A Cuban American senator from Florida advocating military intervention in South America seems awfully ignorant of history.

He should look at our President and his Party also.

And a master of investigative techniques! Downright Holmesian.
I know Rubio is an ineffectual poser and an administration whore and that this all smacks of hypocrisy. That said, kudos to the senator. Dictators should be shamed and ostracized everywhere they set foot. No human being should give comfort to, nor accept blood-soaked money from dictators.

Posting the address and phone number is really aggressive regardless of what the chef did. What an intense level of inferiority complex he must have to go this bold against a constituent chef and roll over daily for large donors, Mitch McConnell and trump.

So Rubio is bitching about a Turkish chef serving food to a customer who happens to be the Venezuelan president in Turkey and is aiming the rightwing nutters at the poor fucks working at a Miami reasturant that just happens to be owned by said Turkish chef, because apparently a sitting US Senator obviously has nothing better to do.
And what was his response to SHS being refused service in the country she is actually involved with fucking up?

Ah, the choking sanctimony of Rubes. Who has dutifully submitted to/helped cover for a gangster president whoās coddled dictators around the world and is rapidly (thanks to the obsequity of Rubio and his fellow Republicans in Congress) converting the worldās oldest democracy into a Russian-style one-party autocracy, its tyranny obscured by only the shabbiest of faux-democratic Potemkin Village fronting.

Especially when said Senator doesnāt seem to care about the people suffering under the fists of the dictators Trumpp openly admires.
Yes, kleptocrats who starve their people are vermin (North Korea, anyone?), but so are people who have eliminated Democracy (Russia, China) or who openly encourage death squads that operate with no fear of accountability (Philippines). Iām sure Iāve overlooked some of the emerging authoritarians in Europe. The US embrace of the various effed-up kingdoms of the Middle East is not new, but the Trumpp administration has decided that we should stop caring about human rights in countries unless and until he feels the need to vilify them.

Okay, tech world, thereās a demand out there for a browser extension that will block those stupid columns of video from appearing on the landscape screens we all use when we want to watch videos without squinting.
Marco has to agree with Trump though.
Itās a great way to discourage immigrants from coming in and ruining a bigly beautiful country.
Marco, Republicans really arenāt in any position to complain about or mock overweight dictators.

Actually, what Rubio is doing, with absolute premeditated malice, is to call for a commercial boycott (or vandalism) of a public figure who dared cross the rabid anti communist Cuban terrorist organizations that have operated in Miami since the Cuban Revolution. This is a tactic that those organizations have deployed since the early 60s. Puerto Rican musicians Danny Rivera and Andy Montanez, and Brazilian singer Denisse de Kalaffe were threatened and subjected to boycott calls by the Mas Canosa Cuban American Foundation and by Omega 66, both political extortionists who have operated in Miami sort of like the Mafia because they had all previously performed concerts in Cuba. Rubio is not original. And he is a acting in the tradition of thugs who preceded him in this tactic.

Maduro is a tyrant. He should be in prison, not eating in a nice restaurant. Regardless of the history you state, Rubio is doing the correct thing in this instance.
Maduro is a tyrant and an asshole too. Salt Bae is entitled to serve him if he visits Salt Baeās native country. Rubio is using a particular dog whistle and strong arm public intimidation tactic originated by gangsters and terrorists within the Cuban American Community. There is nothing correct or admirable in his copy cat invocation of their old, tired thug playbook.

āWhat Rubio is doing is to call for a commercial boycott of a business that engaged in practices he finds objectionable.ā
Whatever the reasons? Ok. Heās allowed to do that. If weāre gonna applaud members of the administration being faced with protesters when they go out to eat, we shouldnāt be hypocritical about anyone else seeing someone they consider immoral and evil going out to eat, and expressing themselves in a non-violent manner.
ETA:
Yup. Totally is. And Rubio is entitled to call him out for it, and encourage people to avoid his businesses. Yay the system works?
