31. Irony dripping all over the Dear Leader and his minions (here, RUBIO)
Wed Dec 10, 2025, 11:53 AM
Wednesday

* IRONY: Conservativism is supposed to be about minimum government interference in people's lives. It has long been said that Dear Leader is not only not a Conservative but is not ideological at all, basically just goes by authoritarian whim about what is good for him. So down to the most trivial things, he involves himself in the smallest details of everybody's lives.

* IRONY: Cubans are Hispanics, no? Yet RUBIO first (2015) started by fiercely (as much as he can mildly be) opposing Dear Leader, but in a blink has turned totally loyal. And as an HIspanic has swamped himself to the gills in persecuting other Hispanics into the bargain of any others in an undiplomatic assault on what the State Department does. And here, along with the involvement in the pettiest of details, he turns his attention to *font*. RUBIO, of Cuban Exile heritage, reaped extreme benefits of immigration and residency that other Hispanic branches didn't get - imagine *two* Senators and presidential candidates and extensive colonization of a state (Florida) and significant impact on both political parties (hatred towards Dems, collaboration with Reps). The font is just the writing on the cake's icing.

**** Separating this out as a topic.
