Can someone remind the Latino that he's a means to an end and not really in the club?

I’m with ya. Funny thing is Marco’s body language. He looks as though he couldn’t be possibly any more miserable than he is. He sits there with a faraway stare and only acts under hardline orders from some higher up the chain.
Yeah, I've wondered what kind of dirt they have on him. He clearly never wants to be there.
Prolly why he's doing this.
He's a fucking comprador gusano.
I’m not 100% comprehension but I sure do enjoy your moxie!
Obviously, Trump is about the most un-Christlike person possible. I don't think Rubio is much better. But even if he was, and I agreed with everything he tried to do, as a Christian I would still want there to be a separation of church and state, as the Constitution intends. But this administration will use anything: religion, conservatives, guns, corruption, lies, war, etc in their pursuit of power and to inflict misery on those they hate. Fuck them all so hard...
Unfortunately the vast majority of your religious brethren do not agree with you and think that American is a Christian country, that should stand by Christian morals above all.
While being the biggest fucking hypocrites.
It’s also what Jesus intended.
Not Christian, evangelical made up nonsense far removed from any teachings of the Christ
No true Christian, amirite guys?
That’s an A firming Amen! 10-4 Copy that ya’ll? Comeback?
Not really. I am a Rosicrucian. But let’s not pretend evangelicals practice any teachings of the Christ
teachings of Christ
Oh, like "slaves, obey your masters"?
Edit: my mistake, it was Paul who said this.
That said, I stand by my point. The Bible is explicitly pro slavery. The Old Testament gives instructions on how to beat your slaves. Jesus said he didn't come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it.
Jesus and his disciples were steeped in a culture built around slave labor, and he never once bothered to say "hey guys, maybe don't do that"
The Christ never said that
You're right, see my edit
Which is very par for the course.
Preach the New Testament, while practicing the Old.
"Jesus Christ!" said the Christian. "Oh my God!" said the Jew. "Fuck all of those stupid motherfuckers!" said the regular citizens just trying to make a living.
When do we rename the US as New Israel?
Right after Trump had been appointed Supreme Leader for Life.
Here we go again.
Antichristian, that is; in service to Mammon and to the Beast 666, Nero redivivus.
Sorry, there is nothing antichristian about this. The Bible literally endorses slavery, stop pretending like they're some kind of moral paragon.
Fix the headline
“Americans allow Marco Rubio to rebrand the State Department as explicitly Christian”
Americans aren't Christians ,just ...
