1. Why, it's Little Marco!

He just loves being abused, I guess...

[no_hypocrisy]

2. "Little Marco"?

[FBaggins]

18. Trump's nickname for him

When they were childishly spatting

[In It to Win It]

3. Oh boy, we're fucked!

[GreenWave]

4. So temporarily down a Senate seat?

[RockRaven]

10. No, someone will get appointed immediately.

[jls4561]

5. Drumph luvs him some tiny southern senators.

Presumably the tiny gubner of his state will appoint him to some highly paid sham academic position after Drumph fires him.

[mcar]

6. Oh for fcks sake

[duncang]

7. So tfg has

Allowed Marco penance for his sins against the great and almighty tfg. I wonder if tfg made him crawl into mar a lago to prove his devotion.

[UTUSN]

13. Drumpf knows he's a wimp tool.

[Polybius]

8. Considering the other choices, I guess it could be worse

He's not even the worse Senator in his state, although that's not saying much.

[UTUSN]

14. No could-be about anything with Drumpf, it *is* worse.

[Trueblue1968]

9. Pull ALL the GOPigs from the house and senate !!!!! We will control both.

[UTUSN]

11. Questions about Congress #s: Will RUBIO/STEFANIK vacancies change the Majority numbers?

When will STEFANIK's special election kick in, before the new Congress? Does deSatan get to pick RUBIO's successor?

Will RUBIO be able to function with a water bottle in international negotiations?

[Polybius]

22. DeSantis picks the replacement

Not that it matters, Florida has become Bright Red. Not another dime wasted there.

[Initech]

12. BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

It's Rupert Murdoch's dream team. Fuck all of them!

[surfered]

15. At least he'll be out of the Senate.

[Polybius]

21. And replaced by Byron Donalds n/t

[helpisontheway]

16. All that @ss kissing finally paid out..It is closest he will ever get to president. Nt

[Xavier Breath]

17. I'm sure he's real thirsty for diplomacy.

[Red Mountain]

19. So who will be appointed to replace him?

I can totally see Trump firing Rubio sooner rather than later as a f-you to him.

What's next? Ivanka for the Senate? Jared?

[Polybius]

23. Byron Donalds is the heavy favorite n/t

[Quixote1818]

20. He will last about 6 months. nt

[gab13by13]

27. Good call, maybe less.

[Solly Mack]

24. I hope his counterparts around the world call him "Little Marco".

[LetMyPeopleVote]

25. Rubio and Gaza

26. Picked to replace him with Donalds

and he is dumber than a box of rocks.

Those were his qualifications, plus he was a good TSF fluffer.

[bucolic_frolic]

28. The diplomacy of surrender, reading Old Testament verses to negotiate

We have lost all sovereignty. Our laws mean nothing, our boundaries dissolved.

[kerouac2]

29. Imagine if this is a trump purge move

Put him in this position so he steps down, then dump him from sos after his seat is filled by someone trump likes more. The ultimate burn.

30. listened to Morning Joe for about 20 minutes this morning. They seemed to like Trump's

appointments for national security. They had a Democrat blaming Democrats loss on prosecutors
in California for not pursuing any shoplifters if less than $1000. Anyway, Morning Joe is coming awfully close to
doing a total 180 since last Tuesday. So I turned the idiot box off in about 20 minutes. I think from now on
Lawrence will be the only one I watch on MSNBC.

31. Rubio is known for being absent more than any other

Senator and that includes the ones with serious health issues. Having a guy with a poor work ethic will be a disaster for our allies and world affairs. Wonder if Putin or Xi suggested him?
