These foreign ministers would take Li'l Marco more seriously if he had someone with some serious foreign policy chops backing him up, like Mitch McConnell.
IKR! He's had to deal with West Virginnians, Virginnians, Ohioions, Indianians, Illinoisens, a few "Show Me" Missourians, and Tennesians who we really gotta wonder about now.
Ah'm a thinnin' Uncle Jeb added sumptin' to his last batch of shine, cause Lordy, Ah'm
This is why I could never be a diplomat. I'd smack Rubio ans Miller with a week-old codfish and tell them to stop calling my private number. Then, next time, I'd have them arrested for stalking.
Marco Rubio. The Incredible Shrinking Marco. This goombah has been in the public eye for 20 + years. He was a state legislator in Florida before he ran for Senate, and the darling of the Cuban diaspora in Miami. "Our boy marco went to law school!"
Halfway through his first term as a senator, he announced that he would not be a candidate for reelection because being in the Senate was so pointless and stupid that he couldn't get anything done. Then two years later, he ran for reelection to the Senate as a diminished, pathetic guy who couldn't get anything done and had openly admitted it.
And the stupid voters of Floridastan, the same ones who elected Rick Scott twice to the governorship and twice to the Senate -- this is the man who faced the largest fine in history as a Medicare ripoff artist and was elected by millions of sundowning Medicare recipients -- also re-elected Marco because he was still the Golden Boy, if a little pasty-looking, for Miami's Cubans.
Then, of course, he ran for president, and in that race he really earned the nickname that Trump gave him of Liddle Marco. And then when Trump appointed him as Secretary of State, he had to wear Trump Shoes that are four sizes too big for him.
Well that last is a perfect metaphor for everything about him. The bigger the job he is given, the more he shrinks, and now as Secretary of State the rest of the world won't even talk to him. They think -- they're acutely aware -- that he's in so far over his hairsprayed head, and so ignorant and weak-willed and terrified of trump, that they don't need to bother with him.
And, like so many other trumpist republicans, he thinks he is going to be president someday. He thinks he's capable of it. He thinks he's worthy of it. He thinks he can win it.
This is a recurring condition in our frail, one lunged polity. During Gulf War I (Dick and George's Excellent Adventure) the Feebs, the NSA and all the rest of the licensed snoops were surveiling the fuck out of the Friends (Quakers), the Socialists, and anyone they could get a facial I.d
. on from the various protests against the war. Of course we all know about Dick Nixon's paranoid fears, and J. Edgar's unremitting fear of The Red Menace. After all, didn't the Italian anarchists plant a handful of bombs several generations before during Woodie Wilson's time? Just because nothing like that had happened for 40, 50 years that didn't mean it couldn't happen again.
The Red Menace probably wasn't threatening to expose Hoover's relationship with Clyde Tolson like the mafia was. Makes the commies a much easier target.
Rubio has continued to show what a slimy, weasle he is ! he couldn't get a job as a dog catcher, much less fancy himself as a presidential candidate. I fancy him being charged with treason, war crimes.....whatever they can find.
Middle America loves to be scared by Others. MAGA is scared of losing power and having to submit to the legal repercussions. It's a match made in heaven.
Fascists are going to fascist as hard as they can. I have no doubt this is also related to the election they fear so much. An ability to declare martial law against the left-wing terrorists standing in line at Starbucks.
I go to classes at my community college, even during the summer, via Zoom. I had my non-camera photo up and the prof asked me if it was a pic of an antifa cemetary. He was joking, in his way.
I said that it actually was a photo of an antifa cemetary, being a picture I had taken of the American cemetary at Normandy, in honor of the American soldiers who died during D-Day.
You know, fighting the fascists. Antifa OG.
Somehow, I don't think the nations of Europe see antifa as a threat to them, more like allies.
Yeah, the nations of Europe doesn't see antifa as a threat, because they're already being threatened by fa.
As in fascists.
As in fascistic political parties like AfD (Germany), the National Rally (nee Front, France) and Reform (UK -- now being eclipsed by Restore).
You know, the same political parties that that useless hairball JD Vance has the nerve to lecture those nations about, insisting that they be deferred to.
Vance is either that stupid or he's pretending to be, and I don't know which is more despicable.
One of my choir colleagues a couple years ago had a farm box subscription - and got a plethora of carrots 🥕 - so she gave them to me - and I ended up making a delicious carrot ginger soup.
So...this plan comes from Putin, right? Putin makes Trump and his goons tell the world they're doing everything wrong, and should be more like the US. All these Ambassadors Trump's sent out have made fools of themselves insulting their host countries. And now they're doing a summit on it. Against ANTIFA, which is literally against fascism, and also doesn't exist. Putin's using Trump to gaslight the world, and try to make fascism more appealing. This is such an embarrassment.
Every day, it seems like Little Marco has hit rock bottom and I couldn’t be more disgusted with his toadying. And every day, he somehow manages to dig deeper.
These foreign ministers would take Li'l Marco more seriously if he had someone with some serious foreign policy chops backing him up, like Mitch McConnell.

gettin' all spooked up about them alls!
The last batch of 'shine I got from Uncle Jeb was called "Please Clap."
Ha!
I prefer loin to chops if we're talking about meat on ice.
This is why I could never be a diplomat. I'd smack Rubio ans Miller with a week-old codfish and tell them to stop calling my private number. Then, next time, I'd have them arrested for stalking.
"They're coming to get you, and only WE can stop them!" has been the Rethug mantra for as long as I've been alive, and I'm 72.
Right now, budgie eating sunflower seeds
Those are my little mourning dove's favorites.

Time for Antifa to:
A- actually exist and organize
B- rebrand
I used to love me some "foreign ties" back when I wore a suit.

Also, too, fuck Rubio with a shit-smeared cactus.
OK, so funny story.

He's still falling, the digging happens later.
The crater from him lithobraking should be deep enough to hold him.
