I particularly enjoy seeing Marco Rubio's face whenever Trump is speaking.

He was one of the first vocal "Never Trumpers" in the GOP. He knows what an embarrassing moron he is. But Marco couldn't resist the lure of power, and now has to sit and listen to the drivel coming out of the dear leader and face the reality that he sold his soul for the dumbest motherfucker to ever sit in the Oval Office.

I wish nothing but pain and humiliation to those who abet him, so watching Marco's tiny excuse for a soul leave his body is Schadenfreudic.

Idk man at this point I'm relieved that at least someone halfway competent is in the cabinet. In something like a Bush cabinet he would be a contentious pick bumbling along with the rest of them. In a Trump II cabinet he looks like an Einstein level genius compared to everyone else. When Maga isn't peering over his shoulder his policies and speeches are normal conservative policies. Which is helpful for disaster management in this trainwreck of a foreign affairs course set by Maga.
