God this administration is gonna go off the rails before it ever gets going. Someone’s gonna flip on the others soon and I hope they air it all out. 😈😈

How do we pour gasoline on that dumpster fire?!? Let’s make ‘em fight like crazy!!

roadtrippingcat.bsky.social•94 days ago

Can we please not start rooting for Rand Paul. This is utter insanity 😂😂😂

aknowlesjr.bsky.social•94 days ago

American voters chose a party that won't fund the government or raise the debt ceiling without Democratic votes. Democrats need to play politics like Republicans and let the American voters see for what they voted. #FAFO

jesuswitch.bsky.social•94 days ago

If I remember correctly he was one of the only Republicans speaking out against the TT ban too

rickybei.bsky.social•94 days ago

Does anyone have proof of this? I can’t find any

fayemcqueen.bsky.social•94 days ago

The girls are fighting!!!

dangobear.bsky.social•90 days ago

Rand Paul, all he is saying is he doesn’t want to see the bloody deportations. He’s not saying he doesn’t want it to happen but he wants it done in silent, out of sight out of mind is the way he’s thinks. He no better than the people that want to make it a big spectacle.

winterlightstudios.bsky.social•94 days ago

Rand Paul is pretending that he grew a brain, you mean?

trumpisanazi.bsky.social•94 days ago

Well it'd be nice if they actually DID something instead of just acting like they kindly disagree

moviemadnessguy.bsky.social•94 days ago

Oh my get the popcorn 🍿 out

savethedaves.bsky.social•94 days ago

Rand Paul has a pretty solid history of speaking out against Republicans before voting along with them approximately 100% of the time.

amberjo2.bsky.social•94 days ago

ceejay81.bsky.social•94 days ago

Ugh Rand Paul sucks

doug-holst.bsky.social•94 days ago

Something tells me that Rand Paul will fully support RFK Jr. though.

lilliandcats.bsky.social•94 days ago

Rand Paul? Was. Normally, I can’t stand him!

jgiraffe.bsky.social•94 days ago

They will all fall in line. No one has morales.

djk1997.bsky.social•94 days ago

Thank the lord some republicans are standing up against him!

The dictators playbook says to make us disengage. We cannot do that! I’m in George

dawgmother.bsky.social•94 days ago

Didn't have Rand Paul on my BINGO card at all. ✊️

dead-cleopatra.bsky.social•94 days ago

To be fair, it is Rand Paul. Constitution> everything

lovemypupper.bsky.social•94 days ago

Oh really? Did he vote to impeach trump when he tried to overthrow the constitution?

sueishere.bsky.social•94 days ago

😁

prtucky1960.bsky.social•94 days ago

Rand Paul is trying to be the voice of reason in the Senate.... Now that's funny as hell.

tiredaphid.bsky.social•94 days ago

Agreed. Paul is such a disagreeable person.

javamav.bsky.social•94 days ago

They are only deflecting at this point. It’s a distraction game to turn your attention away from the Gaetz scandal that House MAGAs decided not to release in order to protect their most popular (alleged) pedophile.

seamlessjam.bsky.social•94 days ago

An old VCR flashing 1200 is right once a day

progressiveway.bsky.social•94 days ago

Keep them fighting.

redwooddesigns.bsky.social•94 days ago

Rand Paul is correct. I don't want military used, but I also don't want self stated sanctuary cities and states getting in the way of convicted criminals being deported.

tgligl.bsky.social•94 days ago

As the saying goes, "even the Senator from Kentucky who is now working for Vladimir Putin is right twice a day."

Or something like that.

Nice to see…finally

playirtz.bsky.social•94 days ago

He will sadly fall in line, his little outburst isn't strong enough to combat the cult

lovescoffee56.bsky.social•94 days ago

Republican party fractured between MAGA and normal Republicans. Not a good recipe for government.

waverun4.bsky.social•94 days ago

Not feeling it. Or maybe some aren't fearful of Daddy T anymore. They know he is out for good in 4 yrs. If he isn't removed b4 that. 25th amendment.

waynehedges.bsky.social•94 days ago

It will be a case of 'hoist by his own petard', if the small government conservatives end up blocking the MAGA movement.
But, the progressives need to just stand back, and make it known how they will vote. Then let the clown show happen.

angiesuniverse.bsky.social•94 days ago

They lack spine. They will not hold strong.

willsonc.bsky.social•94 days ago

It’s a show. He’ll bend the knee

power2thepeople.bsky.social•94 days ago

We’ll see how long that bravado lasts. They’re puffing out their chests now, but once he takes office, disagreements will quickly turn into cowardly submission.

sakuraskies.bsky.social•94 days ago

chernynkaya.bsky.social•94 days ago

That’s good but as I’m sure you know, Rand is a Russian asset big time.

jimbluesdad.bsky.social•94 days ago

Rand Paul has finally come down on the right side of something?

edmondmom.bsky.social•94 days ago

Never thought I would see the day that I'd agree with anything he said.

annermclean.bsky.social•94 days ago

Let's see how long the outrage from any Republicans lasts.

007girl.bsky.social•94 days ago

Don’t get excited , the spineless pussies will fall in line , they always do

monicamowdy.bsky.social•94 days ago

Did not having agreeing with Rand Paul on my 2024 Bingo card.

stormbrew.bsky.social•94 days ago

Love it

awbennerjr.bsky.social•94 days ago

Never thought I’d be surprised by anything Rand Paul did…. It this makes me happy. He’s still a jackass, but at least he’s sticking up for people now.

mostlyharmless2.bsky.social•94 days ago

Good!

darnitall.bsky.social•94 days ago

Good!!!

kkfordemocracy.bsky.social•94 days ago

He is a traitor and should have slammed Trump for thousands of other things

inquiringmines.bsky.social•94 days ago

og-paka.bsky.social•94 days ago

It’s all an act.

dogmaticslumbers.bsky.social•94 days ago

Damn! Rand said that? Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit!

sdj789.bsky.social•94 days ago

Love it and they will fight 4 years everyday

megcrafton.bsky.social•94 days ago

I'm surprised he cares

suebud96.bsky.social•94 days ago

They say this now, but then they suck up to the orange guy.

danielledelight.bsky.social•94 days ago

It's so weird to be on the same side as Rand Paul

tiredaphid.bsky.social•94 days ago

Bizarre & absurd. I don't trust the guy.

danielledelight.bsky.social•94 days ago

Same, I don't like it here

noventurenogain.bsky.social•94 days ago

Be serious…they’ll all fall in line 100%.

momike11.bsky.social•94 days ago

This is just show. Paul is looking for something. Once he gets it, he’ll be quiet

enchantedbeauty.bsky.social•94 days ago

A big fat White House administration position.

justagirl75.bsky.social•94 days ago

At least some of them are calling his plans out. We all know it won’t last

magapainteater.bsky.social•94 days ago

Rand just complains but will always fall in line when it comes to vote

breeinthedesert.bsky.social•94 days ago

Rand Paul? Rand Paul from Kentucky?

tiredaphid.bsky.social•94 days ago

Yeah. Putin's buddy.

hobbitfeet42.bsky.social•94 days ago

Donnys gonna send that kid with the lawn mower over to have a chat.

elduder3no.bsky.social•94 days ago

Don’t worry, he will fall in line like the rest of the GOP.

loriva.bsky.social•94 days ago

Rand Paul must be getting heckled from his constituents. Didn’t realize he would be helping us out with disruption.😀

geraldlohnas.bsky.social•94 days ago

No matter how hard you try, I will never like Russian Rand. 🤣

bigskys.bsky.social•94 days ago

He will bow down soon. They all do. It’s nauseating.

pclong.bsky.social•94 days ago

They are eating themselves alive, uncooked

welovesports.bsky.social•94 days ago

MAGA needs to implode from the inside. Voters made the clear, unfortunately

mjgawark.bsky.social•94 days ago

I think it will

welovesports.bsky.social•94 days ago

From your mouth to God’s ears, I hope 🤞

slaii.bsky.social•94 days ago

Can you guys stop telling us about Trump and start telling us how we will win in 2026 for GODS SAKES !!!!!

realfuckassbob.bsky.social•94 days ago

It's gonna be a long 4 years. 😮‍💨

corgislave.bsky.social•94 days ago

All it’s going to take is one of them “falling out a window” and they’ll line up

idoubtit.bsky.social•94 days ago

Republicans are saying things. That’s all.

skigurl.bsky.social•94 days ago

When you have lost Rand Paul you know you are in trouble.

kzcomments.bsky.social•94 days ago

For show for his base...now that republicans are listening

stephenrodney.bsky.social•94 days ago

I bet 1 dollar they will ok with in 2-3 months...the sad part is how many have to die (AKA Kent State) before everyone fights back?

flanman22.bsky.social•94 days ago

It’s all show. When it starts happening hell clam right up and allow it to happen

flanman22.bsky.social•94 days ago

He’ll

rob-erta.bsky.social•94 days ago

Wait… Rand Paul just made me SMILE…?!!

pamela72558.bsky.social•94 days ago

He's never getting sworn in. This is not over.

grayner.bsky.social•94 days ago

They always make their little statements but in the end comply with everything they want.

velvetllama.bsky.social•94 days ago

Yeah, based on it looks bad on us. Too late Rand ou were complicit in this. Im sure he wouldnt mind middle of the night deportation schemes.

jctheclub.bsky.social•94 days ago

Let’s see! They are all corrupt liars!!!

bbresists.bsky.social•94 days ago

They will bow to their fuhrer soon enough!

badassmeximama.bsky.social•94 days ago

Never trust any Republican

missie1201.bsky.social•94 days ago

They are always fighting but ultimately they all stick together and fall in line. I don’t trust anything about the whole lot of them.

debsdemocracytour.bsky.social•94 days ago

He will cave. He just wants the record to show he tried. One of the worst.

wunderkammer1.bsky.social•94 days ago

Pretty wild coming from a$$ kissing Paul.

alegre1.bsky.social•94 days ago

Well, well, well … senator Old Toothbrush Head has finally done one good thing. I wouldn’t lay any bet that he won’t roll over to kiss the ring though.

metalman1230.bsky.social•94 days ago

Who cares. Boring. People are exhausted with this show.

mountainmomma31.bsky.social•94 days ago

Wonderful!

alpich.bsky.social•94 days ago

I don’t like being on the same side as Rand Paul.

trashiepanda.bsky.social•94 days ago

Libertarians have a couple of good ideas, he's really not their guy either.

daydrmblvr.bsky.social•94 days ago

He'll cave. They always do.

lauremiller.bsky.social•93 days ago

Rand Paul is a bucket of tripe. All Republiscum are, and even when they somehow get something correct, they remain absolutely useless.

dria7321.bsky.social•94 days ago

Found u from the tok
Keep up the great info

billkoechling.bsky.social•94 days ago

If he is allowed to use the military for this he can use it for his own other purposes as well. That's a really dark premise.

libertyisntfree.bsky.social•94 days ago

Trump forgets that Senators don't need him, they're in office for 6 years once elected.

These are the ones that will stand by him because they're up for reelection in 2026. Get your 🍿 y'all...

claudelemieux.bsky.social•94 days ago

He’ll be the first one to kiss the ring on 1/20

celestialclockwork.bsky.social•94 days ago

I wish I actually believed anyone in the MAGA GOP was fighting for democracy and all it represents.

kattagee.bsky.social•94 days ago

The evidence suggests the opposite

tiredaphid.bsky.social•94 days ago

Exactly. Senator McCain warned us that Rand Paul is a Russian asset taking orders from Putin.

Rand Paul has been against helping Ukraine & opposes Ukraine entering NATO.

lauremiller.bsky.social•93 days ago

McCain consistently voted against veterans and active duty military. He also inflicted Sarah Palin on us.

I was and remain firmly on Team Glioblastoma. Fuck that guy.

annettede.bsky.social•94 days ago

We can only hope that they keep on fighting …

angelaswartz3.bsky.social•94 days ago

He'll back down, just like the rest of them, unfortunately.

basketcase4ever99.bsky.social•94 days ago

Guess they should’ve done the right thing instead of letting him run. They could’ve passed legislation in those four years stating people that are felons, tax cheats, insurrectionists, rapists, etc can’t run, but no. They will always be on the wrong side of history no matter what they do now.

oldmanteeps.bsky.social•94 days ago

Tho, he may be trying to do the right thing now, the real question is why? Rand is a trump toady to the nth degree. I do not trust that creature at all.

tiredaphid.bsky.social•94 days ago

Maybe Trump wants to back paddle on some of his tough guy campaign talk. So Rand is testing the waters for him.

stopthenra.bsky.social•94 days ago

How many of them secretly wish that Harris actually won? I think they'd be much happier complaining about the Harris/Walz administration on #FauxNews than actually trying to govern with that ridiculous, angry game show host.

serenity5.bsky.social•94 days ago

I believe this!!!!!

notthatonegirl.bsky.social•94 days ago

moonct808.bsky.social•94 days ago

How long will it last tho. They seem to have no backbone when it comes to him

stadler91.bsky.social•94 days ago

Starting to see some buyers' remorse on the right.

calcoastgal.bsky.social•94 days ago

Never ever thought I'd agree with Senator Paul.

hellomyfriends24.bsky.social•94 days ago

My prediction he wants something in return

kattagee.bsky.social•94 days ago

Wow ! It MUST be unthinkable for such a one as Rand Paul to disagree with it.
Here's hoping some light may filter into the darkness

cedarwing.bsky.social•93 days ago

I trust Rand Paul about as far as his neighbor can throw him.

robeich.bsky.social•94 days ago

Seems on brand for Paul.

katsabrat1.bsky.social•94 days ago

F that, they didnt bother to fight on Election Day. They need to do better than this.

smartycat24.bsky.social•94 days ago

I don’t care what they SAY. I’m more interested in the what they actually DO. If history is any indication, they’ll “fight” until the last moment when they’ll flop over and present their sordid underbelly in submission.

greengusso.bsky.social•94 days ago

I'm ready to donate to his reelection campaign!

copleysmom.bsky.social•94 days ago

elwaysdad.bsky.social•94 days ago

Paul is the LAST ONE who will actually put up any kind of fight when the chips are down.

Putin owns him.

georgeessick.bsky.social•94 days ago

We should temper happiness about disfunction in the Republican Party. That disfunction is the point and the plan. It will be used to show that government is broken and not worth saving. The soapbox opposition is performance. It serves no purpose other than to distract and claim innocence afterwards.

tiredaphid.bsky.social•94 days ago

If this is true & isn't retracted after a phone call from Trump, then Rand Paul has surprised me. An unexpected hero? Who knows. 🤷🏼‍♀️

cmdenton47.bsky.social•94 days ago

Nobody likes Rand Paul, a bad neighbor.

defchefman.bsky.social•94 days ago

Republicans: The Party of Chaos

kkent58.bsky.social•94 days ago

We’ve been here before.
The Republican’s are not fighting. They will come out with their disapproval for the cameras. Then vote for Trump to use the military against the American public.
Paul has probably already bought his stock in the private prison industry and eagerly waiting is payday.

djcwisdom.bsky.social•94 days ago

FAFO 🤷‍♀️

dykecrone.bsky.social•94 days ago

1bluedonkey.bsky.social•94 days ago

Rand Paul though…not a convincing choice. Time will tell.

suurrrah.bsky.social•94 days ago

I don’t think they will do anything to stop him though.

julianwayne.bsky.social•94 days ago

ccgene.bsky.social•94 days ago

Let’s see if they continue to fight or roll over like they typically do.

morehouse210.bsky.social•94 days ago

Oh the infighting is going to be 10 times as bad this go round.

jtinfl.bsky.social•94 days ago

They’ll do in the senate what they did in the House

stevijoe.bsky.social•94 days ago

First deportation of one group, then the next, and sooner or later, they will stick the 2nd Amendment in a deep, dark place "for safety's sake." I will not say,"I told you so," because you'll have it figured out for yourself by then.

Get ready for constant drama

femphoenix.bsky.social•94 days ago

We need to back up the republicans that are willing to stand up againstWe need to back up the Republicans that are willing to stand up against Mango Mussolini's attempt to make our military his personal SS Strike Force. They are sticking out their necks for what is right, & are far braver than many.

chetcago.bsky.social•94 days ago

Trump is a lame duck president. Some in the GOP may be out for blood.

jtinfl.bsky.social•94 days ago

I believe the opposite of anything they say

lizbeth1984.bsky.social•94 days ago

As a Kentuckian who follows what he votes for and says closely, everyone needs to calm down about ol’ Paul. He is, and always will be, a MAGAT to his core. He’s playing a game here…so he can later (when this truly blows up) save some face somehow …

mikeofseattle.bsky.social•94 days ago

He’ll eventually acquiesce to Trump after his performative resistance. We’ve seen this show over and over.

dutchrudder.bsky.social•94 days ago

They only appear to fight. They will all bend the knee eventually. Grab your popcorn!

sp4zsquatch.bsky.social•94 days ago

Well, Republicans also just refused to release the Gaetz report, so we have to stop taking these people at their word...

mysteriousletter.bsky.social•94 days ago

It’s good. Republicans need to take him on. They’ve relied on Democrats to fight their battles for them.

It's too damn late the gates are open and the enemy is in the castle. The guards opened the gates. trump 🇷🇺 told everyone who he was.

coylemj.bsky.social•94 days ago

To call your bluff: why don't you replace 'Breaking' as a prefix to your posts with 'I'm the first to report this'. Getting totally peed off with that prefix.
