Opinion Marco Rubio appearance on FOX news

[rearnakedchoke]

It doesn't matter, but making them showy is obviously virtue signalling.

Well, that is the point. By Jesus’ own words, he spoke against being “showy”. So Rubio having the make up team enhance the cross is going against Jesus’ teachings.

Jesus has been an exploited brand for a long time.

I suppose the other extreme is Muhammad, who is not to be depicted or made into a trivial brand in any way.

Centre ground of quiet dignity is best imo.

LOL I'm not clicking on that shit. Cliffs? Only Trump can make what possible?

• Ash Wednesday Surprise: On March 5, 2025, Secretary Rubio joined Fox News with a black cross on his forehead, leaving viewers wondering if it was a new diplomatic symbol or just a case of "Lent-ertainment."
  
  
• Faith displayed on Marco's forehead : The cross, a hallmark of Ash Wednesday, had some speculating if Rubio was starting a new trend—"ashes to diplomacy."

Yeah it's only a key principle of the founding father's, no big deal.

What does separation of church and state have to do with anything here? The Ash Wednesday thing? If you think that comes even anywhere close to violating the establishment clause then you are sorely mistaken.

Is Ilhan Omar violating the establishment clause by wearing hijab? No serious and informed person can argue that.

And it looked ridiculous, not sure why you would want to look like that on TV. But my question remains... Let's assume this was the work of a priest, not his makeup team lol are you allowed to clean it off? Is it considered bad luck to remove it?

 

[Andy Capp]

Oh I didn’t watch the clip. He was referencing with the “what is this supposed to mean” about the ashes.

I was raised Catholic (until I reached the age of reason, as did George Carlin) and I've never seen such a ridiculous looking adherent. But Rubio doesn't need the help to look ridiculous these days.

It's just a general trend rather than this particular thing.

Obviously a piece of clothing and a pretend ash mark are slightly different though, you can't wear a "faint" hijab, you just wear one, same with any religious attire, but you can wear a more subtle ash mark if you're not trying to make a point.

It doesn't really matter though. The fact it's an engineered talking point is just a bit silly.

That has nothing to do with the title, "Only Trump can..." Can do what?

I can agree to an extent about the general trend and I do think Rubio is virtue signaling here but at the same time that's part of a politician's job in a sense and I don't find it egregious in the slightest.

Dude should have smashed down some pancakes during the interview to really ram the point home imo.

How much time did you spend as a practicing catholic, as an adult?

Lentertainment. I’m stealing that.

^^^ Right here. This is the modern Left Cult in a nutshell.

Andy is offered a first hand account, but he won't watch that, he'll wait for Rachel Maddow or some other MSM clown to take an excerpt out of context, attack it, and then tell him what it all means.

You're a coward. Just like when Curry had to step up on a bet you instigated and were too weak to take.

Pancakes are on Tuesday, not Wednesday. The people who buy the virtue signalling in the first place would be very confused

Fair enough. I’ve only seen it in NYC when I worked in there. It’s not typical but I’ve definitely seen it before.

Gotta say, I don't remember politicians doing it. Even that uber progressive Boston Mayor was rocking it yesterday in the hearings.

 

[CantCucktheTuck]

The people who worry about what Jesus would do for illegal aliens don't know what Ash Wednesday is.

lol

Here it is proved true yet again that, “No one ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of the American public.”

I'm not giving Fox News any fucking clicks to help them monetize their content if I can help it. Similarly, I don't click for any of those other twats either.

I asked a really simple question. Since you elected to spew this irrelevant ad hominem rather than answer the question, I gather you're too stupid to answer it or you're a hypocrite who didn't watch the video either before commenting. Either way, it's pathetic.

And here I thought that all heroes wore capes...
