I've always believed that the only reason Li'l Marco moved out of taking bribes from Florida used-car dealers to selling his -- um, not soul, or integrity, but something -- oh, I know, his Hispanic name and heritage! -- to become the GOP's "pretty spanish boy who got through law school," was because he had thugs behind him who thought it would be good for the GOP to promote a "person of color" to combat their reputation and hide their reality of pure, unadulterated racism.

Given that Cuba was always the most racist of all the Caribbean islands, and that Li'l boy is pure Iberian in his heritage, he's a perfect fit.

But his IQ -- well, that gives Don Jr.'s a run for its money.

"That we have perhaps listened to them, found them to be a bunch of unappeasable bigoted shitheads whose views are harmful to a democratic society, and understand shunning them is also an exercise in free speech apparently never occurred to him."

Hear hear!

Replace the "Cabbage Patch Kid" (cause nobody on Germany will know them, one trend that didn't quite make the ocean jump) with a "MonChichi" and you're spot on with that reply, Gary.

Let's be honest, Rubio knows he can't say much more than "The genocide was conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime that happened to also be genocidal because they hated Jews and they hated minorities and they hated those that they- they had a list of people they hated, but primarily the Jews." because Rubio knows that he'll get asked about what other minorities were persecuted and then have to defend how this current administration's efforts against trans people, brown people, gay/queer people, disabled people, etc. etc. is totally different from Nazi Germany.

Excellent read on German history around Hitler overturning the prior republic:

Sorry if it was on the tabs here some day, I am not spending much time here lately ... in times as dark as these, I suddenly prefer to drown my self in nsfw activities and chatting.

And remember... EVERY Democrat voted to confirm Rubio! Schumer spoke on the floor of the Senate applauding the unanimous confirmation vote!

I was appalled at that.

Rubio is as moderate as a rabid pit bull. And not as nice.

I am never surprised at the depravity of Homo sapiens. While there are souls born on this beautiful planet who are exemplary (Jesus, Buddha, etc) they are the exception to this rule. I do wonder why the 20th/21st century is so rife with horror though. Why does it remind me of one of the Original Star Trek episodes? The one where there is a powerful godlike guy who does capricious and cruel things. We eventually discover that he is actually a child of a wise and super powerful entity. Is this the one where the end is our universe is just a ball that he can play with? The entire life cycle of the earth/sun is not even a blink of “God’s” eye.

It's like Munich had its very own amplified version of the Nazi experience or something.

They weaponized free speech and once in power stifled it, exactly what Elon & the Felon are doing.

Fact check: Vance is not “lightweight.” Clearly he is obese.

I'm frankly embarrassed these post turtles are representing us on the world stage. America really beclowned itself by elevating these clowns to positions of power. They're so out of their element they're alchemy personified.

Goddamn Jizzy Divan is such an intellectual lightweight he actually has negative mass and frankly, that's impressive. He's broken physics. Also wow how nice for his wife and his children that he's cuddling up with these fucking Nazis. He might actually love his family *less* than President Klan Robe "loves" his.

But again we're here because numerous bigoted Americans voted for ethnic cleansing and they wanted to fuck around expecting that Black people would get it worse.

Can you imagine the inconceivable nerve of that piece of shit, telling Germany that it needs to listen to the neo-Nazis among them?

The US once led the Allies in defeating Nazi Germany, and now the German government, which seems to be the only entity that learned anything from history, is having to push back at US Vice President Butthair hectoring them to coddle the neo-Nazis in their midst, cuz reasons.

Why? To Make Dachau Great Again?

Jesus. Fucking. Christ. This is the Twilight Zone on acid.

Considering even France came close to electing the far right Marine Le Pen and her franco-nazis, Germany is doing yeomans' work in holding the line.
