(513 posts)who that is, I have no idea. Rubio was set to be a lifer, so a change gives us a modicum of hope.
I dont like appointing Senators for the most crucial cabinet positions, tho. Rather, put them agencies like Interior, Energy, Education, Commerce or Transportation. That way, if they f up, it doesnt matter as much.

(33,254 posts)None of these dregs of humanity are worthy of anything other than a lengthy prison sentence, especially the waste of flesh that's appointing them. But, what better way to reach their goal of destroying the US Government than to fill it with the most useless, incompetent sacks of shit in existence?

I wouldn't be surprised if DeSantis didn't appoint a place-holder Senator so that he can run for it.
