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.

There were more jokes between the press and Rubio than real questions.

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.

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.
