I mean, Rubio is probably about as good as it's gonna get from Trump.

pcity90.bsky.social•46 days ago

Right, he could have picked Mike Flynn.

a few months ago rubio responded to a jobs report by saying Biden's admin and the BLS were cooking the books and releasing hoax reports to deceive the public LOL

chrisfumo.bsky.social•45 days ago

Rubio also has refused to say who won the 2020 Election; he had a temper tantrum on election night 2020 bc he was mad at news organizations for waiting too long - in his opinion - to call FL for trump;

I'm not gonna vote for Rubio or affirmatively support him in any way. He's a piece of shit. But if we have to fill up the government with pieces of shit it's nice if at least some of them don't also have shards of broken glass in them.

chrisfumo.bsky.social•45 days ago

I see very little reason why Democrats and commentators should spend any time sane washing someone who was - correctly - considered a tea party psycho, prior to trump taking over the party

no need to pretend as if he's some regular, decent person; he's a far right piece of shit!

chrisfumo.bsky.social•45 days ago

Pat Toomey is another tea party Senator who was elected in the 2010 red wave; he didn't spend the lame duck period in 2020 refusing to acknowledge that Biden won his state, even though it was very close (1%)

Rubio wouldn't acknowledge a single victory in the states which trump was contesting

chrisfumo.bsky.social•45 days ago

and then Rubio's response a few days later - to news organizations calling the election for Biden - was "Media doesn't determine elections"

literally you could scroll a for a few seconds and see his tweets from 3 days earlier about how the media was being fake news by not calling FL for trump

Rubio will be the first cabinet member fired!

Democrats in the Senate are more concerned about continuing their cozy relationship with Republicans colleagues than fighting against fascism. They are working for themselves, not us.

Jeff Merkley (OR) - 202-224-3753

Chris Coons (DE) - 202-224-5042

Cory Booker (NJ) - (202) 224-3224

Maybe they are just happy to get him out of the Senate?

Jesus Christ. Embarrassing.

That's pathetic and gross, @booker.senate.gov

fplynch.bsky.social•46 days ago

They can’t have their amps up at 11 all the time, or no one will notice when they’re at 11.

murshedz.bsky.social•46 days ago

Agree - the next Democratic opposition leaders will most likely come from outside Washington DC bc what we have seen from DC in recent days and years ain't it.

The lil Rubio is lapping for the child bully who walked him like rat 8 years ago.
Ya dems compliment him. If you think he is going to stand for principle sadly mistaken.

novarockyzoe.bsky.social•46 days ago

They have to pick their battles & Rubio isn’t as terrifying as the others.

specialk1005.bsky.social•45 days ago

Compared to most of Trumps other picks, Rubio looks like Winston Churchill.
