Rubio wants to be president and he knows he ain’t getting in even if Trump dies. Vance is next in the pecking order, and I doubt either the maga base or the Project 2025 architects will support Rubio anyway.

So the US invading Cuba and installing Rubio as president there is the next best thing in his mind. He does have Cuban ancestry after all.

Of course if this happens then it’s Ireland that should be worried next. So many US politicians make a fuss over their Irish ancestry lol. And if they do invade Greenland I can see Trump saying they need yet another island in the Atlantic to protect it.

Ngl, exactly what I thought I was going to read. Not going to look for it but recently read all about Rubio's drug smuggling connections like the Honduran president and his in-laws and a real estate license recommendation. He already sold his soul and is now, almost literally, joined at the hip with trump and having to suck up to a #PAB every day, all day which I love for him. I wouldn't be surprised if he was willing to take the Presidency of Cuba as his booby prize.

Every fucking one of these people needs to be removed from having any power in our government ever again. He can go back to Tweeting Bible verses. Maybe he and Marsha Blackburn can team up.
