Florida’s Senior Senator (and potential Secretary of State if Donald Trump is elected) is disputing claims by Generals Mark Milley and John Kelly that the GOP candidate is a “fascist” and that Adolf Hitler did “some good things” by questioning their motivations.
When asked if they were lying about the former chief executive, Marco Rubio said on Fox News Sunday the following: “I embraced the concept but rhetorically distanced myself from a direct quote.”
“Yes, I do. But even if they aren’t lying, or even, let’s say you don’t want to call them a liar, I would say it’s very dubious to see these accusations coming at the very last minute, right before an election. These are the kinds of things, you know, somebody says that in front of me. I say it right away, I walk out, I resign,” Rubio said.
“These are people that worked in the administration or around the administration and then they figured out pretty quickly, if we want jobs after we leave this administration, we have to become anti-Trumpers. You think Mark Milley winds up teaching at Princeton, teaching at Georgetown on the speaker’s bureau, advising JP Morgan, you don’t get hired for those jobs unless you pronounce yourself anti Trump and say things against Trump. So you have to go out and say these sorts of things in order to be able to be employable because corporate America and all these other interests won’t hire you if you used to work for or around Trump,” Rubio added.
Trump has disavowed claims that he ever praised Hitler, telling reporters he “never said it,” per ABC News.

Dear Marco:
Distinguished generals do not lie – they take their oath to defend the Constitution seriously. Generals Miley and Kelly choose and measure their words very carefully and are speaking out because they see grave danger. It is an act of courage.
Only grifters and sleezy opportunists, on the other hand, lie about what they know to be the truth. Only cowards feed those lies for fear of retribution regardless of the damage to our nation.

Of course some of them lie. Does the name John Kirby ring a bell?

An honor? It is an embarrassment to need it to bail out from criminal charges.

Woke generals seek only to protect their power and privilege. Miley and Kelly are pathetic traitors to the country they pledged to protect. Distinguished generals — which neither of these clowns are — don’t use their military position and authority for personal gain.

A pathetic traitor to the country he pledged to protect, who uses his position and authority for personal gain, describes Trump perfectly.

Funny how more than a dozen former Trump administration officials confirmed both General’s claims.

Marco Rubio is one of the 39% of the country who lost their Minds and Souls Forever when the Southern Religious Zealots turned their backs to God and voted for The Unrepentant Degenerant Malignant Narcissistic Imbecile with Myriad Other Mental Problems in the 2016 GOP Presidential Primary. The Trump Pep Rally around The Lake of Fire in Hell will last for Eternity. Good luck enduring that Marco.

Marco said the same things when he was running against Trump. During one of the debates he said: “Donald Trump is dangerously unprepared to be president.”
Marco, you can flip and flop all you like, but hold still next time you actually tell the truth. Do you actually read those Bible quotes you send out, cause your willingness to sell your soul indicates otherwise.
Generals Like Hitler Had

“Trump has disavowed claims that he ever praised Hitler, telling reporters he “never said it,” per ABC News.”
Just kept a worn out copy of Mein Kampf on the night stand for light reading. Big surprise: he can read when it’s about him or Hitler. He wants generals like Hitler had. Afraid to confront him with the truth, and willing to destroy the country for a generation because of it. Trump surrounded by “yes” men, what could go wrong?
When do we take Greenland? He wanted to trade Puerto Rico.

“Fascism does not rest explicitly upon an elaborated philosophical system, but rather upon popular feelings about master races, their unjust lot, and their rightful predominance over inferior peoples,” Robert Paxton] wrote in “The Anatomy of Fascism.” In contrast to other “isms,” “the truth was whatever permitted the new fascist man (and woman) to dominate others, and whatever made the chosen people triumph.”
Whatever promises fascists made early on, Paxton argued, were only distantly related to what they did once they gained and exercised power. As they made the necessary compromises with existing elites to establish dominance, they demonstrated what he called a “contempt for doctrine,” in which they simply ignored their original beliefs and acted “in ways quite contrary to them.”

Milley’s still upset because he got duped into marching over to the church so Trump could hold a Bible upside down for a photo op.

Dee’s trajectory here in Florida is a reasonable estimation of what DJT will be if re-elected.
“Whatever promises fascists made early on, Robert Paxton has argued, were only distantly related to what they did once they gained and exercised power. As they made the necessary compromises with existing elites to establish dominance, they demonstrated what he called a “contempt for doctrine,” in which they simply ignored their original beliefs and acted “in ways quite contrary to them.”
This description fits Dee to a T.

Hitler didn’t happen all at once. Takes time for a slow burn to develop into an inferno. A slow sting, a long con. Social media speeds it up, for sure, but if we stand up, Hitler will fade away.. after his generals start to question… oh

Talk about lying to get paid, Turnip J Truck spent 10+ years pretending Obama’s birth certificate said “Africa” on it, but now Turnip’s bestest buddy is rich guy Elon Mush and guess what Mush’s birth certificate says on it? Africa, that’s what.
African Mush is pouring cash and influence into the US election in support of Turnip J Truck.
But Turnip J Truck talks all about election interference?
I would call Turnip J Truck the biggest hypocrite ever, but I don’t want to demean hippos!

It’s anathema to Marco that there are people who actually stand on principle and speak truth to power.
Of course he’d say they must have been paid off because that’s exactly what he’d do.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the NRA put over a million bucks into Rubio’s initial Senate campaign advertising — in a year in which they spent virtually nothing on any other MAGA candidate in Florida.
Was that so Rubio would avert his gaze from the firearms trafficking going on between South Florida and the Caribbean?
