Little Marco To Be America's Top Diplomat
Good thing Marco Rubio, Little Marco to you, has been giving Trump's ego a tongue bath for the past 8 years, getting picked to be Secretary Of State will take some of the sting out of being humiliated over and over by his "boss".
This may bode well for the Ukrainians although the Palestinians are fucked.

Trump expected to choose Sen. Marco Rubio for secretary of state

President-elect Donald Trump is expected to nominate Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida for secretary of state in his administration in the coming days, according to three sources familiar with the selection process.
Trump could still change his mind, the sources cautioned, noting that the decision wouldn't be finalized until he makes a formal announcement.
The New York Times first reported Trump's plans to select Rubio to be the country's top diplomat.
Foreign policy is one of the few areas in which there is a deep philosophical disagreement among Trump's base.
A main pitch from Trump during the campaign was that he would implement “America First” policies, a doctrine that emphasizes less foreign aid, trying to curtail U.S. involvement in current foreign conflicts and avoiding future ones. But there remains a different strain of foreign policy thinking among even prominent Trump supporters.
Even though Rubio is an avowed Trump supporter, the perception is that he was one of the "less MAGA" options, a Trump ally told NBC News. It’s a position that requires appealing enough to Trump’s more isolationist political base but also carrying water for the less disruptive brand of foreign policy that those Trump backers generally oppose.
Rubio, a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, was seen as a potential pick able to thread the needle of appealing enough to Trump’s political base while not needlessly eroding relationships with foreign allies.
Trump ally said Rubio was someone “Trump’s base could trust.”

Ambition trumps principle and character every time.
There are a lot of needles that are going to need threading in the next few months.
Well, yeah! It's what any rational, sane, and patriotic American non-antisemite would want.
Rubio is absolutely right on this issue. Hamas has had over a year to surrender and return all the hostages. They alone are entirely responsible for the death and destruction that has rained down upon their citizens.
What was that you were saying about Stephen Miller?
