A definite sign that the Republicans are hiring key positions on their high merit standards.
You can't fix stupid but you certainly can hand out merit badges.
His constituents know they’re going to be the ones who lose the most. He’s probably getting threats from them and from MAGA for not towing the line, What’s worse?
Those who are not opposed to him, are helping him...they support, bolster, and uplift him with their silence. And the news media "helps" more than individuals wearing a stupid red hat. Pressure should be put on them to tell the truth. If they cannot do that, find your news, like we do, elsewhere.
Except Rand Paul's not a "real Republican" so much as he's just "real weird" and "real creepy" and "real arrogant." In his way, he's nuttier than a MAGAt, and always has been.
Also, he's definitely not to be trusted. About anything.
Unfortunately, this is the game they play. Mcconnell, as you know, is the main culprit as he is the smartest in the room. Some form of this bill will pass, and it won't be good for us, whatever it is.
That's all we have is hope, but i won't hold my breath. If mitch says vote, yes, they will.Schumer has no control over the dems like mcconnell does. Schumer is useless and should have been gone a long time ago.
Randy Boy is bitching coz the Big PileOfShite Bill doesn't cut ENOUGH stuff from the disadvantaged. The Big PileOfShite Bill doesn't cut Medicaid or Food programmes enough in Randy's mind. So, let's not hope that Randy actually succeeds with his butchery of social programs.
He doesn't want to raise the debt but he still wants the tax cuts for the super rich. He wants to take more away from Americans so they don't have to raise the debt. Think about what that actually means. More Americans will absolutely die.
I agree 100%! Him being against the debt ceiling is not the positive spin people are thinking it is at all. He wants to cut everything even further. I'm surprised how few people seem to get that! 🤷♂️🤯
As a Kentuckian, I have been shaking my head at the fact that Senator Paul has become the Republican "voice of reason." I'm used to his sounding absolutely crazy! It's also ironic that Rep. Massie has voted against the Republican agenda, though his reasons are deplorable.
I feel that from Wisco with Ron Johnson also making the rounds as opposed at the moment. I don't buy that he found a spine, even with his stated reasons. But if someone bought him, and he's gonna be a thorn? Good, we need to stop this.
The difference between him and the MAGA harem is that Paul doesn’t fear taking Trump on over fiscal responsibility. Sure, it’s hypocritical BS, but a smart D senator would figure out a way to tap into that.
That House bill will not be the final bill. I expect a watered down bill, protects or extends the sunsetting of some clean energy provisions, keeps a portion of the EV credits, reduces the hit to Medicaid, removes the provisions about the judges and reduces the SALT deductions to pass the Senate.
RP voted to confirm Kash P., Dr. Brainworm, the ICE queen, and the drunk guy leading the US military who uses Signal to communicate top secret war plans.

He's a fuckin asshole

Tbh, I'm hoping the hard core conservatives who don't want the deficit to skyrocket will hold out...
The dissent within the GOP needs to spread like a wild fire. If Rand Paul can speak out like this, they all can.
Oh Really?
Prove It
Sure thing

He even said - the fascism parts of the bill he likes. Paraphrasing, but…
Still has a punchable face though.
And Rand Paul is center right...
You should know we're approaching revolution.
