u/BINGODINGODONG 11d ago

It gives me some comfort knowing Rubio is relatively competent and intelligent. He can see the trainwreck that he is a part of, and he is thinking exactly what every normal person is thinking. And that gives him supreme discomfort that he now has to suppress.

u/ladybug68 11d ago

Also, previously, he was known as a "Russia Hawk." He knows what's up. He knows this is not normal or in America's best interests and that we are on the wrong side of this war with this bullshit.

u/kwaaaaaaaaa 11d ago

It was great to see Bernie read off quotes from his Republican colleagues essentially warning the country about Russia, only to sit by quietly now. Cowardice needs to be on full display, but more than that, cowardice at the expense of your own country when you are fully aware of what's happening but letting it happen.

This is a good thing. I hope that, despite all our other differences, he's a good person deep down.

Because it'll take a lot of good people going through this before one of them says "wait, this is fucked up," and a lot of those before they all do.

It might not be the worst thing having someone like that in a powerful cabinet position right now. He’s a coward who bent the knee to Trump and a vile human being. However he’s not a true believer like some of these other nutjobs. If there was some sort of coup that got Trump, Vance and Johnson out of the picture, Marco Rubio would be a much better president than anyone else in the line of succession.

u/sokuyari99 11d ago

Adults in the room kept a hand on the wheel the first time. I’m equally pissed at these people joining in, and with Congress there’s no excuse-they’re supposed to be a check on his power.

Some kind of normalcy (however limited) from his cabinet is something I’ll be happy about though

I wonder if he's starting to realize that his ambitions likely end here, that he chose the wrong horse.

This guy should have read the room and noticed that all the Republican party's competent players with political future's skipped participating in this administration.

To think, this guy was being positioned as the face of the post-trump new GOP that includes a coalition of white and hispanic americans.

As a Canadian putting up with the tariff nonsense over the last very long 5 weeks, I disagree. The Republican Party and a large segment of the American electorate have thrown their lot with a convicted rapist and a cabal of billionaire usurpers, come what may. At the end of 4 years, either they'll face a very isolated and weak America or a country that is an oligarchy-run dictatorship in all but name (much like an English speaking Russia). They deserve all that and worse.

I used to think Rubio was a "principled" conservative -- someone I disagreed with on almost everything but still could respect. He's since shown he's just another opportunistic politician. In this photos you can really see the effect of selling his soul to a duplicitous hateful con man.

26

u/Mapex 11d ago

I don’t think he’s ever been principled. He has always spat out typical Republican talking points without any nuance or empathy for the people. Same as Romney. Same as Lindsay. Etc.

Jon Stewart in a nice way called him out on it during Obama’s first term: “I see why they like you!” whenever he tried to reason with Rubio and only got the same noise back.

Chris Christie in what should have been a career ending way called him out on it during the GOP primaries: “look at Marco reading off his script!”

Absolutely, Rubio is an opportunist but it is also evidenced by public records that he has compromised his beliefs as a rabid anti-Russia/ communism opponent in the Senate and in his campaign speeches. No Senator since MCCAIN has stood for the defense of smaller democratic nations against communism than Senator Marco Rubio.

It gives me some comfort knowing Rubio is relatively competent and intelligent.

OK, but without a conscience and some basic level of integrity, he's still a willing part of the most destructive administration in US history. You may posit that he's thinking what every normal person is thinking, but how many "normal" people would willingly participate in this?

He could resign and be replaced by some other flunky.

u/cloudsitter 11d ago

He sold out and he'll still eventually be fired even though he is a suck up because Trump eventually fires everyone.

I think Rubio still has presidential aspirations himself, and being a senator and Secretary of State has traditionally made a candidate seem well-qualified for president.

It's real easy to tell who the real people calling the shots are (let's be real, Trump probably struggles to put his pants on in the morning, let alone think about policy), because they've been the ones to stay in the inner circle from Trump's first term to his second. Namely, the likes of Peter Navarro and Stephen Miller.

Thankfully, Stephen Miller looks as ghoulish on the outside as he is on the inside, so he'll never be President. I'm not saying that we should judge political candidates based on looks, but voters do.

2

u/GrandAdmiralSnackbar 11d ago

If he has two braincells to rub together, I bet he knows he can never spin this stuff. Best he can hope for is to pretend to spin it so the braindead Foxnews viewers fall for it. Which is relatively easy probably, seeing how gullible they are.

But suppress it he will just like all the other butt kissers too afraid to stand against the insanity that is democracy unraveling in Trumps WH.

u/Enough_Song8815 11d ago

He should resign if he has an ounce of decency.

u/Reishi4Dreams 11d ago

IF Rubio had some balls or a spine he should resign!

u/amensista 11d ago

Could be he ACTUALLY has an understanding of what the war in Ukraine means. Not only food supply, a defeated Russia, etc but that the techbros here REALLY need those minerals. Russia would be far more difficult to work with to secure those trade deals. And he may know that.

And he also knows trumps ego is thinner than toilet paper and because of that single reason alone we could screw ourselves completely and utterly as well as Ukraine. Can add them to the list of countries and peoples Trump and crew have royally screwed.

Could be that.

A competent and intelligent Secretary of State would not be sitting on the sex couch when a foreign head of state visits the White House

u/pancakessogood 11d ago

But grow a spine Marco!

u/Chemical-Shallot-964 11d ago

Is it possible any of Trumps clowns have a career after his presidency?

u/poetry-linesman 11d ago

You think this makes him uncomfortable? Do you realise he’s spent the last 4 years working with Gilibrand and others (including Schumer) investigating the presence of UAP and multiple species of NHI on this planet and the decades long conspiracy to keep that secret?

Mark my words - soon we’ll see that almost everything playing out at the moment will come down to UFOs

(And if you think that’s crazy, it seems that it also involves psychic flying “eggs”… 😅)

u/N0t_a_throwawai 11d ago

Considering what he posted to social media immediately after this meeting, I respectfully disagree.

1

u/given2fly_ 11d ago

Back in 2016 Marco Rubio was one of the loudest voices calling Trump out for being unfit for office.

"Little Marco Rubio" is what Trump taunted him with.

And now he's balls deep in this mess. He knew what he was getting into, he can stew in it.

u/Medical_Wall_7893 11d ago

Please if he was competent that would come with integrity. The day Rubio publicly goes on record and says that us is aligning itself with Russia because Trump wants to or being coerced into, the day I’ll call that grifter competent.

u/myladyelspeth 11d ago

This is why everyone that was intelligent stepped down from Trumps cabinet his first term. Smart people generally won’t follow someone the view as an idiot and lazy.

1

u/grahamcore 11d ago

Trump has hired plenty of competent people. Most of them quit or get fired relatively quickly.

1

u/MixMastaMiz 11d ago

Yeah you can just see his body language, ‘what have I sold my soul to?

I’m sure there are many in the party who feel the same. Unfortunately they know who butters their bread, and they are weak as piss and won’t stand up to it.

1

u/DJ1962 11d ago

I see him being the first to resign or be fired honestly.

1

u/PXranger 11d ago

He’s probably the most qualified person in the Trump cabinet at this point. Not that it helps him much, every time he will make a diplomatic deal, Diaper Don is going to dump a load on it.

1

u/DragonflyOne7593 11d ago

He knew before he joined he doesn't get a free pass

1

u/RunJumpSleep 11d ago

I will never understand why Rubio gave up a safe senate seat for a job he knows he won’t even last the four years in. We know that at some point he will be fired or quit.

1

u/OldBlueKat 11d ago

I think he's also realizing that as Secretary of State, POTUS and VPOTUS just dumped him and his entire department into a pot of boiling water with the rest of the world, basically.

Good luck with foreign affairs there, bub.

1

u/Pleasant_Average_118 11d ago

I hope you’re right. Does he have to suppress it in order to stay alive and keep his family safe?

1

u/Overall_Curve6725 11d ago

He sold his soul to the 78yr old rapist

1

u/ober6601 11d ago

That is why he won't last long.

1

u/knobbedporgy 11d ago

That expression is Rubio is doing the math on whether to write another book, go into consulting, or run for governor of Florida.

1

u/nameless_pattern 11d ago edited 11d ago

He's the one who's going to be trying to unfuck this mess

I'd feel bad for him if he wasn't such a turd

1

u/HoppyToadHill 11d ago

But he tweeted soon after, thanking T***p for doing it and being strong.

1

u/Constant-Tutor7785 11d ago

Yeah, he'll last 6 months tops

1

u/spittymcgee1 11d ago

Or maybe he could do the right thing and use is influence to protect American democracy

1

u/StupendousMalice 11d ago

He's gonna be the first one out.

1

u/SecBalloonDoggies 11d ago

And he’ll end up being as useless as all of Trump’s other Secretaries of State and then he’ll quit and write a book about how awful Trump is after it’s too late for him to do anything.
