Been wondering where our Secretary of State, Rubio, was while our "deal" with Iran fell apart?

As the negotiations, led by Jaydee Vance, wo has literally no diplomatic experience, were collapsing last night, what was Rudio doing?

It's mind boggling. He was in Florida at a UFC fight. Enjoying himself like it was a typical Saturday night.
And you know who was with him? Trump.

I do admit that keeping trump away is for the best under any scenario, but my God. We are really in the twilight zone and the corporate media, which would be ALL OVER this if a Dem administration was involved, is busy sanewahing.

the media for their OBVIOUS AND GLARING double standards? Sure, that comes with risks. But it's getting to the point where their sanewashing and coddling of Rs could not get any worse.

He probably knew Iran negotiations would be a dud and let JD have it.

Unfortunately, his A-Team would be most other presidents' F-Troop. If they seriously thought they would reach even a basic agreement in such a short span of time, these fools are dumber than I thought. I think this was mainly for show. Either that or there is no one left in the State Department to offer proper advice to the President.
