As I have said before, I live in Florida. We have many interesting politicians here in Florida but none are more interesting than Marco Rubio. Some are just as interesting like Governor DeSantis but I can’t say more. Rubio has lusted after the White House and I can only assume that he is still lusting after it. When I first heard Rubio talk I felt that there was some hope still for the Republican Party but as time has gone on I have realized that he is just a politician that will say anything to get elected and is willing to change direction one hundred and eighty degrees to gain votes. He represents what is the worst about our government not the best.

Donald Trump took 15 boxes of documentation from the White House when he left. Rubio comes out and said that he believes that Trump did not do anything illegal. Here is his chance to show that he believes in the law and what does he do? He doubles down on his support for Trump. Why would he do that? He could have said that was something for the Department of Justice to look into. He could have just said that maybe that will have to be looked into. Instead he blamed the mainstream media and pretended that what Trump did was normal. There is a Presidential Records Act that controls what should happen to a President’s Records so it just may be illegal what Trump did. I ran a Google search to see if Obama took any of his records with him and came up with nothing. What I did come up with was that he put a 12 year restriction on when the Public can review his documents. The same as Clinton and Bush which was permitted under the Presidential Records Act. Trump could have done that but no, he took his with him.

In 2016 Marco Rubio was very critical of Donald Trump and how Donald Trump would hurt the Republican Party and the conservative movement. He was right on but almost all of the Republican Candidates were saying the same thing so what he said did not really separate himself from the pack. What it did was make him correct as were all of them. Trump did great damage to the Republican Party and the Conservative movement. He would have been more honest if he would have said that Trump would greatly damage Democracy and weaken our Nation. Instead he followed in goosestep behind Trump and after Trump won the nomination.

With the insurrection he has also tried to downplay it. Mitch McConnell has call January 6th an insurrection. Rubio at first called in a riot. I often wondered why there were Republicans calling it a riot then I realized it was to justify it as just like the Black Lives Matter riots. Let me see. I never saw gallows erected to hang the Vice President at any Black Lives demonstration. I never saw any of the Black Lives Matter protestors running around with zip ties to capture members of Congress but, what the hell.  Let’s just divert attention to the Blacks. Now, it is just political discourse. He calls the January 6th investigation a sham. A search for the truth is just a sham to Rubio. What is a sham is that Rubio stopped searching for the truth and has embraced the lies so he can win votes.

Marco Rubio was once a man that wanted to bring back civility to the conservatives and did not condone the violence that Trump brought to the party. He once stated that a con artist was not going to take over the Republican Party and become President. What has happened? He loves to promote what a religious person he is and then he winds up worshipping at the feet on Pontius Pilot, aka Trump. Has he replaced his cross with the golden idol of Trump?

One thing is for certain. Our Democracy was attacked by domestic terrorist with the intent of putting a non-elected person in the White House. Our nation’s democracy has been weakened in the eyes of the world and our nation has been weakened at home. Marco Rubio was right how Trump would hurt the Republican party. To be honest with you, Marco Rubio should have been more worried about our nation than just his ambitions and the Republican party.

  Something I have written many times on social media is that when our Justice Department becomes a tool of the oppressor, we are losing our Democracy. Dictators have always used the Justice Department to oppress the people. Germany had its Gestapo and the SS, which were used to kill millions. Stalin had his NKVD, which would later become the KGB, that he used to kill millions and consolidate his power. China has its Chenguang, which is known for its violent methods. That is how things work in a country that is run by a dictator.   They use their personal Justice Departments to suppress and eliminate threats to their power. Is that now what is happening in this country? I swear, Trump wants to be just like the Communist and Fascist dictators. Trump seems to want to use our Justice Department more as his personal goon squad than a department that serves the people. He is starting with ICE. ICE is an agency that was formed after 9/11 and put under the Department of Homeland Se...

  We are a fascist state when we have ICE agents not in uniforms and hiding their faces behind masks. That is right. We have a law enforcement agency that is running around more like the Gestapo of Nazi Germany than what we are supposed to have and what is valued in America. We are sending not only undocumented immigrants but also asylum seekers and foreigners on student visas to detention camps here and on foreign soil. They are just being snatched off the streets with no due process. This is not the America I grew up in. This is nowhere to be found in the religion I learned and practiced in my youth. This is like fascism. Every day, we seem to hear the term “Extreme Left Judges.” It doesn’t matter whether it is a judge appointed by a Republican president or a Democratic president. If that judge disagrees with any of Trump's executive orders, he or she is being branded as a “Radical Judge”. These so-called “Rogue Judges” are being attacked by much of the Republican Party besides...

  Every elected official swears an oath to defend the Constitution. Not a party. Not a President, nor any individual. Not a social media following. They swear an oath to the Constitution. They take these oaths of their own free will. No one pointed a gun at their head to seek the office that requires obedience not to a leader but to a document that is our Constitution. What I wonder all the time is how someone can take that oath and then so easily break it. The saddest thing is that it is just all too common. So common that many people don’t notice, and so common that many people don’t care. Here are some very common things that elected officials have done that are actually a violation of their oath. Trying to overturn an election. Pressuring state officials to change election results. Voting to throw out certified votes without evidence. Lying to the public about things they know are not true and using their office to help themselves instead of the country. You don’t need a law de...
