.. says he's trying to get information from the State Department and they are refusing to talk to him. US Senator. Refusing to give him ANY INFORMATION.
That's one to cross the aisle...

Let's go down memory lane...
http://ijr.com/2016/04/589529-marco-rubio-donald-trump-nominee/
"In an interview with WIOD in Miami, former presidential candidate Marco Rubio revealed that he's willing to support anyone to prevent Hillary Clinton from becoming president, no matter the cost to his record.
When the DJ asked Rubio if he would support Trump if he got the nomination, he said:
I've always said I'm going to support the Republican nominee ... and that's especially true now that it's apparent that Hillary Clinton is going to be the Democratic [nominee]. "

Isn't it amazing that the voters put such a name calling bully in?

Tourists come from all over the world daily. Even the Arab world.
Cutting off the supply of tourists cuts off a lot of cash flow.

(5,955 posts)Little Marco questioned Tillerson, and extensively proved that he's in Putin's pocket. He made a big fuss in front of the TV cameras, to show off the a handful of chickenhawks in his base...then voted for Tillerson anyway, and then rolled over hoping Trump would tickle his belly.
Once again, I think he'll bark a little, but never bite. Same for McCain and Graham.
