Rubio Sounds Like Me

Rubio also prepared notes on Trump’s now defunct Trump University, for which the mogul may end up appearing as a witness in court to defend in the middle of the campaign season.

“A fake university!” Rubio, almost surprised at his own success, exclaimed. “There are people who borrow $36,000 to go to Trump university and they’re suing him now. $36,000 to go to a university.”

As Trump tried to respond, Rubio kept riffing on this same theme.

“That’s a fake school,” Rubio said. “And you know what they got, they got to take a picture with a cardboard cutout of Donald Trump. That’s what they got for $36,000.”

Trump - The Failure, Trump - The Huckster, Trump - The Weasel:
Failure Number Three, Trump University:

Trump University, a school offering his insights into getting rich in real estate at three-day seminars, was different from the vitamin company. Trump was a founder and an owner, and he portrayed himself as taking an active role, shaping the curriculum and vetting the instructors.

"My father did it, I did it," went one ad, referring to the fortunes they made in real estate, "and now I'm ready to teach you how to do it."

The closest most students got to the mogul was a life-sized cardboard cutout. A 2013 lawsuit from the New York attorney general and two class actions in California claim the three days of instructions were largely useless, and that students paying $1,495 to attend were misled. Worse, students at the seminars were told to max out their credit cards to pay tens of thousands dollars more for additional "Elite" training that, the lawsuits claim, was also largely unhelpful.

"I wasted my entire life savings on Trump," said former Trump University student Nelly Cunningham in an affidavit for the New York case. She added, "I feel like such a fool."
Next, I would like to see Rubio 'turn Terminator' on himself, because I don't like him either:

Whatever Happened To The Tea Party?

Is the tea party losing steam? Is it no longer hot? Will they be serving cold tea from now on?

The presidential "race" is all over the news right now. I see reports on television and read about it all over the place. There is much coverage of the GOP, of Donald Trump, of Hillary Clinton, and Bernie Sanders. What seems to be missing is any mention of The Tea Party. I wonder why this is so? Why is there no mention of The Tea Party when people speak of Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio?

Marco Rubio:

In his campaign, Rubio received the support of members of the Tea Party, many of whom were dissatisfied with Crist's policies as governor.
Rubio initially won his U.S. Senate seat with strong Tea Party backing, but his 2013 support for comprehensive immigration reform legislation led to a decline in that support. Rubio's stance on military, foreign policy and national security issues—such as his support for arming the Syrian rebels and for the NSA—alienated some libertarian-oriented Tea Party activists.
Marco Rubio, Tea Party pretty boy:
It's possible the Glenn Beck-inspired masses who propelled Rubio to become the "First Senator from the Tea Party" — as the New York Times famously dubbed him in January...
Ted Cruz:
In the Republican senatorial primary, Cruz ran against sitting Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst. Cruz was endorsed first by former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and then by the Club for Growth, a fiscally conservative political action committee; Erick Erickson, former editor of prominent conservative blog RedState; the FreedomWorks for America super PAC; nationally syndicated radio host Mark Levin; former Attorney General Edwin Meese; Tea Party Express...
Cruz also called fellow Republicans out as "squishes" on gun-control issues during a Tea Party rally.
Why did Sarah Palin abandon Ted Cruz? What is a squish?

A Republican Voice With Tea Party Mantle and Intellectual Heft:
But few may have imagined Mr. Cruz, 41, in his newest role, as the Tea Party favorite and Republican candidate for the United States Senate, trading verbal orchids with the likes of Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck.
Tea Party activists have expressed support for Republican politicians Sarah Palin, Dick Armey, Michele Bachmann, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz. In July 2010, Bachmann formed the Tea Party Congressional Caucus; however, the caucus has been defunct since July 2012.
Is The Tea Party just for children? Has everyone outgrown it now? If so, why replace it with the Republican Party, where everyone still believes in make-believe?

Infinite Loop

Would an infinite loop of pleasure be better than an infinite loop of pain? Would you be able to tell the difference? Is there really a difference between heaven and hell? Who knows?

I think that the Republicans are experimenting with different forms of infinite loops of hell.

The Time-Loop Party:

By now everyone who follows politics knows about Marco Rubio’s software-glitch performance in Saturday’s Republican debate. (I’d say broken-record performance, but that would be showing my age.) Not only did he respond to a challenge from Chris Christie about his lack of achievements by repeating, verbatim, the same line from his stump speech he had used a moment earlier; when Mr. Christie mocked his canned delivery, he repeated the same line yet again.

In other news, last week — on Groundhog Day, to be precise — Republicans in the House of Representatives cast what everyone knew was a purely symbolic, substance-free vote to repeal Obamacare. It was the 63rd time they’ve done so.
When Stargate SG-1 did it, it was funny:


When Congress does it, it is not funny. It is tragic, a huge waste of time, resources, and money.

However, when Marco Rubio does it, it is somehow funny and tragic at the same time:

If I Could Amend Marco Rubio

“I am convinced if this president could confiscate every gun, he would,” Rubio told the cheering audience. “I am convinced if he could get rid of the 2nd Amendment, he would.”

Fox Business moderator Neil Cavuto seemed taken aback, telling Rubio, “Under his presidency gun sales have more than doubled. That doesn’t sound like a White House unfriendly to gun owners.”

His voice increasing in both speed and volume, Rubio doubled down.

“I see how he works with the Attorney General, not to defend the 2nd Amendment but to figure out ways to undermine it. I have seen him appoint people to our courts not to defend the 2nd Amendment but figure out ways to undermine it,” Rubio said. “If there is an act of violence in america, his immediate answer before he knows the facts is gun control.”
The United States is a nation that began because people wanted change. The United States Constitution and The Bill of Rights were about change. The word "amendment"  literally means "change". The Constitution itself says that it can be changed, that is why we have amendments. Suggesting that the Constitution can be changed is not a commie plot. Suggesting that the Constitution cannot be changed sounds like one. Suggesting that the 2nd Amendment cannot be changed or abolished is Un-American.

Rubio is lying about Obama as well. Obama has never said he would get rid of the 2nd Amendment.

The United States Constitution was ratified in 1788. The Bill of Rights was ratified in 1791. How did we survive without the right to bear arms for three years?

Dumbass Quote Of Note - Marco Rubio

"I just think you’ve created an industry now — a situation where very much, you’ve created an incentive for people not just to look forward to having more abortions, but being able to sell that fetal tissue — these centers — for purposes of making a profit off it, as you’ve seen in some of these Planned Parenthood affiliates." - Marco Rubio
