Rubio is awesome…speaking truth to idiots.
Remember Winkin, Blinken, and Nod.
Complete Foreign Policy Disaster in Alaska During U.S-China Summit – Secretary Blinken Destroyed by His own Arrogance, Had to Recall Journalists to Hear Talking Points After Initial Public Statements

“Secretary Rubio notes the importance of high-level contacts and communication between global powers like USA, China and Russia as things unfold.”
AKA cutting out the State Dept. career hacks that have screwed things up the past decades.
Rubio performs the Sec of State job marvelously.
Have all doubts about his prior “Gang-of-Eight “misadventure been erased?
Has he truly become America First? Just asking…
I just posted after you and am leaning that way.
At this point I like Rubio more for ’28. His transformation from deep state tool and member of gang of eight seems more sincere than Vance’s from being Peter Thiel’s boy. His judgement seems more internalized, whereas something about Vance seems like he is reading cue cards.
Not really sure at the moment, what do you guys think?
He’s still a tool. His principles move with the wind.
It doesn’t really matter. He can’t win the Rust Belt. The diverse groups that put Trump over the top in ’24 won’t line up behind Rubio. Maybe Vance, but that window is closing too.
Is there anyone else that you think might do a half-decent job?
TULSI GABBARD
A very good possibility, she has shown much courage, though I do not know enough to judge her MAGA bona fides.
I’m not sold on Rubio, but what dem0crat could beat him in 2028?
<ASEAN Summit in Manilla>
Since when did Sean Hannity get his own summit? 🙂
What an amazing coincidence!
Declassified documents were released-just prior to the ASEAN Summit-laying the blame for election interference on China.
And of course the Corrupt Corporate Media was right on time, grilling Secretary Rubio about dialogue with China over election interference.
If I didn’t know better (sarc) I would think that there is an operation being conducted to blow up talks with China.
Secretary Rubio, to his credit, refused to take the bait. Same is true with President Trump, who will still have a cordial, respectful, productive meeting with Xi in September.
Seems like President Trump has everything under control.
May God continue to bless and protect our great President.
Deftly executed, Mr. Secretary. It must be awful to face the same reporters with the same old hackneyed questions.
