Bottle water stock may be rising.

2. Does that make him Chief Buttboy?

[PJMcK]

Frankly, I've never understood why he got elected as a Senator but he's from Florida so I guess that explains it.

[Traildogbob]

4. Also

The Keeper of The Anus access. He maintains the traffic coming and going. Like the Club Door Bouncer. A little extra green, the velvet rope will be opened for you to enter.

[malaise]

5. He won't last

That is all

[johnnyfins]

6. 100% in Agreement

Whether he is smart enough to realize that, I’m not too sure.

Surprised that Lutnut guy isn’t on his way out.

Send him this - about water pauses and small businesses😀

Fact-check: Does Marco Rubio have one of
the worst attendance records in the Senate?

Rep. Val Demings:
Sen. Marco Rubio has "one of the worst attendance records in the Senate."

PolitiFact's ruling: Mostly True ✔️

Here's why: U.S. Rep. Val Demings, D-Fla., said her opponent in Florida’s U.S. Senate race, Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, has a shoddy attendance record.

"For 27 years, I showed up every day to put dangerous criminals away, never knowing I’d come home to my family, and when I was chief, we reduced violent crime by 40%," Demings said in a July 13 ad. "But Marco, you’ve got one of the worst attendance records in the Senate. When Florida needs you, you just don’t show up."

Attacks for missed votes are common.
But Rubio’s attendance record has come under repeated scrutiny from his political opponents.

In 2016, former President Donald Trump said Rubio had the "No. 1 absentee record" in the Senate, and we rated the claim Mostly True.✔️

Since taking office in 2011, Rubio has missed 346, or 9.2%, of 3,744 roll call votes, according to GovTrack, ​​a nonpartisan website that collects congressional data.

On average, members of the Senate miss around 2.3% of votes during their tenure.

Most of Rubio’s career absences occurred during his bid for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016. From April 2015 through March 2016, Rubio missed 129 votes.

Still, Rubio’s attendance record did not immediately improve after his presidential campaign. According to ProPublica, in the 115th Congress, which ran from January 2017 to 2018, Rubio was the eighth most absent member in the Senate, out of 99 senators. (There was one vacancy.)


In 2020, Rubio ranked 12th most absent among senators who have served more than 10 years.

So far, he’s missed 41 votes, making him the 27th most absent member of the Senate. He cited "travel difficulties" for three absences, per ProPublica.

Demings said Rubio has "one of the worst attendance records in the Senate. " ✔️

Looking at the percentage of roll call votes Rubio missed throughout his decade as a senator, the statement is accurate. Overall, Rubio missed more than 9% of votes since 2011 — well above the average of 2.3% among members of the Senate. One of the reasons for this is his unsuccessful run for the presidency in 2016.

Rubio’s attendance record in the 117th Congress is a bit better. So far, he has missed 41 votes, making him the 27th most absent member of the Senate.

We rate Demings' claim Mostly True.✔️

17. Whoever replaces Rubio after Trump inevitably shit-cans him will have some small gloves to fill.

[Bristlecone]

19. He's the new Jared

[marble falls]

20. Imagine that, four different positions and he's on his knees for all of them.

[WarGamer]

21. Chief Toadtool polisher?

[JanMichael]

22. Downward dog too?

[EndlessWire]

23. What I find ironic is

that he was on that phone call, too. He should have known better than to talk war plans on Signal. They are all incompetent. When rump first commented on the leak, he indicated that he would blame Waltz, and now he has. But, they are all to blame. Guess he had nobody to replace his entire cabinet, so he said he didn't care, "Big deal." But, we know.
