Where is Marco Rubio?

Shortly after being nominated to be President-elect Donald Trump's Secretary of State, Senator Marco Rubio is Missing in Action (MIA)

No. Sen. Rubio has not gone missing; he's just what we in the Media call "gone dark."

Rubio hasn't done any interviews or media gaggles, let alone posted his usual TV hits on Social Media.

Speaking of social media, on "X," Rubio has ghosted everyone. Well, kind of.

Outside of Washington, Rubio has also been stealthy back home.

Outside of continuing his mandatory dog walking and poop pickup duties and throwing pillows at the TV expressing his frustration with his football (not the real Futbol) teams, Rubio has been laying low.

On Dec 3, Rubio posted a couple of images of him sitting with a couple of his fellow senators who will be voting to confirm him when the confirmation process begins next year.

During the picture or video spray with Sen. Lindsey Graham, only Sen. Graham spoke, while Rubio sat quietly there.

However, Rubio gave a slight smirk and nod to arguably the best-looking reporter/publisher in Florida and Capitol Hill, yours truly. Ahahahaha

I'm kidding about that, but not really. I wear the color green well.

Rubio's Secretary of State confirmation process is expected to begin soon after President Trump is sworn into office.

Veteran Round Table

Byron Donalds-The 2024 Election represented a pivotal turning point in our nation's history.

The American people chose SAFETY.

The American people chose SECURITY.

And the American people chose the most consequential president of the modern era to lead them.

Congratulations to @realDonaldTrump on winning @TIME

Person of the Year.

Jared Moskowitz-The US governments lack of answers to these drones is unacceptable and continues down the line of concealment about #UAPs.
