I’m not going to dwell too much on this announcement, because it has already been discussed.
President Trump has announced his nomination of Florida Senator Marco Rubio for the position of Secretary of State.

This move takes Marco Rubio out of the position of Chairman for the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI). That’s the sum value of this move, and the companion reason for President Trump to appoint Steven C. Witkoff to be Special Envoy to the Middle East. (link)
Senator Marco Rubio will be State Dept Secretary with a short leash and a very limited portfolio. However, from his perspective the political status and future value is awesome. It will be interesting to see: (1) who is appointed chairman of the SSCI, and (2) who Ron DeSantis appoints as Rubio’s replacement.
“Great Honor”…
“Major Award”…
Good.
I won’t have to hold my nose and vote for him anymore.
Governor Desantis, how about Billy Napier? Think about it.
Byron Donald would be a name worth considering for the senate seat Rubio occupies.
Love this!!
US Senator to SoS from FL just like Hillary resume from NY and John Kerry MA!!!
I wonder.
First get Rubio out of congress by offering him this SOS position. Then RDS selects a replacement more sympathetic to MAGA.
Then, several months into 2025, Trump fires Rubio, essentially booting him from politics altogether
🙂
I like it!!
George Lemieux is being discussed, a complete spineless RINO. PUKE.
Byron Donald’s is great.
I would have said Gaetz for senator, but he was picked for AG.
There are so many other better people for AG than Matt. We need him.in the House. Bad choice.
I dont like Foam Boy….never did. Never will.
Isn’t little marco a deep state stooge?
Yes
Yes
Desanctimonious; a/k/a Meatball, will appoint his wife Jill for senator. 🤣. Hey, right now, just about anything is as good a guess as any.
The only feature here that is a positive is that he is a China Hawk so you will see the CCP under a certain amount of scrutiny! 🤔
DeSantis should appoint Lara Trump!! No more secret meetings in the Senate.
Lara Trump.
