Utterly! And he was like that in Florida too, when I lived there.

When it comes to Marco Rubio becoming President, assuming elections are actually held, and not to insult our Mexican-American fellow citizens, "remember the Alamo" is the phrase that first crossed my mind. Reading your thoughts about Chinese students and this administration's attack on free expression of critical thinking let's hope we never to go to war with that advanced nation. The Chinese teach and hold sacred The 12 Values comprised of sets of three: Prosperity, Democracy, Civility, and Harmony, are the National Values; Freedom, Equality, Justice, and the Rule of Law are the Social Values; Patriotism, Dedication, Integrity and Friendship are the Individual Values. To everyone I know these are "Woke" values. What values do the MAGA Cult embrace and teach?

Have you noticed Rubio’s dead eyes? I suspect there is a nugget of guilt gnawing at his conscience (or maybe his grandfather’s spirit haunting him), but he sold his soul for power so he’ll ride the bloody MAGA wave until he crashes.

Marco Rubio has been like this his entire career, probably his entire life. His true colors have been evident so long that anyone paying the least bit of attention knows what he is -- a coward, like so many other "privileged" punks who slide into politics because of lazy people.

I'm 83 years old. I should be relaxing and enjoying a calm, peaceful aging time. But NOooo, I still have to get all riled up and waste my precious energy because my neighbors are too lazy to vote creeps like worthless Marco out of office.

I'm so glad you're here, Joy, and still telling it like it is. You were too much for mainstream media, and your moxie is just what's needed if the America I grew up in will ever live again.

PS, Joy is my middle name, and we share a Sun sign. Let's figure out a way to party together in December. ;-)

Great article, Joy! I want to send it to Schumer and Gillibrand to thank them for their vote confirming little-trump-puppet-rubio. We have a majority worthless Democratic Party.

Marco Rubio has always boggled the mind-his attitude shocks me. But, he is probably of those cuban families that would not benefit from the change of government at that time-my opinion of course. Thank you for putting things in perspective!

Well, do you think he can still look in a mirror? Without vomiting?
