Marco in Charge

 

"Vladimir Putin's being invited to the United States is the equivalent of Franklin Roosevelt receiving Adolf Hitler in Hyde Park sometime after Hitler marched into the Sudetenland."

--Bret Stephens, NYTimes conservative columnist, 2/17/25

If you don't fully understand by now that Donald Jethro Trump will sell Ukraine down the river to please his BFF Putin -- it was always gonna happen -- then how on earth did you find your way to this URL?

Marco Rubio is Jethro's bagman for this project. Rubio used to be a hawk on Russia and Putin's expansionist invasion of a neighboring and sovereign nation. According to researchers at the Davis Center, Rubio never missed a chance to "co-sponsor punitive measures against Russia" over its unlawful aggression. Rubio also repeatedly co-sponsored bills to "strengthen U.S. entanglement in the NATO alliance," emphasizing that any US exit from NATO should require congressional approval.

Just what did Trump tell Rubio when he arrived at Mar-a-Lago for his job interview? More to the point, how abjectly did Rubio bend every knee to get the job? The churning of his stomach can be heard in an elevator and must discomfort young Rubio all the Riyadh day. Will he have a breaking point?

Rubio, popping Tums, sitting down with that wily old fox Lavrov across the table, armed with nothing more than Trump's druthers, which happen also to be Lavrov's druthers -- it's an effing betrayal of every democratic value.
