Tom Toles for January 13, 2017

mario rubio: a tower of jello, defending the production of cuban sandwiches in miami and sucking up to one of the philanthropists who kept castro in business all these years.

The usual GOP puppet unity, regardless of ethics, facts, or public interest.

I would say I was surprised that Rubio actually showed up for work, but its camera time and no politician can resist the allure of the bright lights and possible ratings.

One by one, the former Trump candidacy nay-sayers will “kiss the ring.” For some, The Donald might, figuratively or literally, place the ring on his behind.

The only moral Rubio has: The moral of the story is FACE TIME!

Hope Rubio leads to stop this guy.

Has anyone at the hearing brought up the Exxon deals in Africa while he was CEO? (http://www.elpasoinc.com/news/ap_wire/international/article_07d9fb66-1b5c-578c-a781-5fab759dc529.html, and Rachel Maddow last night on Gambia).

Rubio will cave because he.. like all the rest of the Republicans, are afraid of the Trump wrath / ridicule that is sure to follow the instant you cross him.

Grandstanding until the actual vote.

Marco Rubio just one in a plethora of Dominionist candidates and politicos. Don’t expect much deviation on politics-religion-economics-morality octopus.

Exxon and Russia had deals to develop oil sites in the Gulf of Mexico. They were dropped right before Tillerson was named as Sec. of State nominee. Coincidence?

IMPUNITY {1.60 limericks}

How long can the Right with impunity

continue to wreck our community

of citizens with stakes

in avoiding the mistakes

of the Trump-AltRight-Plutocrat triunity?

Are there no brakes,

for goodness’ sakes?

Has the Left lost all opportunity?

Rubio is the biggest weiny on Capitol hill
