Republican Presidential hopeful and United States Senator Marco Rubio either speaks a different language than I do or operates in an entirely alternate universe. Could be either or both.
Rubio has been making stump speeches railing against the spending package as a “massive, grotesque piece of legislation.” Goodness sake, you’d think we were killing kittens with the way he talks.
But, hell, it’s only talk, and Rubio is real good at talk. Ask him to walk and he stumbles.
When CBS News asked him why he didn’t bother to go vote against the spending package …
Asked why he wouldn’t make his point about the spending package by physically being on Capitol Hill, Rubio said his message was clear.
“In essence, not voting for it, is a vote against it,” said Rubio.
Uh, wanna ‘splain that to me again? That’s not how math works. I’m pretty sure of that.
And what makes this eye-roll weird is that the day before, he was on Fox News …
Rubio’s absence from the Senate on Friday was a bit surprising because he suggested on Fox News’ “Happening Now” a day earlier that he could try and slow down the spending package and interfere with the process leading up to the final vote.
“We can most certainly slow this process down and force them to go back and make changes to it. There’s no doubt that we can and we should and we will,” he said.
I dunno if he was drunk or lost but he didn’t show up. And it was after he promised to show up and spit in the punch bowl.
I’m betting on lost. Bless his heart, not only is her lost, he’s losing to a wild man.
Perhaps Rubio has multiple personalities. You know, one insane and the other batsh*t crazy. Though if he had multiple personalities you’d think he’d find a way to have a different one.
Re kittens, Rubio would be 100% in favor of killing kittens as a debt reduction policy. Kittens are just lazy liberals depending on the welfare state.
1Senator Thirsty and Senator Cr-ooze are certainly digging a large hole together between trading smacks with that shovel.
Please Reince, entertain us with words about your carload of ‘talent.’ You have T-Rump followed by the Fetid Four: Cruz, Rubio, Carson and Fiorina. Attached to that is the caboose full of “who cares” kids.
2How do you say “brazen” in español?

Pendejo… ;]
If a Democrat does it, it’s baaad; for a Repuke, IOKIYAR.
4Oh, I thought maybe he just got a better deal on the way there.
5The press does not seem to be holding the R-Klan candidates accountable for their whoppers. They bring up a discrepancy or two , but accept the incredible answers and move on. They should be made to ‘splain over and over until they admit it’s bullcrap.
6So one should convince the minions that NOT voting for Trump (et.al.) is the SAME THING as voting against Hill / Bernie.
7Big Mike, I like your suggestion. Let’s tell the tea bagger types it’s an idea that came from outlaw snacilbupeR, then they’ll all do it!
Better yet, let’s tell them Hillary hates the plan. Bingo!
8I have trouble keeping track, but isn’t he the one who was lambasted for missing most of the Senate votes, and he suggested that he wasn’t real interested in the Senate when there was a higher office he was going for? Sounds like a guy who doesn’t give a hoot about doing the job he’s being paid to do.
9And this boob is one of the top contenders???
I almost feel sorry for the Rethuglicans. Almost.
10Rhea? Maybe he’s like Kim Davis. Not doing his job because it conflicts with his religious beliefs. His belief that hisownself is god.

Pendejo works in a general sense. Descarcado, according to my Spanish speaking daughter-in-law is circumstantially better.
12Micr, like you, your daughter-in-law is too kind. I have a few words in Spanish for the thirsty little idiot; mostly learned on the range when a roll of fencing snaps or someone plants a hammer on their own thumb. I’d share, but I fear Mama’s Spanish may be superior to mine.
13Rubio talk? Anybody remember the old I Love Lucy show and how Desi (Ricky Ricardo) would tell Lucy she has some splanin to do? Sounds like Rubio binge watched the old reruns when he was a kid! I think one of the reasons he rarely shows up for his day job is that nobody there likes him.
14@PKM
Thanks, that particular d-i-l is quite the card.
15It seems Marco’s sister may be married to a very interesting man.

16Someone said that the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. Rubio phoned in his participation in the Florida State Leg. He has phoned in his Senate chores. He doesn’t like retail politics, he wants one of his wealthy buddies to buy him the election cause he wants it. After he gets it, if he does, it will probably be fun for a year, then not so much. He’s like a 4 year old. Short attention span, and on to the next shiny object, if it doesn’t take too much work.
