After his grand-slam speech in Munich, slugger Marco Rubio blasts another one all the way out to the cheap seats.

Rubio’s European Tour Heats Up — WaPo and the Cuban Revolution Take a Beating
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been in Europe this weekend for the Munich Security Conference and to meet with officials in Slovakia and Hungary. To be honest, when I saw his schedule, I thought, this will be a boring trip. I doubt I’ll even write anything about it. Europe bores me these days.

Witchya all the way on that one, cuz.

On Sunday, Rubio traveled to Slovakia to meet with President Peter Pellegrini and Prime Minister Robert Fico. He and Fico took questions from the press after their meeting, and one Washington Post reporter tried to play games with some little gotcha questions about Venezuela — Rubio wasn’t having it.

After asking Rubio a question about Iran, the WaPo reporter then turned to Fico and asked, “On Venezuela, you strongly opposed America’s removal of Maduro by force, saying it demonstrates a deepening breakdown of the international order. Do you still feel that way given where we’re at now? And also, you’ve denied saying that you were worried about President Trump’s psychological state following your meeting with him in Mar-a-Lago. Can you explain how this was potentially misinterpreted?”

(For context, Fico has been one of the more vocal European critics of our capture of Nicolás Maduro, saying it went against international law and calling it an “American adventure,” something about oil, yada yada. As for the talk about Trump’s “psychological state,” Politico did a story last month claiming Fico said he was worried about Trump’s “dangerous” mental state, but Fico has denied ever saying that.)

Anyway, Rubio answered the question about Iran, but before Fico could answer the one about Venezuela, Rubio continued Saturday’s display of unapologetic U.S. swagger. He not only called the reporter out for asking such a question, but he defended the Maduro move and even bragged about it a little.

He did at that, and it’s a thing of beauty to behold. Plenty more where the above came from, of which you want to read the all.

Update! Just gotta throw in this bit, on the doomed Commie shitrapy of Cuba:

At some point between all of these bada** moments, Rubio sat down with Bloomberg News for an interview. The interviewer, John Micklethwait, asked Rubio how long he thinks the Cuban regime can hold out with no oil. As we know, a couple of weeks ago, Trump threatened secondary tariffs on any country that offered the now isolated nation any oil, and Cuba has pretty much run out of it to the point that planes are grounded, ground transportation isn’t happening, people are gathering wood so they can cook, and everything from school days to surgeries have been canceled.

Rubio’s didn’t hesitate to call the situation what it is. “The revolution in Cuba ended a long time ago,” he said.

He continued.

Cuba’s fundamental problem is that it has no economy and its economic model is one that has never been tried and has never worked anywhere else in the world, okay? It just doesn’t have a real economic policy. It doesn’t have a real economy.

Now, put aside for a moment the fact that it has no freedom of expression, no democracy, no respect for human rights. The fundamental problem Cuba has it is has no economy, and the people who are in charge of that country, in control of that country, they don’t know how to improve the everyday life of their people without giving up power over sectors that they control. They want to control everything. They don’t want the people of Cuba to control anything.

So they don’t know how to get themselves out of this. And to the extent that they have been offered opportunities to do it, they don’t seem to be able to comprehend it or accept it in any ways. They would much rather be in charge of the country than allow it to prosper.

While he wouldn’t give the details of what he and President Trump are planning for the future of the island nation, he did say quite confidently that now that it’s not receiving handouts, it won’t survive because it’s never been able to survive without help before.

S’truth, right down the line.

Updated update! Compare, contrast.

Czech Politician Enrages Hillary Clinton in Munich
During the Munich Security Conference, Czech Deputy Prime Minister Petr Macinka pummeled Hillary Clinton with truth. She tried to talk about women’s rights and Ukraine as a digression away from the points he was making.

Macinka began mocking her TDS, which infuriated her.

Hillary wants the US to push the Ukraine war. She destroyed Libya with her approach and learned nothing from it. She wants to “inflict pain.” This is the woman who laughed when Gaddafi was tortured and killed. Torturing and killing aren’t funny.

I wasn’t impressed with the intelligence or comments by the people on this panel, especially Hillary, who can’t control her temper. She isn’t a world leader, why was she even there? She’s a three-time failed presidential candidate and failed miserably as Secretary of State.

At this point, I think it entirely safe to say that Hillary!™ is NOT the future of A) the “feminist” movement; B) the D卐M☭CRAT “Party”; the US of A; D) Western Civ; E) anything at all, frankly. Which, Her Herness© seems to be aware of this, explaining in part why she’s so touchy and ill-tempered of late.

Essentially, she turns out to have been wrong about absolutely everything, leading to her narcissistic ass being left behind on history’s ash heap of discarded lies. Now all’s she can do is sit there amongst the rest of the smelly trash—rotting banana peels, used Kleenex, mouse droppings, watermelon rinds, fish heads wrapped in old newspapers, and road-kill carcasses—muttering angrily to herself as the world continues to pass her by without a backward glance.

Update to the updated update! The bitter old hag might take a page from her former boss on how best to emotionally cope with having misread every sign, blithely skated right past every portent, missed every clue, and ignored every hint: screw up your face all serious-like, look sincerely concerned, poke out your forked tongue, and lie like a cheap rug. Yes, about EVERYTHING.

See, Hills? Grandmaster Bathhouse Barry, with many, many years of experience at this sort of thing, makes it look easy-peasy. Now all y’all have to do is hope like hell somebody out there still believes y’all’s arrant bullshit…or even cares, for that matter.

Updates, forsooth! Nuts-n-bolts details on Hillary’s™ spectacular Munich self-beclownment, from Nick Arama.

Clinton made a pretty stunning comment that migration had gone “too far, it’s been disruptive and destabilizing.” That’s a big indictment of the Democratic policies over the last several years, whether she understands that or not. The big question was why she was saying it. Was it because she’s trying to paint the Democrats as more moderate than they are as they scream about abolishing ICE? Maybe, but that isn’t going to work, given the mess they made of securing the border and dealing with illegal aliens.

She also appeared to attack the Trump administration’s approach to dealing with the mess that Joe Biden left him, which is a disgraceful thing to do while overseas.

Petr Macinka, a Czech deputy prime minister, took her to task, “First, I think you really don’t like him.”

“You know, that is absolutely true,” Clinton said. Then she tried to tell him what to do when it comes to Trump, “But not only do I not like him, but I don’t like what he’s actually doing to the United States and the world, and I think you should take a hard look at it if you think there is something good that will come of it.” She’s still so burnt that Trump beat her, even ten years later.

Macinka explained that what led to Trump winning was how extreme the left had become. “Well, what Trump is doing in America, I think, is a reaction. Reaction for some policies that really went too far, too far from the regular people.”

He then referred to things like cancel culture, the “woke” revolution, and gender ideologies, while Hillary made faces next to him.

Jeezum H CROW. How any sensible person still takes these retarded assclowns, these nitwit juvenile delinquents, even somewhat seriously is beyond my ken. Does it get even better from there, you ask? Why, yes; yes, it does.
