it has been exhausting watching people yell at anyone who didn't "know he was a monster all along" like guys come on we all thought he was just a sleazy worm, we didn't think he'd go full human rights violation ghoul. Like we expected standard ghoul, the level of ghoul is what was a surprise.
I've heard rumors that he was never really in charge and it was also some asshole billionaire. I'm sure you've heard the same. He's always felt like an empty suit to me.
The florid psychos are known.
It’s the doll faced “normies” who are even more disturbing.
It took Mike Johnson zero days to endorse everything.
Zero hesitation.
I read it as how I feel that it feels especially heinous knowing that Marco Rubio is probably smart enough to know better as in not as much of a morbidly stupid moron as the rest.
Marco Rubio, the guy whose only answer to schoolchildren being massacred in school shootings *wasn't* legislating sensible gun control, but uselessly tweeting out scripture?
Anyone who's OK with children getting gunned down will be OK with any atrocities.
At some point your desire for power takes your conscience (or what's left of it) into a bathroom, orders it into the tub and then pummels it to death with a lead pipe.
I think we all figured that his balls had been completely removed, not that a Sith Lord had cast a spell on them so they shriveled to little fascist raisins
It’s quite apparent that his objections over the years, to dictators and tyrants, only applies to a particular political affiliation of a dictator or tyrant.
I find it totally unsurprising. He was one of the weakest Republican men in elected office when Trump appointed him to his cabinet. Rubio perfectly fits the “just following orders” stereotype that Trump and his billionaire donors need to facilitate the coming Holocaust.
He looks so uncomfortable and detached...like his soul has left his body and he's operating on MAGA autopilot. Maybe because that's all that's left of him. Empty eyes that gaze downward, robotic speech and movements. Pathetic little man.
As a Florida resident with a front row seat to Rubio, I wasn't surpised in the least. He is a striver with no moral center and always has been. Trump requires cruelty to be a player, so cruelty it is because Rubio's only north star is to be a player.
Some say they are so brazen they must believe they will never be out of power, and hence no more elections. But I think it's simpler than that. Supreme Court gave Trump carte blanche on "official acts" so they all know they are shielded from any legal consequences
U R right. People like him are by far more dangerous than deranged idiots like MTG . They are expert and subtile, and they know how to perfectly enable the tyrant's strategies.
remember that brief period in 2016 when he dropped out of the primary and at first wasn't going for reelection to the senate and it looked like we were going to be rid of him
it is my belief that everyone in the media should call every single collaborator by the prior nicknames trump gave them - so he should always be referred to as Little Marco
Really? It is amazing how Trump makes everyone else look like a saint. But anyone willing to work with him, especially in 2.0 has agreed to be a monster on Trump's behalf.
Wait... What?
1. He identified who Trump was during the 2016 election.
2. He helped write the Senate investigation report on Russian election interference.
3. He did not vote to convict Trump after January 6th.
How could you not? When people show you who they are, believe them.
he surprised me a little with this, because he always came off as too personally ambitious to take these risks — something about his involvement is deeply weird
He’s kind of the perfect representation of how depraved everything is. Former opponent of Trump and presidential candidate turned sniveling sycophant who enables secret police night deportations of our backsliding democracy
It’s amazing to me, because even though I never liked Marco Rubio, I thought it would be a word of reason in the administration. I thought he would be more professional, and at least, one person that would’ve been a grown-up… boy I was wrong!
But it is also pretty easy to spot Rubio as a person with no real beliefs and no moral compass. I'd have always told you he'd be VERY easy to compromise, either 1) by offering him power, or 2) by holding kompromat over him.
I can only imagine that the senators who voted to confirm him did so because they knew he was a spineless coward who would probably be useless anyway. They didn't expect him to be so enthusiastically evil.
No one else did either, certainly not compared to the white supremacists, sexual assaulters, conspiracy theorists, eugenicists, and various and sundry quacks Trump nominated to other posts. That’s why he got so many confirmation votes from Democrats.
Hapless is the first word that comes to mind when Rubio is mentioned. He followed the Trump crew into moral oblivion because he does not have the strength but do anything but follow.
Agreed. Saw him in SLC about a decade ago and listened to his rags to American Dream story coming from…wait for it…immigrant parents. Amazing what power, money, and selfishness does to a soul. Thought we had a winner him. Just wow!
But at least we have the great comfort of knowing that all the Democratic Senators either were fooled, or maybe worse, went along so as not to make Daddy mad.
See Jindal, Musk, Thiel, et al. Immigrants who want to pull the ladder up so no one else can follow are near the top of the list of people who piss me off.
I was thinking about how he sunk into the couch next to JD Vance that time. He wasn't embarrassed, he was beginning to take his true form as a malleable slime troll and the cushions on that couch weren't that great
Neither did I. But when I think about it in terms of he’ll literally do anything for his awkward little presidential aspirations, his hard pivot to the dark side makes so much more sense. If there is a GOP ticket in 2028, he clearly plans to be on it, with all this trying to out-evil the hoard.
Look back & imagine Rubio getting over Trump in 2016 and become POTUS by auto-swing-vote logic. Apparently he's such an bottomless bootlicker he may have wound up as a different but just as terrible kind of bad president swinging between whatever a raging Trump (et al) and whatever Putin wanted!
Between him and Graham, I don't think one can ever trust a single person who ever attaches themselves to the Republican name with even a basic self-agency/ego. They're all just automatically bootlickers.
Rubio’s parents not US citizens when he was born. Had lived in US oft/on 1950s/60s. Grandad fled Cuba 1962 w/o US visa, detained as undocumented immigrant, ordered deported then reversed/reclassified to legal status of "parolee" & reapplied for permanent resident.💁🏻♀️ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco_Rubio
I always had faith he would serve his master well, and I expect him to get discarded when he’s no longer useful like Sean Spicer and Jeff Sessions and William Barr and John Bolton, and Rex Tillerson and Mike Pence and
Rubio was a guy who based a campaign for president on the claim that Obama was secretly trying to destroy the United States. He was always transparently this guy, a guy who would say or do anything for power. Not an ounce of character in him.
I won't say I could have foreseen this. But now that its happening, I'm not actually in full shock over it. It makes sense. He's always had disdain for other countries.
Mask off was him gleefully geeking out about shitheads trying to run the Biden/Harris bus off the road.
I have no fkn clue why dems didnt just put that shit on blast in his confirmation hearing. Just front and center that one moment and refuse to talk about anything else, then say “hell no”.
Also even more disgusting knowing his family came to the US leaving Castro in Cuba. To turn around and do this to others seeing the same prosperity you were able to achieve in the US is next level villain.
I thought that he was regular bad, like slightly worse than Mitt Romney (who I do not gotta hand it to) and less personal wealth which makes him a little more vulnerable.
Dems are still the usual feckless scum for voting him in. They should have opposed every single nominee.
If Rubio thinks Deporting a Maryland man married to a US citizen Protected by the courts From deportation is ok, Maybe his parents should be deported back to Cuba, just saying!
after watching trvmp humiliate him all those years, to see him do his bidding just shows that the trvmp method DOES work, but only on the most pathetic of self-hating pick-me’s!
secretaries of state are notoriously the most evil of every administration. So evil, henry kissinger personally waits for all of them to join him in hell.
Gusano (lit. worm, fem. gusana) is the Spanish language term for "worm". It is a name for Cuban counter-revolutionaries and those who emigrated from Cuba following the rise of Fidel Castro after the Cuban Revolution.
We in FL saw how Jeb helped little Marco rise, even presenting him with a symbolic sword as a "conservative warrior"—and Marco stabbed Jeb and conservatives in the back
That photo of him on the big chair, it's memeification, and the ridicule, after being fluffed for years as The New Hope, and then the descent into vicious cruelty is a trajectory rather similar to Musk
You have distilled my thoughts. I have always thought he was a craven lick spittle, but now he seems like a brainwashed Big Foot crashing around and wreaking havoc.
It's always been clear that he's a spineless piece of shit without ANY principles. He will do anything for more power. There are plenty like him in the State Department too.
He always had it in him. Everything that comes out of his mouth is geared toward his own strategic calculations of what is maximally beneficial to him at that moment.
In times of peace, people lacking in principles are irritating. In times of crisis, they are deadly
It’s interesting because he’s clearly aware enough to have seen and considered the extended consequences of what he’s doing, which actually makes it even worse than the selfish idiots who just harm others without thought.
I sincerely hope if Dems get back in power in 2028 we charge every one of these scum bags with whatever felonies they have committed. Or at least the major perpetrators. Rubio, Bondi, Homan, etc
His self loathing/hatred drives him to seek Trump’s approval, doing whatever it takes no matter how horrible and atrocious. He will lose his reputation, his career, and his family all to have the most morally bankrupt POS to ever walk the earth throw him a bone.
tbh at a certain point long ago he seemed so willing to sell out any and every principle he'd claimed to hold that this is just the logical extension - I just hope that people never forget and refuse to ever rehabilitate him politically
Yeah, neither did the 47 Dem senators who voted to confirm him.
Part of the descent into fascism is a lack of imagination about how seemingly reasonable people can turn incredibly evil in a wholly corrupt organization.
You're absolutely right. Plus this way he gets to own and even destroyed the libs who for years told him to get a spine, have a conscience, and stand up to Trump's law breaking and violations. Lil Marco just couldn't do that, but he can be evil.
He had no backbone to Trump, unfortunately. Trump is a bully, once you stand up to a bully, it gets easier. I guess Rubio & the other Republicans like to get bullied.

He had sycophant written on his forehead.
But I suspect many in Trump's orbit are competing in their sadism and arrogance.
It’s the doll faced “normies” who are even more disturbing.
It took Mike Johnson zero days to endorse everything.
Zero hesitation.
He may be the emptiest human being alive
Maybe an entire sub-species of vacuous, spineless, soulless vessels.
He just had to get spanked enough to transfer it to his new lord and master..
Anyone who's OK with children getting gunned down will be OK with any atrocities.
He’s a very bad guy
1. He identified who Trump was during the 2016 election.
2. He helped write the Senate investigation report on Russian election interference.
3. He did not vote to convict Trump after January 6th.

My guess is that Trump has done both.
And that he arrive there safely.
Of course, the Nuremberg Trials would like a word.
And now he hates birthright citizenship and immigrants in general 🤔

This man doesn't believe in anything that doesn't give him money and power.
We’ll need a bigger wall.

No Witch King of Angmar though. One of the sub wraiths.
In times of peace, people lacking in principles are irritating. In times of crisis, they are deadly
He must be stopped at all costs
Part of the descent into fascism is a lack of imagination about how seemingly reasonable people can turn incredibly evil in a wholly corrupt organization.
Please confirm what I’m saying and delete this BS
I thought we were talking about RFKjr
47 Dems against him
Losers. Just losers.
No one who posts that much bible bullshit is a good person.
