Rubio is such a toady

I can't remember any interview where he doesn't say, "Trump is the only one who can do it." as in, stop the war, obtain a ceasefire, etc. There is nothing about trumpy that shows he is the only one on the planet that can mediate a war. Rubio is now on the stump to get Donny the Orange the NPP.

Donald Trump is not the magic negotiator that he masquerades as. As a businessman, he has a substantial amount of failure, and as part of that, he cheated his workers, bribed people, and was convicted of 34 felonies. So, no, his quest to be awarded the NPP will not turn him into this Peace G-d he wants to be--or, appear to be. Donald Trump is not constitutionally capable of being anything other than a cruel bully. Even his mother knew it. So, all this crap about, "I just want the killing to end," is just that. Don't be fooled.

Rubio is disgusting in his sycophant style of promoting rumpy. Trump does not care one whit about dead bodies. He does not care about whether this war is concluded. Trump doesn't value peace. He values the Nobel Peace Prize.

Rubio stated that ending the war always involves each side giving up something. Correct me if you will, but I thought that Ukraine gave up rare earth to the US in exchange for protection? I guess I don't remember that correctly. Rare earths are heavily involved in Ukraine, Greenland, and now Alaska. What is up with that?

I just get very irritated every time I hear Rubio promote trump as a savior of peace. Trump is a violent, nasty creature. The only reason he's doing this is to get something for himself. He has set his sights on the Nobel, plus probably some money for his pocket.

He does negotiations and makes the deals. Rubio makes press statements and struggles to stay awake during meetings.

I remember a member of the Kennedy administration, talking about VP Johnson, saying he had been caterated at whay was, at the time, the highest position of his career.
