Marco Rubio has never adequately explained his familial narco-trafficking links Rubio's brother-in-law, Orlando Cicilia, stored kilos of cocaine in the bedroom of a house where Marco Rubio lived Cicilia was one of the top drug traffickers in South Florida, and was sentenced to 35 years in prison for distributing $15 million worth of cocaine After Cicilia's early release from prison in 2000, Marco Rubio used his influence as majority whip of Florida's House of Representatives to help his brother-in-law obtain a real estate license In an interview with Univision's Jorge Ramos, Rubio reacted angrily when asked about Cicilia, acknowledging that the Cocaine Cowboy had given him gifts while housing him Univision also reported that police have not been able to determine whether Marco Rubio was involved in Cicilia's operation Today, Rubio assists Trump's deportation of immigrants for petty drug infractions, while falsely labeling Venezuela's government as "narco-terrorists" to justify a looming regime change war that could soon destabilize the region and trigger another major migrant wave

Dick Cheney died after a long life in which he cashed in handsomely on calamitous wars he launched on the basis of crude lies. But his spirit lives on in the Trump administration, a collection of authoritarian knaves and white collar criminals who have escalated his bogus war on terror to pursue lucre through violent conquest in Venezuela, while bombing Iranian targets designated by apartheid Israel, and threatening to jail and deport those within their realm who disagree. The Democrats, meanwhile, have attempted to salvage the image of the Cheney family, making Liz Cheney the star surrogate of Kamala’s historically inept 2024 campaign, hailing her as an icon of American democracy, and even praising her father for his “service.” They did this purely because the Cheneys opposed Trump, as if that was sufficient to atone for their seminal role in torture, criminal deception, the maiming of thousands of US service members and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. Dick Cheney may be physically dead but the most odious characteristics of his leadership and legacy have been distilled into the essence of the US regime.

Marco Rubio says he's using the US military against Venezuela to stop fentanyl from "poisoning our people" But Rubio was a key sponsor of a 2016 bill that fueled the opioid crisis, blocking the DEA from investigating corrupt drug companies Rubio was heavily funded by Big Pharma, raking in $290K from the industry in 2016 alone The bill caused so much death and destruction that its lead sponsor, Rep. Tom Marino, was forced to withdraw his nomination as Trump's drug czar It's just another reason why Narco Rubio is a fitting name for the war-crazed Secretary of State
