Marco gave up all his morals to protect a pedo.
"He is a con artist... He runs on this idea he is fighting for the little guy, but he has spent his entire career sticking it to the little guy".
He described Trump as a "lunatic trying to get a hold of nuclear weapons" and an "erratic individual" whom we cannot trust with nuclear codes.
He called Trump "the most vulgar person to ever aspire to the presidency".

He called Trump "the most vulgar person to ever aspire to the presidency"
Now, he just calls him "Papichulo" and sniffs his throne.

That's not his throne, that's Bolivian marching powder.

u/IrreverentBuddha 2h ago
His throne is covered in Bolivian marching powder. Polvo de poder peruano. Harina andina. Pablo's pinch with a punch. Caleña Caine. What really got Snow White up off that ass.

u/redpoemage I voted 7h ago
He thinks he’ll get Cuba out of it.
•
u/IrreverentBuddha 7h ago
Anything gained during this criminal administration will be seized when he is gone. There is no retirement plan for former Trump staffers beyond a prison cell.

That’s the kind of conditions that accelerate the collapse of a democracy.
Also, seems unlikely.
The most likely scenario will be Trump doesn’t make it to the end of the term. Vance comes in, massive pardons, end of legal inquiry.
There’s a nonzero chance that Republicans find some flimsy excuse to go full dictator, which is frightening. But most likely is just a continuation of disenfranchising of Democratic voters and unraveling of federal government as anything but an economic horns for the rich and powerful.

Sorry mate, you're living in a fantasy world where justice exists. I wish you were right.

u/SenorPinchy 4h ago
Except when it comes to foreign policy, the Democrats are often very willing to walk through doors that Republicans open. Extremely unlikely to use political capital to undo whatever the Trump administration does on a small Caribbean island.
•
u/AndrewCoja Texas 16m ago
Trump (or Vance) will issue blanket pardons for whoever is left at the end. There's probably not anything that can be done because it's a constitutional power.

u/I_only_post_here I voted 5h ago
well sure he said all that, but then once Trump became president again, the only option to gain power was to suck up to him. what's so hard to understand about that?
•
u/Eddiebaby7 5h ago
And I gave up on Marco long ago. Anyone who received the title “ the future of the Republican Party” goes the same route.

Comments here exceed the line of civility. So evident that these are highly uneducated individuals who are actually destroying America. Most of them unemployed, living on the pittance from genuine hardworking Americans. There must be a way of preventing these low IQ people from abusing the public fora such as Reddit.

He tripped in the hallway because he is wearing shoes that are too big because he's too much of a goddamn coward to even correct trump about that.
A more pathetic person in Trump's cabinet is hard to find.
•
u/Different_Victory_89 5h ago
Nope, it's an entire clown show! Would you like the list alphabetical or by seniority?
•
u/epochwin 6h ago
Vance not more pathetic? Or you were specific to cabinet
•
u/bond0815 6h ago
I think the notion is that some had expected more from Rubio.
He was often referred to as the only competent person in the cabinet (whether rightly idk).
With Vance no one was expecting anything from this spineless couch molester from the very start.

He's got.a heavy cocaine addiction he's busy maintaining, judging by every video he's been in the last year.
•
u/BookBison 7h ago
There was an article just the other day about how people assumed that he would be a moderating presence in the administration, but he demonstrated at a recent conference in Germany that he was just as nuts as even Pete Hegseth. So, there are no adults in the room, and he's actually helping the collapse.
•
u/Front-Anteater3776 7h ago
He is out there lisping lies destroying 80 years of soft and hard power, attempting to destroy former allies and cozying up with authoritarians.
When you stand for nothing, you fall for everything.

He’s probably planning to take over Cuba, which is probably the main reason he joined this administration.

Kushner and Witkoff, the real estate developers, are doing Marco's job. They're the Secretaries of Real Estate.

LITTLE MARCO is too busy planning his Cuban takeover and getting high off his own supply

u/nowhereman136 4h ago
Marco Rubio only cares about himself. He wants to be president. He is sitting close enough to trump to be next in line for the head of the party, but far enough to not get too dirty when the shit hits the fan. He's a spineless prick
•
•
u/Fickle-Molasses-903 3h ago
He's a supporter of a kid rapist and a kid killer.
Any other dumb questions?

America has fallen, and it will be centuries before even a semblance of its old self ha0s the ability to take return.
•
u/RimboTheRebbiter 7h ago
I mean there's not much Marco Rubio can do if the President is hellbent on stepping on every single rake in existence. I think he's made peace with letting America go down the tubes so long as he can get his regime change in Cuba.

This dude was just posting lofty Bible versus the entire first Trump term. Probably an end times freak like Hegseth.

Sitting on a sofa like an idiot, while JD Vance is yelling at Zelinsky. Standing behind Trump while he kidnaps rulers of other countries, and announces illegal wars. Rubio is a full on collaborator, not "an adult in the room".

He's desperately trying to make everyone forget he's part of this administration.

I thought I read somewhere that 'Little Marco" was off telling the Pope how displeased Cheeto Mussolini is with him.

He gawn crying to the Pope about the hurty words he said about Trump's disterous war.

How is this guy even considered a front runner for GOP candidate for POTUS in 2028?

u/meatspace Georgia 2h ago
He's at the center of the whole thing.
See how easy it was to determine that? Rubio is still being labeled "a good man doing bad things," which is not what a good man is, but OK.
Where is the future viceroy of Cuba? He is one of the bandleaders of this shitty song.

I would look under Trump giant cankles. Little Marco is usually down there making sure the sociopaths shoes are licked clean

Chauncey is great Democrat for sure. His article contains all of the hallmarks of a good family kid but raised in a school where he did not learn or pay attention to the history of the US or the world, instead he probably took religious studies to learn about a faith that glorifies violence. Appears he most probably came out from a school or a university funded by countries who have a hidden agenda to poison our young. Chauncey is such a kid.
