Whew! You guys were worried about nothing.

According to CNN, Rubio says the war launched in Feb. is over! He also said that the goal is now to reopen the strait. So the goal is to get back to where we were prewar, after billions spent and lives lost. And you know that Rs will treat that like a bigger victory than winning World War Two if it happens. Also, according to Mr. Rubio, the war didn't cause gas prices to rise.

So there ya go. So much for Rubio being the smart or sane one, even by R standards.

but I guess I just assumed they wouldn't. However, CNN is covering his "presser" or whatever it was with a lot of skepticism, which I appreciate.

I have never thought he was anything other than a stupid man in an empty suit. It is impossible to take anyone seriously that has such low self respect that he would wear cheap shoes, three sizes too big, because he is afraid to offend the Orange Overlord.

It is embarrassing that he represents our country to the rest of the world. You know they know what a vapid person he is and have no respect for him. They also know that they can't believe a word he says. Why would they?

Now the fact he has no soul, brain, or moral compass is painfully on display.

And the other fact that he will trip around on shoes way too big for him
means he has ZERO self respect as well.

The Mega-loco face. I hear if his wife feeds one too, Trump will only charge them triple the going rate.

Rubio will think he got a good deal.
Even after he looks in the mirror and finds out his lips are permanently attached to Trump's rump.

Ever since I read report of the incredible amount of money he claimed as a deduction for his 'home office' on a tax return decades ago, wrote him off as 'a responsible GOP pol'.

No ethics get between him and what he wants.

They’re not your father’s GOP. With these Republicans, you have to respect that they regard rules and election guidelines as little more than toilet paper, most of which they’ve already used in the bathroom.

...about killing the Ayatollah, the political and military leadership, and 160 school kids.

Other than that, heck yeah! Good times.

Now all he needs to do to beat out the other NAZI, the Couchhumper is get that price of oil down to what it was in the good ol' days, when working people could afford a car.
