What did he accomplish?

He’s a dick, and so are Republicans. Governing is a side job for these folks.

Mission accomplished.

And since when is this News? Rachel Maddow proved it years ago, and Paul lacks the personality or the intellect to change to any true degree.

It’s your money, conservatives, and Republicans are shoveling it to their donors as fast as they can.

Obviously, they’re not done.

Still to come… Donald’s multi-billion dollar wall that Mexico won’t be paying for.

Couldn’t help but think that since Nancy Pelosi got a headline - Rand Paul wanted to try to have some spotlight for himself.

This isn’t 3-D chess Randy is toying with, more like String Theory chess! Such mastery, such a master. They’ll be studying this in physics class for years, yes?

They probably want to give him a shove at the top of the Capitol steps

How long will it take the republican dolts in congress and the white house to realize that the stock market volatility can be laid directly on their doorsteps. The party of fiscal responsibility (what a joke), continues to give money back to their donors while at the same time adding on to the debt. SAD!

Democrats looking for an agenda should line up behind no more shutdowns. An automatic, 99 year continuing resolution should be combined with a permanently unlimited debt ceiling.

Well, the year of bipartisanship that the GOP was touting has gotten off to a good start. They got enough Dem votes to appear to be governing responsibly. By November a new normal will have been established.

Many who did quickly labeled it a pointless, head-scratching episode.


A characterization many would ascribe to 2017 AD.

There’s just one thing we need to understand: GOP engineered shutdowns: principled. Dem engineered shutdowns: obstructionist. Any questions? Watch the stable genius tweets to understand.

They’re probably all jealous of the neighbor who got to tackle him and break a couple of his ribs. I’m sure they understand the neighbor’s motivation.

Doubled the debt in less than a year and it still will only hold till March 22nd this year…

It is not Paul’s fault it is the duplicitous rethugs mcturdle and lyin ryan colluding with drumpf the cowardly dotard liar.

Bloody traitors…

Tucked away in the billl was a “Domestic Violence Mulligan” clause, granting spouse beaters and abusers a one time pass on White House security clearances despite past offenses.

Before all you ladies start bitching, keep in mind that applies to any of you that beat your husbands.

Hey, it happens.

Some people could not help noticing that Senator Rand Paul’s (R-KY) stunt relieves Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) of having to keep his promise to allow a DACA vote, “as long as the government remains open.”

I think Democrats in the House should have shut it down until Ryan promised an up-or-down vote. I believe that most voters would go along with “Give us a vote!”

"I didn’t come up here to be liked,” Paul said.

Mission Accomplished.
