Twitler made sure Lil Marco will never be POTUS and this is Rubio’s petty revenge. We’ll take it.
Grassroots JoePetty? More like the absurdly rare occurrence of a principled act on his part to make damn sure Trump can't pull us out of NATO if he were, insane as it would be, allowed back in the White House.

Revenge is the only thing animating modern day republicans. It’s why tRump is the perfect face of their party. Principles? They have none.

I'm just going to say that gross generalizations that are not universal and exclude the reality of other motivations are not helpful.
It may well be true that most MAGA cultists are motivated by revenge for whatever imagined wrongs have been ginned up by Trump, but not every Republican is a MAGA cultist, certainly not most legacy Congressional Republicans.
They've certainly tethered themselves to him electorally, but they aren't cultists.

Liz Cheney, the current face of the GOP ‘never Trumpers’, voted with Twitler more than 90% of her time in the House.
Check the voting record of any of these folks and you’ll find similar.
Not one of them is ready to put country over party.
And you’ll say, what about this vote? I’ll say, show me more. Much much more.
What does Cheney's long-standing ultra-conservative voting record have to do with revenge?
She literally threw away her GOP political career on principle and is most definitely putting country over Party.
So did Adam Kinzinger.
Yeah, there's not very many of them, and, as Rachel Maddow made crystal clear in the intro to her Cheney interview, we can 100% disagree on policy and be very happy to have them in our #SaveDemocracy coalition.
@joeinwynnewood @JillWineBanks
Gave up on Maddow when she welcomed Megyn Kelly and Greta Van Susteran to NBC, and asked her audience to give them a chance.
As for Cheney and Kitzinger, they remain republicans. Anyone still connecting themselves to the party 100% owned and controlled by Twitler gets nothing from me.
Getting back to revenge, you’re willing to ascribe positive motives for Rubio co-sponsoring the bill that’s supposed to stop tRump from pulling US out of NATO. I’m not. Sorry.
@joeinwynnewood
The only way to make sure Toupee Fiasco doesn’t pull US out of NATO is to make sure he doesn’t get a 2nd term.
Ask Lil Marco who he’d vote for if it’s Biden v tRump?
There are many good reasons to send the loser off to finish his appeals before his sentences are carried out, and still, this provision of the NDAA will prevent any President, including from unilaterally removing the US from NATO.
I don't have any intention of asking Rubio anything. You are free to do so if you desire an answer.
@joeinwynnewood
Funny. You know and I know he doesn’t have the cojones to say anything other than he’ll keep kissing Orange arse, like all the rest.
Chickenhawks the lot of them.
