Trump expected to tap Marco Rubio

Can't help but read this as "trump fucks marco rubio"

How do you think he got the job?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

That's what I was implying.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I would not tap that.

Particularly considering where it’s been.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

I would also not tap anyone whose been with your mother /s.

Hmm, how do I say this without getting downvoted all to hell?

I think this is actually a decent pick. Rubio is fairly moderate for a Republican. His parents emigrated from Cuba, so he likely has at least some respect for the blight of immigrants. He presents well intentioned and intelligent. He’ll probably actually read his briefings.

Secretary of State had formerly been a springboard for higher office. Perhaps he would actually bring a smidge of sanity back to the GOP. This country deserves functional bipartisanship.

Probably not, but one could hope.

I would agree.....but he's working under Trump. The second that Rubio is "too moderate" he's going to ask Rubio to resign.

id prefer it if the top brass of our imperialist command center never read

blight of immigrants

Can't tell if typo or . . .

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

From the rest of the post, I'm pretty sure they meant "plight."
