Marco Rubio speaks, and removes all doubt.

1. Jesus, what a fucking idiot.

I’m surprised he didn’t find a Bible quote to go along with his dumb-ass statement.

[NQAS]

21. I'm sorry I didn't read this post before you

I would have liked to have been the one to write, Jesus, what a fucking idiot.

I mean, really, how can one person be this fantastically stupid? Isn't a senator supposed to have staff to be sure that their senator doesn't appear in public to be as stupid as he is in private? And if this was vetted by staff, I guess we shouldn't be surprised that a fantastically stupid senator would hire fantastically stupid staff.

Whenever I see this kind of stuff (btw, is this a second idiotic reference to a German dam, or is this an older tweet - doesn't really matter, though - it's always a good time to dump on Rubio), I wonder whether spouse and children and other family regret that they were born into this family and that, on the children side, that they share his genes and worry that they, too, may also be congenitally stupid?

[zuul]

24. Rubio's fucking idiotic statement deserves two

“Jesus, what a fucking idiot” responses. At least two. Maybe two hundred.

[Escurumbele]

30. The thing is that Rubio, like many republicans, don't have worthwhile things to say, or brag about

so these gaffs keep them in the news, they really have no shame.

republicans remind me of a TV ad that was out a long time ago, a beer commercial, where the guy said you can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay, or...as long as you call me...

And that is what republicans do, that is what trump-the-buffoon does, although in trump-the-buffoon's case he may be thinking he is saying or doing something brilliant.

2. "Little Marco"

Needs to stick to Bible quotes.

11. Like the ones he ignores and breaks?

[Mike Nelson]

3. Ha-ha!

... really, I noticed this with Crooked Donald. these people don't have enough money or brain power to hire someone to screen their pearls of stupidity? They don't know their weaknesses? They don't have friends or relatives close enough to tell them? Their egos must be so big... and so dumb...

4. I hope Val Demings beats the pants off of him. Then makes him eat it.

5. Rubio doesn't need intelligence, he just needs to feed the Rubes some daily Bible passages.

This gave me a much needed morning laugh, the Bible quote is the Chef's kiss.

12. What a bone head.

13. Hey, thirsty boy Rubio:

[TeamProg]

14. Stupid? Yes. But McCarthy, Gohmert and Boebert are far more stupid.

Add Virgina Fox to the lot.

[rsdsharp]

23. Virginia Fox is living proof that PhD stands for

Piled Higher and Deeper.

[3catwoman3]

29. Virginia Fox has a PhD?

[rsdsharp]

31. Technically, it's an EdD. But she does have a doctorate.

[3catwoman3]

32. Piled higher and deeper for sure.

So many people have doctorates these days that I’m not as impressed as I used to be..

[RVN VET71]

25. Deltas and Epsilons all

The bottom castes of Huxley’s oft banned classic, they were created to be of low intelligence, little empathy, and no talent. Perfect combination for a Republican politician and voter.

For what it’s worth, I’ll grant the Fab Three of Fox, Hannity, Ingraham, and Swanson-Carlson, Gamma status. Just smart enough to run herd on the Deltas and Epsilons who vote for the Gohmerts and Boeberts of America.

[Traildogbob]

15. Dehydrated brain.

Gulp gulp gulp. Florida really has a brain shortage. The Delta thinning may be a good thing. Sorry good Florida people, must be hell to be stuck there. Just look
At the list of Govs, and all those sent to represent and earn that gubment check for year after year. Criminally stupid and corrupt. And now you house the biggest traitor in the History of the nation. And his spawn. DC is a law abiding home of brilliant people compared to Florida. And really a swamp. Your elected people crawl right out that that black water.

It's still funny, but not relevant to current events.

[TexasBushwhacker]

36. Yes, but did he post a tweet about Texas losing power

last February. We have poor infrastructure maintenance too, and we sure as hell aren't Socialists!

[zaj]

17. "Transformer explosion by German Dam" ...He gets a pass

I could have made the same mistake. 😅

[BlueJac]

18. What a dumbass...

19. He must have a real problem with weatherpeople

22. LOL

[Jilly_in_VA]

26. Old, but a great laugh

El Senador bebé de FloriDUH demuestra su ignorancia de nuevo.

Read THAT, Marco, you dumb sucker!

And for those of you who don't speak Spanish, here it is in translation: The baby senator from FloriDUH shows his ignorance again.

[Warpy]

27. OK, that was funny

Rubio is a dunce. Cuba did not send us their best.

[rickyhall]

28. He does that a lot.

[DFW]

33. If Rubio ever visits central Europe

I hope he never looks for a journalist named "Deutsche Talsperre."

For that matter, I wonder if Florida will ever tire of an idiot Senator named "Blond Marc" who probably has more gaffes in a month than Joe Biden has amassed in his lifetime.

[Maraya1969]

34. Link to an explanation for those who can't figuere it out - like me.

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/3/11/18259983/marco-rubio-german-dam-venezuela-blackout

My confusing first name has done it again. This time, it led to a minor gaffe by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL).

Some background: Since last week, Venezuela has seen massive power outages, rooted in the country’s poor maintenance of its electricity network and problems originating in the Guri hydroelectric plant. It’s yet another sign of the abysmal state the country is in under the leadership of President Nicolás Maduro.

Rubio tweeted about the news over the weekend — claiming in a now-deleted tweet that the blackout was caused by “another transformer explosion at the German Dam in Bolivar State.” But the tweet got a big thing wrong: This was not due to problems at Venezuela’s “German Dam.” Germán Dam, instead, is the name of a journalist who reported the story about the power outages.

35. Marco is every bit as dim as the rest of them.

[TexasBushwhacker]

37. Marco, you represent Florida. Stay in your lane.

Florida has plenty of its own problems.
