I want to put aside more obvious targets for a minute and focus on one of the most inexplicable members of the administration... "Little" Marco Rubio.

This one-time presidential hopeful once said "Donald Trump is a serious threat to the future of our party, and our country"... only to turn around and become one of the biggest boot-lickers in our political history. I swear it's almost as if Trump put him in this position just so he has somebody he can routinely humiliate in some kind of elaborate revenge scenario for all the awful things that Rubio has said about him.

This was made abundantly clear when Trump bought Little Marco shoes that were too big, but he had to wear them anyway...

That's expert-level trolling right there, but it's just the beginning...

President Donald Trump has undercut his top diplomat’s explanation for the war in Iran as he provided yet another contradictory rationale for his military intervention. On Monday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio made a jaw-dropping admission: the U.S. struck Iran because Israel was planning to strike first—and Washington feared Tehran would retaliate against American forces. But asked about this on Tuesday, Trump rejected this explanation outright as Rubio sat two seats away in the Oval Office.

I can only assume that Marco will be fired sometime soon when the president needs another distraction for a new scandal. I mean, that's what he's pre-broadcasting for Karoline "You're Doing a Terrible Job" Leavitt right now, so it's only a matter of time... right?

But in the meanwhile, Rubio doesn't need any help from Trump. He's been teeing himself up to be a total joke that's intent on completely killing what little remains of his political career for over a year now.

My favorite has him siding with Trump's mandate that "Birthright Citizenship" be terminated. A total flip-flop from 9 years ago when Rubio was a hard-liner for it. As well he should be, because he would be one of the first to be deported given that he was born to Cuban immigrants who were not citizens at the time of his birth. And I don't know how this affects Don Jr., Eric, and Ivana given that their mother wasn't a US citizen either. Maybe they'll end up being too tall to deport or develop bone spurs so they can't be deported on humanitarian grounds?

And then we come to the reason for my writing this post. On March 30th Little Marco sat down for an interview with George Stephanopoulos. It was all a bunch of bullshit, but mixed in with that was this nugget right here...

"Imagine an Iran that, instead of spending their wealth, billions of dollars, supporting terrorists or weapons, had spent that money helping the people of Iran. You’d have a much different country." — Marco Antonio Rubio, Secretary of State

WELL I CAN'T FUCKING IMAGINE IT, DIPSHIT, BECAUSE I LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WHERE WE SPEND BILLIONS ON WEAPONS WHILE ALIENATING OURSELVES FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD BY TURNING ALLIES INTO ENEMIES SO WE'RE STANDING WITH OUR PANTS AROUND OUR ANKLES ON THE WORLD STAGE THEN STARTING A WAR THAT COSTS EVEN MORE BILLIONS! — BUT I DO IMAGINE A DIFFERENT COUNTRY FOR US... DAILY. A COUNTRY WHERE PEOPLE CAN AFFORD TO BUY GROCERIES, HAVE SHELTER, AND NOT GO INTO BANKRUPTCY IF THEY GET CANCER. A COUNTRY WHERE BILLIONAIRES AND MILLIONAIRES PAY THEIR FUCKING SHARE INSTEAD OF GETTING ALL THE BREAKS THAT REGULAR CITIZENS DON'T. A COUNTRY WHICH LIVES UP TO THE FREEDOMS AND IDEALS THAT WE CLAIM TO OFFER, BUT HAVE BEEN CHIPPED AWAY FOR DECADES AT AN ESCALATING PACE TOWARDS FASCISM. A COUNTRY THAT DOESN'T HAVE GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION BUILT-IN. A COUNTRY WHERE PEDOPHILES AND RAPISTS FACE CONSEQUENCES FOR THEIR ABHORRENT ACTIONS NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY AND POWER THEY HAVE. A COUNTRY WHICH ISN'T RUN BY HEINOUS LEVELS OF STUPIDITY. GIVE ME THAT, AND MAYBE... JUST MAYBE... I'LL BE ABLE TO IMAGINE IT FOR IRAN.

I am nearing pathological levels of rage over where we're at right now. And idiots like Little Marco pouring gas on the fire doesn't help one bit.
