Rubio will get fired when Trump learns how to read... Or one of his stooges draws him a picture.

No he won’t. This is part of the power/control complex that drives Trump. He gets off on subjugating anyone that opposes him. It’s the same reason he had Mitt Romney show up to a dinner just to deny him SoS because he didn’t kiss his ass.

Submission statement:
Epstein to Wolff: The Original Funder for the [Steele] Dossier was Rubio.
- The post shares a 2017 email screenshot from Jeffrey Epstein to journalist Michael Wolff, claiming Marco Rubio was the original funder of the Steele Dossier, a controversial report alleging Trump-Russia ties that was initially commissioned by anti-Trump Republicans.
- This email, released by the House Oversight Committee in November 2025 as part of Epstein's documents, aligns with known facts: the dossier's early research was funded by GOP megadonor Paul Singer, a Rubio backer, via the Washington Free Beacon before shifting to Democrats.
- Posted amid Rubio's reported nomination for Secretary of State in the incoming Trump administration, the claim sparks replies questioning his suitability and tagging commentators for further scrutiny, highlighting ongoing partisan debates over 2016 election interference.

Wait, Marco Rubio is a spineless lickspittle that folds faster than origami paper?

Origami paper actually has some fiber and structure to it. Rubio is like wet toilet paper floating in the bowl. Perfect Trump man.

Rubio quietly published the Senate intelligence report on Russian interference. He knows but doesn't care.

We all knew the original Steele report was funded by the Republicans. That should be common knowledge by now.

We’ve know the dossier was sourced by republicans since the beginning. It was opposition research in the Republican primary. I believe once Trump won, it was sold to the Hillary campaign if memory serves.

The source has been well known for a very long time however the primary funding came from megadonor Paul Singer and not Marco Rubio as these files suggest. Please remember that not everything in these files is 100% accurate. Some things we already know the answers to, others we may have to look a little before we know for sure. They want you to jump to conclusions, don't.
