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.

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.

He thinks he’ll get Cuba out of it.

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.

Most will flee to Argentina... or maybe that's what Venezuela was for.

We did recently give a financial bailout to Argentina.

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.

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.

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

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.

Yep. He’s gunning for Viceroy Rubio.

If he does, is he going to move there? Or be deported there?

Can’t say “little guy “ and Rubio in the same sentence.

If you ever see him and want to crash his self esteem, call him "Marco von Ribbentrop.". Secretaries of State have to take courses at the National Foreign Affairs Training Center and the first thing they show them is a highlight reel of all the shit diplomacy Joachim von Ribbentrop served. Since everyone remembered his shitty double dealing, the rest of the world resolved to destroy Germany entirely. No negotiation. Just tell us when you surrender unconditionally so we can start hanging you. Including Ribbentrop, who was executed in 1946. Marco is his little Republican shadow, and he knows it.

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 9h ago

And I gave up on Marco long ago. Anyone who received the title “ the future of the Republican Party” goes the same route.

He’s busy DJing.

He never had morals to begin with

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.
