      Expel them to WHERE? Or were they just planning for all the Gazans to just keel over and die? Rubio is such a tool.

    Let’s dispel once and for all with this fiction that Donald Trump doesn’t know what he’s doing. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

    I wish we could get these motherfuckers to care half as much about Americans as they do about Israel.

      Israel is a hot button topic. They’ve lined them all up and plan to press three hot buttons per day, for four years.

      These are the same people who’ll turn around and talk about Jewish space lasers starting forest fires. They don’t give a shit about Israel, they give a shit about maintaining the facade of power and authoritarianism.

    Which dipshit is Rubio again? I always think he’s the “please clap” guy but I know that’s wrong. I know it’s not Cancún Cruz but I’m having a hard time keeping track of these assholes.

      Rubio was a US Senator from Florida, before that he was a Florida state level legislator.

      Local News Examining Rubio’s Home Sale miami March 8, 2016 / 2:50 PM EST / CBS Miami

      (EDITOR’S NOTE: This story and video was originally posted on the CBS4 website on May 18, 2010. CBS4 News was the first to investigate the 2007 sale of Marco Rubio’s home in Miami. It is now being re-posted following a series of statements and campaign ads by Donald Trump questioning the ethics of the home sale. )

      -------------ORIGINAL REPORT-------------------

      In 2007, Florida’s no fault auto insurance law was set to expire. The law known as PIP – or personal injury protection – provides $10,000 in medical coverage for anyone in an auto accident.

      Both Florida Governor Charlie Crist and the Florida Senate wanted to extend PIP. The only obstacle was the Florida House and its speaker, Marco Rubio, who believed PIP was rife with fraud and abuse.

      “I started to study the issue and really became convinced that there was a serious fraud industry that had been built around it, largely through a combination of clinics and lawyers,” Rubio said recently. “So I was okay with PIP being extended but only if we dealt with the fraud issues, at least some anti fraud measures.”

      Yet Rubio also gave the impression that he was willing to let PIP die.

      “What I did obviously want was ultimate leverage and the threat that I was willing to let PIP go away,” he recalled.

      Among those who supported PIP were Florida chiropractors, including Dr. Mark Cereceda, who operates a string of pain clinics throughout South Florida. Cereceda’s business depends on seeing PIP patients.

      “I see a lot of PIP patients,” Cereceda said.

      In the Spring and Summer of 2007, Cereceda mounted a campaign to pressure Rubio to allow PIP to continue. Accompanied by other chiropractors, Cereceda met with Rubio in Tallahassee. Cereceda also organized marches and demonstrations in front of Rubio’s West Miami office. He even hired four planes to fly banners over Rubio’s home and office urging him to keep PIP alive.

      Rubio, who described Cereceda as “an acquaintance,” said he was aware of Cereceda’s campaign and that he Cereceda “was pretty excited about that issue.”

      In the midst of all this lobbying, Mark Cereceda’s mother bought a house from Rubio, paying $380,000 in an all cash deal that was finalized in April 2007. Rubio had originally purchased the house in 2003 for $175,000.

      “It was just a coincidence,” Mark Cereceda said of the sale.

      Mark Cereceda, who lives on the same block as the Rubio house, said he noticed a “For Sale” sign in the front yard and recommended it to his mother.

      Six months after the sale of the house was complete, Rubio wrote Gov. Crist a letter asking him to call a special session of the Florida Legislature. This time Rubio said he would support PIP.

      “It had nothing to do with the house,” Cereceda said.


      Nothing at all, I’m sure.

      Rubio is the secretary of state (foreign affairs)

      Hails from Florida, iirc. Once despised Trump but has since kissed the ring (being handsomely rewarded afterwards).

      If I ever meet any of these bastards, they will find themselves wrapped in a tarp and buried under my house.

              You’re always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together. And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it’s no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies’ digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don’t want to go sievin’ through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, “as greedy as a pig”.
