Right now America has far bigger problems than the fact that Republican Senator Marco Rubio is a complete idiot. Come to think of it, he’s not even the biggest idiot in the Republican Senate. But wow is this guy ever having a bad day, and he just found a way to make it even worse for himself.

This morning Marco Rubio posted a tweet insisting that the United States is not headed toward “Marshall Law.” That’s right, the guy is trying to shoot down a conspiracy theory while demonstrating that he has no idea how to spell, and no willingness to have anyone in his vast Senate staff help him out.

That’s right, he’s now referring to it as “marital law” instead of “martial law.” Is he being just this careless, or is he trying to be funny on purpose? Either way it’s the latest evidence, in a long string of evidence, that Marco Rubio simply lacks the brain cells and the gravitas to be a Senator – particularly in a time of crisis.
