Rubio calls Biden's national security team 'polite & orderly caretakers of America's decline'

Sen. Marco Rubio suggested on Tuesday that he would oppose confirmation of President-elect Joe Biden's national security team, presaging the first sign of potential Senate battles to come if Republicans maintain control of the Senate.

Rubio (R-Fla.) said Biden’s selections “will be polite & orderly caretakers of America’s decline,” criticizing their professional credentials and Washington bonafides. Rubio sits on both the Senate foreign relations and intelligence committees.

“Biden’s cabinet picks went to Ivy League schools, have strong resumes, attend all the right conferences & will be polite & orderly caretakers of America’s decline,” he tweeted. “I support American greatness. And I have no interest in returning to the ‘normal’ that left us dependent on China.”

In recent days Biden has announced plans to nominate Antony Blinken as secretary of State and Linda Thomas-Greenfield as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations — jobs whose occupants require Senate confirmation. The president-elect has also named Jake Sullivan as his national security adviser, a White House role on which the Senate has no say.

The new Biden team is made up of boring, competent intellectuals who will maintain the status quo, which is bad! And also far left extremists who are about to upend American society with their radical ideas, which is bad!

Make your mind up

Hope he doesn’t do like tRump did when his picks were rejected by Congress. Just appoint temps that will make them wish they had approved the first ones.

Because that is what we have now. It's singular purpose is to ensure that America can never emerge from decline.

Rubio is a hypocrite, like the rest of the cowardly GOP.

He actually thinks we stopped being “dependent on China”? Does he think we don’t owe China more than a TRILLON DOLLARS?

To think this weasel was once a serious candidate for president.

He claims he n his family fled an authoritarian country to come here n yet he supported 45 who damn near is the closest we’ve come to an authoritarian government. He’s my spineless senator n can’t stand the fact it may be for life.

polite
orderly
caretakers

None of which could be applied to anyone in the chump maladministration.

Since Biden and Harris were elected, the whole world breathed a sigh of relief. I'm grateful that their leaders have welcomed our new ones back to civilization.

He was a whiny asshole before Trump, he was a whiny asshole during the Trump reign of terror, and today he reminds us that he will remain being a whiny asshole forever. Some things just never change.
