone inform? Is government monitoring student newspapers? Did she do more actions than an op-ed?

christinermiki.bsky.social•34 days ago

The op-ex was written almost a year ago. As someone mentioned, these students have been targeted and names handed over to (most likely) Stephen Miller.

johndettling.bsky.social•34 days ago

Stand corrected

olympicdane.bsky.social•34 days ago

There are Israeli groups targeting protesters. They give lists to the trump administration

mattchamberlain42.bsky.social•34 days ago

Maybe that is another area to stop this madness.

chriskeppler.bsky.social•34 days ago

After the Trump carnage is over, Rubio will be the first guy to use the “I served to keep Trump under control” defense.

Meanwhile, he’s keeping Daddy happy by emulating Trump’s cruelty towards minorities.

ghall202.bsky.social•33 days ago

Rubio just killed his political career by joining the grifting dictator trump people are not going to accept this dictatorship I eliminated who knows how many people for this country because politicians like these said they were a danger well it’s the dangerous politicians now

They really are acting like they’re going to be in power forever and will never have to face consequences. And without a functional Congress, I think we are fvcked.

cenglishross.bsky.social•34 days ago

That’s true. They’re horrible either because they finally have power and will inflict pain because they were mocked (Rubio) or they finally have the power they long wanted and would never get that they’ll do the bidding of the man who gave them the power (Dudek at SSA).

julesp1.bsky.social•34 days ago

Could someone anyone just kick this guts petty ass, just trying to retaliate for his shortcomings

martyd409.bsky.social•34 days ago

Whether I ever disagreed with him or not on any individual issue in the past or whether or not I thought him qualified for President when he'd jump in there...
I surely NEVER DREAMED he could be such a vile, hate-filled person who would ignore due process and freedom of speech.
NEVER.
SHAMEFUL.
😡

colwildotcom.bsky.social•33 days ago

It's insane to think these folks think it's OK to round up students and throw them into a detention centre with no due process. This is the kind of thing that's common in dictatorships... oh wait. The strange thing is most Americans don't see how dangerous this is. They start with foreigners...

atltoyyz.bsky.social•34 days ago

Really makes you wonder what the orange lump has on Rubio.

chadbeneke.bsky.social•33 days ago

Rubio will go down in history as a monster.

ejtaub.bsky.social•34 days ago

So glad you had Shev on the pod! She's great!! Thanks for talking to an expert on immigration law.

popssquared.bsky.social•34 days ago

At some point people are going to start to rebel and then Marco's family will be in the crosshairs... hurt enough people and they will eventually respond in kind.

polittlecat.bsky.social•34 days ago

He knows what he's doing is very wrong and it's showing in his face.

iustitia100.bsky.social•34 days ago

He knows and it shows.

Have you looked closely at his face?

His face has changed. He's ugly.

polittlecat.bsky.social•34 days ago

You can tell the ones who have had to stuff their basic humanity to serve Trump, it shows in their face and body language. It doesn't show on the ones who are evil to the bone. He knows he's compromising his integrity and whatever credibility he had. It will eat him up.

iustitia100.bsky.social•34 days ago

It looks that way. He's an opportunist, but it was obvious he didn't want to go these extremes.

He looked uncomfortable at the Zelensky meeting. He committed after that, because he knows there's no going back for him.

idoamir.bsky.social•34 days ago

Marco Rubio has become a Nazi.

(1) Astonishing
(2) We will hold him to account. He has no idea what's coming to him.

lifeis2short4this.bsky.social•34 days ago

Gee, one would hardly know that he’s a first generation son of “foreigners.”

heyche.bsky.social•34 days ago

An evil man who wants to be a dictator himself. Rubio has lost whatever dignity he had.

okay7.bsky.social•34 days ago

Rubio’s “purifying” the nation. Thinking back to my college days in a small college town, my roommates were a mennonite, the daughter of a black career army and a japanese woman, and an Oklahoman. They and various college students from other backgrounds were eye opening. Rubio doesn’t want that.

The implications in the U.S. are horrendous, savaging the Rule of Law, but there are also very, very serious implications for any/all Americans who travel or live abroad.

Rubio has put the safety of Americans at risk.

Not sure buttttt......has ANY journalist anywhere done a very deep dive into Marco Rubio's past, going back to his middle/high school years of age, year by year forward, to his entry into politics to current status?? If that's out there, I have NOT seen it!! If it exists, I'd like to know!!

sferrara.bsky.social•34 days ago

The son of Cuban immigrants is targeting foreign students ... wow.

cutterjohn.bsky.social•34 days ago

I have some Cuban immigrant friends here in the Florida Panhandle and they hate Rubio. It's always been easy for me to see why; he's a craven irredeemable SOB. A pious religious phony. Fuck that guy.

mysteryshopper.bsky.social•34 days ago

Definitely gives off the Iberian supremacist vibe that Cubans are known for among other Hispanic groups.

Skin color isn't the only defining factor.

naveman.bsky.social•34 days ago

This is the op ed that Rumeysa Ozturk is being deported for. It’s a quick read & even if you disagree with her position it is far from a ‘ruckus’. It’s mild & no way offensive. There is no call to violence, threats, nothing. The regime is down punching & bullying.

I think "white adjacent" is the term. Sell out his own people and their struggles for a little bit of power ... "Little Marco" tells you all you need to know about his integrity.
