Secretary of State Marco Rubio says "we're going to keep doing it" after arrest of Columbia activist
We are living at a time of cartoon villains but we don't have cartoon heroes.
The thing I don't get is that a number of years ago, Trump made fun of Rubio in public about how much he sweats. He was splashing water from his bottle like, "It's Rubio.."
And now the spineless Marco Rubio is licking the taint of Trump as Secretary of State.
What exactly don't you get? Trump only employs groveling bootlickers. If you have a spine you are automatically disqualified.
Where does Elon fall in this?
Elon is different, he bought his position to the tune of something like $200 million "donated" to the election fund. Trump knows he needs Muskrat and his propaganda machine to be on his side, plus he serves as a nice distraction with DOGE.
Elon doesn't work for Trump. If anything, Trump is subservient to Elon.
He's trump's boss. Just look at trump selling Tesla's for him the other day.
Groveling bootlicker
Two narcissists who happen to be traveling the same direction and are using each other for a while.
It makes sense once you recognize that none of these guys actually believe or feel anything. They're all running a calculated sociopathic algorithm to maximize their own power.
The only reason any of them were anti-Trump at any point in the past was because they didn't believe it would help their political career. Now they're they're all anti-reality/pro-fascism for the same reason.
Just like late-stage capitalism, we've set up a system that encourages this behavior. If you compare an honest politician vs one willing to say or do whatever is needed to secure power, the latter will always come out on top. Which is where we find ourselves.
If we somehow develop a forcing function to disincentivize this behavior, all of them will flip instantly, saying, "I had to. I didn't agree with anything Trump was doing. I was only doing it because if I didn't, someone worse would take my spot. Votes pleeeeaase 🫴"
Let me help you.
”Sheldon Adelson is looking to give big dollars to Rubio because he feels he can mold him into his perfect little puppet. I agree!” Trump tweeted. - 2015
"The Israeli-American billionaire and casino owner has become a kingmaker in conservative American politics, following in the footsteps of her late husband, Sheldon Adelson, who died in 2021.
Her $100m donation to President-elect Donald Trump's campaign was a watershed moment. With Trump's victory, many eyes are on Miriam and her possible influence on his future policy decisions, most notably on Israel." -2025
