So apparently Marco Rubio thinks Pete Buttigieg should resign.

I heard that on the radio this morning along with loud noises about hauling Mayor Pete before a congressional committee to "answer for" the East Palestine disaster.

Here's my response:

Bring it on you Magat morons. Pete will wipe the floor with your idiot asses. He's smarter than any five of you put together, and I would love...LOVE...to see you try to stop him from proving--for the millionth time--just how empty and pointless are the utterances coming out of your collective face holes.

Setting things on fire, even relatively non-toxic things, is pretty well ALWAYS the wrong thing to do.

conservatives and anti-Democratic leftists. Or the 100th.

When LW populists claimed to hold progressive values but told the world they wouldn't vote Democratic, throwing progressive government under the Republican bus, and pushed the same Big Lie that tRump/GOP later used to power their attempted coup d'etat, they showed what they are.

Or does Rubio believe we have a socialist country in which the government runs the railroads? Or does Rubio believe that our government has supernatural powers to monitor and control the conditions and actions of all trains at all times?

is quite possibly the dumbest, stupidest idiot in the Senate. And since he keeps getting reelected he is a direct reflection on the people of Florida. His shitness, TFG, rescinded the President Obama upgrades of electric brakes for individual tanker cars for trains. It may not have helped or prevented this tragedy but, it sure wouldn't have hurt. Most likely, it would've kept it from being as bad as it was.

Marco Rubio, go fuck yourself! It might do you some good.

I don't know if these right wing morons watch their interviews after they finish them, but if they do, how is it they still get in front of a camera and continue to make asses of themselves? I don't get it. Secretary Buttigieg has more brains in his pinky finger than the entire republican elected officials.
Not one of them actually upholds the oath they take to have the privilege to be in our government, they just say shit they think will make Democratic members of the Cabinet and Congress look bad.
I find it funny that they don't realize they make our party look smarter every time they criticize one of our members. I can't wait to get out of magat country here on long island.

Ask Rubio why Trump cancelled the improved braking system the Obama Administration had ordered for all trains carrying larger amounts of hazardous materials.

So Rubio is passed that Buttigieg didn't fix four years of Trump stupidity just yet?

GOPers hate the EPA. They don't give a shit about clean air and clean water--they certainly don't want regulations on industry to ensure it. Suck it in, Ohio. Drink it, eat it, bathe in it, breathe it in. This is what you vote for, time and time again.
