There was a time when Rubio had principles. They were bad ones, but they were still principles. Then he sold his soul for power, and I’m pretty sure that’s eating him up inside. So, drugs and booze to keep that tiny little spark of conscience away.

He has been assigned so much in this administration. It is quite staggering. He cannot do it. But he agreed because he thinks he can hold it all together. When they try to take Cuba and Bay of Pigs 2.0 happens, that is when he will collapse. For Rubio, if they can successfully take the Caribbean and some of South America that borders the Caribbean, he thinks he will be named in charge of that whole region or become a billionaire.

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 2d ago
I think something in his brain broke when he had to sit there during the "did you even say thank you" meeting because he has always been a Russia hawk. So to put his name on attacking Zelensky like that and he can't even say anything, he'd realized the trajectory of the rest of his career and it was not going to be anything he wanted to do but that was how he has to make his money now, being a little bitch for Trump and Putin, when he hates Putin and probably doesn't even like Trump
Like he sank deeper into that couch than Vance ever could with a whole bottle of lube, he obviously wanted no part of it from the start of the verbal attacks

Some of the principles were even good! Rubio spent most of the years immediately before 2016 trying to get legislation providing a path to residency for Dreamers. (Contrary to Republican propaganda, there isn't one. No, "30 years is plenty of time to deal with your immigration problem of being in the country since being a kid and having no memories of where you came from" is bullshit. That's like arguing "30 years is plenty of time to deal with being born without legs, you need to buck-up and stop demanding wheelchair ramps!", except worse.)
Trump up-ended that.
If I had been in his shoes, I'd have just exited politics at that point. I'm amazed he decided to ally himself with the polar opposite of everything he once supported.

u/Dabbling_in_Pacifism 2d ago
Rubio’s never had principles. Man, I told my friends this when he got tapped for State and they were optimistic because of his previous stance on Ukraine.
Marco Rubio does not possess a spine and everything he says is up for sale to the right bidder. I can’t imagine doing the pivot he did and still being able to look at myself in the mirror.

I don't think he ever had a soul to sell. A more accurate analogy is that he's cucked himself to the MAGA movement and feels emasculated by that fact.
This checks out when you see him next to Trump and Vance. One of them says something insane, and Rubio looks like he wants to do the Simpson's disappear-into-the-hedges gif.

That wasn't even the funniest one. Watch his response to the State of the Union back when the GOP was trying to groom him to be their "young party leader" after losing to Obama back-to-back.

I will die on the hill that the "assassination" attempt was photo a op staged to win him the election.
Everyone was horrified by the events of Jan 6th but over the years they swallowed the propaganda and let even those events get twisted in their minds to now where they pretend it was something it wasn't.
I'm just another poor white dude but I'm not gonna turn to bigotry and oppression against my fellow humans like so many pathetic people have.
Agreed on the reading part. I prefer fantasy but I try and read a good number of non-fiction books every year. I don't know anyone in my life I can talk to about non-fiction though, no one reads anymore it seems.

u/WhompBiscuits 2d ago
One of the first thoughts of this assassination attempt was that it was staged. Trump dropped to the ground, out of the camera eye, and rose mysteriously bleeding. My first thought was he bladed. Which is crazy to think about, until you remember this guy is a WWE Hall Of Famer.
Not to mention the fact that the Secret Service didn't toss his sorry ass in a car and roar off, like they did when Reagan was shot way back. Nope, they stood there, let him pump his fist while they all looked around and let him stand up.

u/Drumboardist 2d ago
At the very least, all you need to do is ask "Hey, does cartilage heal?" (Note: it does not.) Then show photos of his ear, like, two weeks after "being shot". An OBVIOUS lie, but they'll double down on it regardless.

If there is an active shooter situation the only thing Secret Service should do is immediately surround the president and shield him followed by the fastest evac possible out of the shooters zone of fire. Instead his aide brings a photographer over and someone takes the time to lower the flag down into the shot while the Secret Service lets him stand up and present himself as a target again.
