Marco Rubio got confused about marshall law, martial law & marital law

United States President Donald J. Trump Impeachment Trial

Senator Marco Rubio has always been an idiot. I’m old enough to remember – circa 2007-08 – when Rubio was considered one of the brightest stars of the Republican Party, and he was being billed as “the guy” who would grow the GOP base and bring in more Latino voters, etc. You get it, he was called the future of the GOP. And that hype died down pretty quickly when everyone got a good look at how spineless, corrupt and stupid he is (not to mention his permanent derpface). But this is next-level. Yesterday, Rubio decided to do a “fact check” on the rumor that Donald Trump was about to declare martial law during the coronavirus pandemic. MARTIAL. As pertaining to the military, meaning American civilians would be put under strict conditions overseen by the military. This is what Rubio tweeted:

Marshall Law? That’s not a thing. And don’t get me wrong, I have issues with some homophones as well. Many people have issues with homophones. Many people are not United States senators trying to calm a populace on edge in a global pandemic though. Instead of deleting the tweet and correcting the spelling, Rubio tweeted this:

Marital law is not MARTIAL law. As of this writing, both tweets are still up, because that’s the state of the Republican Party these days. And, I mean, I guess I understand? The GOP would rather we talk about “marshall law” and “Chinese virus” rather than talk about how Trump and the GOP are screwing over everyone in America.

Also, Marshall Mathers has spoken.

    Marshall law?? Like the US is gonna turn into an episode of Gunsmoke. Lmao…the GOP is full of morons.

  4. Esmom says:

    HAHAHAHA. I saw a tweet about these three words and knew something like this had happened, didn’t realize it was Rubio, though. When is his term up? Sigh.

    And Eminem’s response was perfect, lol.

        Can’t happen soon enough for us Floridians. I tweet Marco 3-4 times a week and call his office 2x a month. I am not a fan. I’m sure I’m on a list somewhere. 🤣

      • BayTampaBay says:

        @H – I am on the same list too. We must get rid of Rubio then that Mr. Skeletor Person….aka Rick Scott….must be the next to go!

    Well, the world will need a Marshall Plan to help countries recover from the horrors of 2020.

    I have to admit I can see myself making the Martial/Marshall mistake (not a proud moment). But, I would like to think that I would make sure not to have a typo in the correction.

    Republicans do love to elect Bible thumping morons, don’t they?

  8. vertes says:

    Does “marital law” mean we can’t get married or divorced until the virus pandemic has passed? Maybe it refers to special provisions to be used in prenups for the duration?

  9. C-Shell says:

    “Permanent derpface” OMG that’s IT! I’m *so sick* of morons in positions where they are able to cause national, if not, global harm.

    Big fan here of Derpy Hooves. https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Derpy Marco Rubio in much, much dumber.

  12. MeghanNotMarkle says:

    Us sane Floridians are embarrassed that this douchecanoe is representing us. We can’t vote him out fast enough.

  13. Veronica S. says:

    Amazing how far money can take utter incompetence, isn’t it? Really speaks volumes.

  14. Jensays says:

    This just makes me think of Arrested Development and the obsession with Maritime law. I picture Rubio being a the dumbest of the Bluthes.

    Doesn’t he have a law degree? If so he should know the distinction of that word. WTF
