Senator Marco Rubio (U-DC) was installed as vice-chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) to assist covering up the SSCI involvement in the intelligence community targeting of Donald Trump. Rubio replaced Richard Burr, who was working closely with Mark Warner.
During his appearance with the State Department’s unofficial spokesperson, CNN’s Jake Tapper, Senator Rubio outlined the case against Vladimir Putin noting that Ukraine is a legacy move by the Russian president. In the background of Rubio stating the U.S. needs to stop buying oil from Russia, the Biden administration has entered discussions with Venezuela for replacement oil so they can create the better optic and stop purchasing from Vladimir Putin.
Think about the ridiculousness of the situation as it now presents. Only a few short years ago (January 2019), Marco Rubio was one of the main characters who led a ‘whole of government‘ effort to remove Venezuela leader Nicolas Maduro on behalf of his Latino constituents in Florida. Now that the focus has shifted to Russia, Rubio wants to remove Vladimir Putin, by purchasing oil from Nicolas Maduro. Yup, there’s U.S. foreign policy in a nutshell.
Another worthwhile note, in an earlier segment Jake Tapper called for U.S. sanctions against the Russian DUMA, essentially Russian congress. Tapper wants the U.S. government to start targeting Russian politicians, freezing assets and confiscating their wealth. He just says this as if it’s just an ordinary evolution of “the process.”
It would be interesting to see Jake Tapper’s position if China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, India, Brazil or South Africa started to confiscate the wealth, property and interests of U.S. politicians and/or citizen billionaires of the United States because the U.S. invaded Iraq under false pretenses.
ZERO to WAR in how many days? They have already pulled their pants down around their ankles. What’s next?
Will this be The Kenyan’s favorite kind of war, by drone, where he kills innocent families in their driveway instead of alleged Taliban bombers?
They’re gonna get a lot more people killed.
Seems that’s part of the plan too.
You can be certain it IS part of the plan.
Wars can be quicker at reducing the surplus population than viruses and killer shots.
They are all facets of the overall plan.
Next up…worldwide famine.
NATO members ganging up on Russia essentially is WW3. China and Iran would join on the Russian side to fight the NATO countries. Stoltenberg already said NATO is staying out of it.
This guy needs to get back into the jacuzzi.
NATO has never yet seen anything remotely similar to actual war. The US forgot. Britain and France forgot. Russia didn’t.
You DON’T want to follow these idiots. They have utterly no idea what they are doing or saying. None whatsoever.
Or will it be the war done here in the U.S. like he’d like to see happen? He has NEVER loved the United States.
War here in the US?
Perhaps so.
ANTIFA peaceful protests were the warm up.
I’m sure you noticed that a lot of these illegals coming across out southern border deemed as “children” are actually military aged boys/men! With antifa and BLM these “children will swell their army to big proportions.
If things get real tacky I wouldn’t be surprised if the leftist wackos set these thugs out against the population. No civil war! Just a good old fashioned invasion from the border and the democrats strong armed fascists!
Does anyone wonder why they try to disarm us? I’m ready and able to defend my household ! But I fear we are way to disorganized to put up a coherent fight! I refuse to out out on my knees, if I have to die fighting? Then that’s what God intended for me.
They like when Caucasian Christians kill each other. That’s why they’ve been promoting wars for hundreds/thousands of years, plus they make loads of cash.
Let’s make it voluntary. First the politicians in favor will be sent to the front lines and then those who support them following. This is of course the way a brave leader like Stonewall Jackson led his forces. I somehow do not think there will be many brave warmongering Democrats and Republicans and even fewer stupid enough to follow.
Why is it that these damn fools like Rubio can’t stay off these tired old dried up Sunday Morning propaganda shows? Being with any of the talking heads like Tapper, Stepalloverus, Martha Ratsass, etc. is all you need to know about these WEF tools.
Mind boggling. I used to be addicted to the Sunday shows, that ship has sailed.
The MSM is corrupt to the bone.
MSM being corrupt….I kinda got to feeling that toward the end of the Vietnam War.
Yeah, that long ago and deeply entrenched now.
Strictly media propagandists and liars for the Left.
Yea, those of us who were in Viet Nam and who came to understand how politicians lie to get others to do the work of fighting,dying, etc. yet never get their hands dirty while filling their pockets with lucre (note
Biden and others who got serious money from Ukraine over the years) and seem now to forget how Putin told them years ago to stop advancing on Russia via the NATO game, etc.
Megan Kelly has an interview with Putin where he informs her of how the United States responded with missiles in Cuba years ago and uses that as a point to make his point of not wanting the West or it’s friends in Europe on his country’s doorstep with enough firepower to destroy his beloved Russia. It is not that Putin is an angel and plays by everyone’s rules, it is that he is Russian and his country has the Bear as it’s symbol…meaning he behaves like a bear…think about it America!
You want your kids to die for this? Are you kidding me? All Putin demands is a realistic buffer zone and for Ukraine to stop messing with Russia (which they have not!). Blinken is a fool who talks like he is smart, Biden is mentally gone, Kamala was never a good student, Hillary is a nasty piece of work, Obama hates whitey more than anything yet loves the good life…so send his kids to the front line along with every other kid who’s family work in Congress or lives in Washington, DC. Let them bleed and see how they like it!
Damn right I am pissed about this event! It is a distraction and could lead to terrible times way beyond just death for many. Hysterics are in control. They want to start a fight for even more control…good god!
Now is the time for a new political rhetoric with new players on the field. Get rid of these baby boomers and their followers…get’m off the stage!
Walter Cronkite and Tet.
Go to church. Better message. No fake news.
Amen to that!
Amen.
You must first find a real strong church.
One that did not shut their doors when the government demanded they do so .
Far too many churches will do what the government tells them to now days.
I have posted this before but almost two years ago at the beginning of the “two weeks to flatten the curve lockdown” the church we use to attend shut its doors because the state said it must.
Our church leader decided to send out weekly emails to keep us all in touch and to send a nice spiritual message.
The first two weeks the email had this phrase in it “Do what your government tells you to do” which freaked me out.
I had been attending this church for decades and never thought I would see this.
So many churches let the government tell them what to do and shut their doors.
We now “worship privately at home” until we can find another church to join which has been difficult since all most all in our area allowed the state to shut them down.
So to say “go to church” is good but be careful and choose wisely.
Times will become harder and it will not be easy to pick the churches that will STAND from now on.
There are many Wolves among the Sheep.
We turned on Maria Bartiroma as we headed to Mass this morning and she was interviewing…wait for it, the former corrupt president of Ukraine, Poroschenko who wants Polish planes over the nuke reactor. These people need to stop, and soon!
Needless to say, we turned it off and got to church early.
Keep it off, they lie.
Can’t remember the last time I watched one.
They cant stay off because it feeds their overactive egos.
Because he’s a mediocre (or worse) pretend politician, no gifts, a big mouth, brownoser, etc.
Completely undistinguished in every way. Just the way McConnell likes them.
For the first time in 55 years, I’m not voting for a Pubbie for Senator. I just can’t…
Hail ass Marco, this is a big part of the consent of the governed, no thanks!
Screw’em!
I did not realize the extent of his stupidity and prositution to the military-industrial-globalist elites. Repulsive little worm.
This pol never met a poll he didn’t like! (Altho I suspect that doesn’t include this ham-handed attempt to gin up interest in WWIII..?)
Regarding the artwork that accompanies this post, I have to take a moment to marvel out loud at the high art of selecting pics of these well-known politicians (among the many thousands available) that have just the right facial expressions that appropriately complement the other figures in this photo.
As satire, it is truly magnificent and entertaining, yet also powerful at driving home a not-so-subliminal political message.
We’ve also been quite fortunate in the past to have seen many other such magnificent pieces of satirical artwork that use the same masterful techniques… quite a rewarding fringe benefit of spending time here at CTH!
I agree.
Is that b/w picture from a Bogart movie?
I’d be happy to see China and Ukraine confiscating the assets of the US politicians they have purchased. Start with Biden.
That would be funny.
I’d like to see a movement to target the wealth of some of these talking heads. That would get their attention!
I would like to see published a complete list of assets, investments and income not related their salaries for ALL politicians and government executives.
That will be the day!
Start w/the list of Critters that we paid their Hooker fees.
That still sticks in my craw. $15 million paid out (several years ago) on their behalf but they won’t say to who. I wonder what the total would be in today’s world.
I’d like to see a poll to see their wealth and where it all comes from. Thanks for bringing it up.
Will an American citizen stand up against Marco Rubio in the Republican primary?
Asking for the patriots.
They should if a reasonable alternative runs against him.
He’s up for re-election this Nov. If anyone were to challenge him, that campaign would have to have started four years ago.
That’s how early a challenger to an incumbent Senator has to start running.
Drat!
No, he endorsed Rubio, go figure.
Only some will stand against him. Others thing he is the bestest. Hope he doesn’t make it.
Knowing the pubbies, they would run 15 or 16 other conservatives also. That’s how they seem to roll.
There are 6 other Republican candidates besides Rubio. But with President Trump’s endorsement none of the others can make much headway.
As of the last reporting on December 31st, 2021 Rubio had already raised $16,906,707 for his campaign.
The most money that any of the other 6 had raised is $6,002.
The top Democrat candidate had raised over $20 million.
Low wattage NeoCon puppet?
Did the UniParty help him out with his debts?
Narco Lubio most likely has kompromat on him.
Low wattage! LMAO!
Never let a crisis go to waste:
Further down in the same New York Times article, we find another interesting passage. We’ve long argued that a crackdown on cryptocurrencies is imminent. Will the US use the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a pretext for doing so? It sure seems like it:
https://doomberg.substack.com/p/on-the-cusp-of-an-economic-singularity
There was a great book that came out some years ago – I think in the 1970’s – about learning how to be assertive –
“Why Do I Always Say Yes When I Want to Say No?”
It had all these exercises and ploys to deal with overbearing, imposing people . . . or dealing with the people at the “Customer Service” counter . . . oh, all kinds of good things . . .
my favorite was the “Broken Record Approach”
you write out a little speech which you memorize 100% as your answer – you do not deviate from that and/or try to come up with other “reasons” why you are saying no . . . of course, just the word “No” is an easy-to-remember “speech”
I tried it in various situations and it really worked out nicely . . . I do like to be a helpful person, not a hard-hearted Hannah – but one of my Grandmothers always used to say, “Honey, you are such a sap” (said most lovingly but forthrightly)
I wish some bright individual would somehow get on a “panel discussion” on this business of “going to fight with Ukraine” . . .
just a one-word reply, “Afghanistan”
Does anyone here still believe they’re not trying to kill us all?
No they arent trying to kill us all.
Just most of us.
They still need servants and slaves.
This is from back in 2016. Rudio hasn’t changed a bit. He is still a child.
Doug Bandow: ” Rubio is almost the polar opposite of Trump. He is prepared to spend his presidency starting wars. The only question is how many. A true Neocon believer, he appears convinced that wars are good. Moreover, he believes he is a foreign policy guru despite routinely issuing simplistic policy prescriptions based on ideological illusions. His militaristic egoism may be more dangerous than the Donald’s much larger over-active id.
First, Rubio advocates shooting down Russian planes, if necessary, to enforce a no-fly zone. It is hard to think of a more irresponsible policy: commit an act of war against a nuclear-armed power over an issue of marginal importance, at most, to the U.S. Vladimir Putin could ill afford to genuflect to Washington, especially since experience suggests that any concession would be followed by additional, more intrusive demands from Washington.
Second, Rubio apparently sees no problem with another Middle Eastern war or two. He believes Iraq was a success, argues that the U.S. should have entered the Libyan conflict earlier, and advocates fighting both the Assad Regime and Islamic State insurgents. It’s a prescription for disaster. Most self-professed conservatives criticize social engineering at home. Yet the Florida Senator apparently believes he is smart enough to fix the divided, failed state of Iraq and sort out the hideous, multi-sided conflict in Syria. Give him enough time–along with lots of American lives and money–and eventually everyone in the Mideast will join hands around a campfire and sing Kumbaya.
Third, the great GOP hope is fixated on alliances, seeking to add new allies rather like normal Americans add Facebook friends. Traditionally Washington made foreign commitments to enhance U.S. security. Rubio has a very different vision. America should sacrifice its security to protect other states. His great European initiative is to add Montenegro–with an army of 2,080 soldiers!–to NATO. .”
Who are you going to find to fight your war, Marco and all the rest of your Republican pals? Who? The pink posse that remains won’t last against these fighters.
Putin is fighting with the explicit blessing of Orthodox Patriarchs.
The godless West is fighting with the blessing of satanist Maria Abromovich, the most wicked woman on earth and for the homo-erotic film star, Zelinski.
You will lose, if you fight this fight. Take it to the (failing) bank.
WRECKLESS
This Uniparty thing is a cancer. Perhaps it might be better described as an emerging 5th Column of foreign infiltration by foreign governments, multinational and transnational corporations; both for profit and non, trusts and philanthropies and satellite NGO entities. It all runs parasitically on OPM. All roads (and Rhodes) lead to The City of London.
They operate with the general overarching intent to replace the human citizen person with a dehumanizing institutional secularism that worships itself.
They are out to murder the occurrence and existence of representative popular government around the world. They want to end taxation with representation and replace that with perpetual Taxation Without Representation.
So we stop buying oil from the Russian “bad guy”…….Putin…..
and start buying oil from the Venezuelan “bad guy”…….Maduro…..
Brilliant……simply brilliant.
(Why don’t we use our own damn oil…..??)
“Brilliance” is word I have never attributed to entrenched politicians.
Tney may have had some brilliance when they first get to DC, but the longer they remain any brilliance disappears.
Makes it much harder to do the money laundering.
Very simple. We don’t use our own oil because of an equally bad guy…
We can’t use it cause biteme gave it all t0 chima.

Nothing is Real to these people it is all a game played on a board, they just move the pieces around.
We live in the real world, it is Real Life to us.
We have families, people we love and care about.
We love our children, our husbands and wives, our elderly parents, our siblings, our nieces and nephews.
We work hard in our lives to build our homes and our business.
We mow our yards and paint our houses and love to cheer for our favorite sports teams on the week end and have BBQ in the back yard that we invite our friends and family to.
We are Real, our families are Real Living People they are not trophies that we take photos with or trot out during campaigns as we are working our way up the line from mayor to governor to senator to president.
They are real people and we love and care about them.
The creatures that we now have in charge of our country and the creatures in charge of the world are monsters that have nothing in common with us.
They will do anything and we can not predict what that will be any more.
We need to keep that in mind as we battle them for the future of our country and for the future of our families.
When Marco comes marching home again..
Hoorah! Hoorah!
When Marco comes marching home again..
Hoorah! Hoorah!
What a retard!
First he has to march to Ukraine…help take on the Rooskies…then march home again…if he isnt put in a horizontal state…then he can be carried home.
Out of all NATO countries, only one is eager for war with Putin. The USA.
Blinken and Rubio need to stop egging on European countries to throw away their sons and daughters on Smerican neocon/NWO wet dream.
Stephen Hatfield MD (DARPA) talked about this in early 2020 as a big reason why US did not want media/globe talking about the Wuhan lab-US Government funding. He specifically mentioned labs in Ukraine. I seem to recall these are CIA/Defense oriented.
Rubio has “the lisp”, dead pan eyes, he ain’t right, he is dangerous. These people are just EVIL.
I am not happy that US Veterans are going to Ukraine to fight the Russians, I find it disgusting, not noble, not heroic.
The politicians and MSM have done a bang up job to the convince the public to believe the Russians are the bad guys so we should go to war w/them. *Spit*
…..and Dumbo ears. Is he a member of the WEF?
Rubio can go kick rocks.
Hes worried?
what a freaking sad joke.
Im worried about what stupid crap our govt pulls next.
I thought it was bad with Obama.
Its way worse now.
Im worried our govt starts a nuclear exchange by cornering and poking the bear too much.
Im worried about this inflation, this energy price increase, this social instability
I don’t know what it will take for our nation to completely EMPTY Congress and the senate.
We keep getting closer to a total meltdown with corrupt criminals like Rubio in charge.
Two rent boys that haven’t been in a fist fight let alone a gun fight
Rubio is a nut job in good standing. A member of the RINO wing of the Democrat National Socialist Party.
DRILL BABY DRILL, FINNISH THE PIPELINE.
The only climate change we have to worry about with these idiots in charge is Nuclear Winter.
Okay, Marco. You send your kids – or your own sorry self if you are childless – FIRST.
Marco and his wife have 4 kids and afaik all but maybe 1 of them are military aged by now. so yeah, when are they enlisting??
He is what? 51? Has four kids who are probably old enough to handle guns.
He could make a family outing to the Ukraine in support.
Ukraine is not of strategic interest to the US. It is of strategic interest to Russia.
Before Donald Trump was President, the number 1 producer of CP was Ukraine. The bribes are bad enough, but the way Zelenskyy acts makes me think he’s got some video files of Western pols, enough to blackmail us into WWIII. Sure are a lot of people talking like idiots right now.
We’re about to get into a nuclear war. What idiots.
I hear VP Harris may go over to share her wisdom and assist in negotiating an end to this conflict.
At that point WW Three is assured.
Self-appointed geniuses like Little Marco will get us into WW III in 3, 2, 1….
Florida, you can do much better than this Tea Partier who instantly turned RINO, once in office.
Narco Lubio… in 2016 he was the most leftist of the last candidates standing in the GOP primaries (except for Kasich, who didn’t count outside of Ohio) — to the left of both Cruz and Trump.
Yet another GOPe stooge beating the war drums. Why are we not surprised?
Interesting walk through a Russian grocery store from Feb. 28th. This pleasant young couple have their baby with them and though they may be “poor” by US economic standards they seem happier than many people here their age. And definitely smarter than 90% of kids in college today.
Just say no . . . to an air war over Ukraine!
Yes, this a great video from a Russian couple with a new baby giving us a taste of life in middle class Russia. They may not have all the toys that Americans have, but they seem infinitely smarter than today’s Americans of the same age. Amd infinitely happier. These are NOT people we want to or should go to war with. Again, Americans need to wake The F*** Up!
Read at GWP they are going to allow Ukrainian refugees to come here. Not shocking, and nothing against Eastern Europeans per se, I have known some really nice immigrants, but something tells me this group will be selected, much like they did w/Afghans. I hope I am wrong. At least publicly they have stated the men have to stay behind.
Not to mention more refugees will eat up what few resources we have left. They already want to starve us, bring in millions more to make the process go faster. There is zero housing left in this country, everything has inflated in price and we will be expected to foot the bill of these people, meanwhile all the politicians of both America and Ukraine are filthy rich.
We will get the AZOV battalion imported here.
All one needs to know about Marco is that he is sitting in a CNN newsroom spewing his war mongering BS! I do NOT watch the MSM……..certainly not CNN.
Americans are being led down a nasty path. What’s scary is that these same bunch on non critical thinkers who lined up for these dangerous, ineffective and untested vaccines are now lining up to be spoon this load of “propaganda”. I would describe the people who buy into this nonsense as sickeningly stupid after seeing all that has gone on the last two years but that really doesn’t do it justice!
I guess everybody noticed when Trudeau tried to use the banks to cut off cash access to people with wrong think.
Now MC and Visa are poised to cut people off from their credit cards for taking actions THEY don’t approve.
is everyone catching onto what the end game is for the citizenry who don’t tow the line?
Obama blocked Keystone to favor Venezuela. He also had Operation Cassandra, a ten year investigation by the Dept of a Treasury and DEA into Hezbollah related drug smuggling shut down to accommodate Iran in his nuclear “deterence” deal with the mullahs…Venezuela is a key player in drug trafficking and political subversion world wide and Hezbollah works hand in glove with persons in Venezuela toward that effort.
Insane. Dr. Strangelove rides again.
What’s the plan if we lose?
Worse, what’s the plan if we win? Nation-building in a country of 140 million paranoid russkis who still hate us from last time? Hopeless.
If it goes nuke, of course, we won’t be needing a plan.
Paranoia runs deep in those running Russia.
Should always handle Russia carefully in diplomacy….not a strong point in DC.
Its as if DC Uniparty and its cohorts in the MIC are drooling at the thought of instigating a more widespread war.
Nah…..thats just silly.

When is Hunter leaving for the front lines?
The only lines he goes near has to do with a mind altering white substance.
The Navy got rid of the worthless bastard.
It’s ok….even the 10 percent crowd is good for something…they can still catch a round meant for someone else…
Why are Republican congressmen rattling sabers about war? My understanding is that war is an executive branch function….where the leader makes the decision to go to war and gets approval for Congress. No congressperson should be opening their mouth on this topic as it undermines the executive branch potentially.
The executive branch is dementia Joe and company. Unfortunately, the American political class is not any better.
Nothing to do with this, but one of my worst voting mistakes in my long life was my vote for Little Marco when I was a Florida resident. Probably would not have voted for someone with a D behind their name but maybe I should just have not voted. Of what benefit has he been to this country since he was elected? But I would say that about almost all of them too. This country is in a hurt politically.
Regarding the Mariachi picture, which is delightfully done, when I think of ‘Playing in the Band’ , I see and hear The Grateful Dead, and am much more comforted by that image than this one.
Li’l Jeb is a brainwashed drone.
The Nazi Libs have shifted their rhethoric from “Biden will stop Putin from going to war” to “Putin is just like Hitler in 1938 and we have to go to war now because if we had done that in 1938 the world would have been a better place.”
They are insane.
Does the former Chitp n Dale dancer & Foam Boy lil Marco believe we could “rent” or “buy” all the military equipment that the current illegitimate incompetent criminal Administration left in Afghanistan that we were told for 20+ was “Democratic”?
This is what happens when neocon lawyers and community organizers who have never had to fight in an actual war (height requirement little Marco) are allowed to run a country. I certainly hope their Keynesian advisors are available to explain to their constituents why the economic distress they were causing Russia, isolated but with tremendous natural resources and an Asian market willing to buy them in whatever asset denomination Russia accepts, instead of making Russia and Russians suffer, crushes our economy to 1930’s Depression era levels instead.
Gee, ain’t they just brilliant…. Marco Rubio is one of the twenty or so Republican (now Unity Party) senators who’s votes McConnell “sells” to the Democrats, on an as needed basis. His reward is these kinds of committee assignments. I just wonder if he knows the price he will ultimately pay for selling his soul…?
Marco is too dim to think that far ahead…
Isn’t Rubio’s main skill being out of town when critical votes are scheduled? Has he changed his MO?
This is what happens in a bureaucracy so corrupt there are no choices but the worst of the worst.
MTG directly called McConnell a CCP agent on Lou Dobbs podcast.
Who is MTG
He and his wife both.
So the Globalists got their color revolution here and now they’re moving on to Russia??
Yes.
But Putin knows how that game is played. I would not be surprised if he ignores the “protestors” and strikes the head of the snake.
The reaction to a few lawfare types accidentally ingesting polonium will be interesting.
Actually, I believe, the Ukrainian 2014 ‘color revolution’ was a test run for the CIA and friends, for the USA ‘color revolution’ in 2020 the night after Trump won re-election. Ask the Jan 6 occupants in the Washington Gulag.
Rubio can only suggest ramping up oil production to save us from Putin.
He cannot suggest ramping production to save us from Biden!
It’s painfully clear to their constituents how important we are. Let’s also hold the Republican legislators in the red states accountable for their failure to look into 2020 at the time. We citizens have got to get involved in whatever way we can, on the chance that it’s not too late. If they had to confront 75 million of us, this would end.
