Discussion: Rand Paul Airs Grievances For Festivus, Needles Trump's Inner Circle

Lets hope he hates Ted Cruz, too. Lets hope he does not like the imperious manner and expectations of obsequiousness that Donald Trump has for the entire population and the political structure.

Nothing worse than a conservative trying to be funny.

Ditto here. I live in BG and met him socially on several occasions before he ran for office [back when he was an actual libertarian: pro-choice, vocal legalization proponent, etc etc]. He has a weird sense of humor. Once at a Halloween party he showed up dressed at George Bush’s National Debt; All-red track suit with numbers in marker on the back and “National Debt = GWx2” or something like that on the front. It was dumb but he thought it was funny as hell.

Like a true politician he abandoned all the libertarian stuff Republicans don’t like, saying to a few of us “I would never get elected in this state if I told people I believed that stuff.”

Rand’s a clod.

well…I will say only one thing about the weed issue…It will happen, sooner or later, but don’t let that sway you in your thinking about Rand Paul, or McConnell…they are working against YOU…and then tell ya different…that is the GOP…we have no friends in the republican party…there are no moderates, there is one broke down maverick, a couple of unique old ladies, who can read the tea leaves…and Rand? sheesh…I don’t think I would put too much confidence in these folks, or the rest of the republican party…

Rand Paul’s actually been demonstrating a fairly well-developed sense of snark this while election cycle, like when he did the Q&A video podcast that included a question of ‘Are you still running?’ and replied with ‘Well, yeah, or I wouldn’t be standing out here doing this stupid crap, would I?’

He’s replying to each message with the next message, so that when you go to one, the rest are linked above/below.

Me, too! I’m sure that will change.

I’m wondering if that would be enough to make him vote against Sessions.

This is a completely silly story. Please don’t waste our time with the fact Rand Paul has watched Seinfeld and somehow believes he can be as pointed and funny as Jerry Schiller/Larry David. He can’t. None of these criticisms is even close to the bone. He rides all of the hypocrisies as hard as any of them. The rest is unimportant.

I imagine the theme of The Flintstones playing in the background. I put my head in my hands and sob for joy. We dodged a bullet! We could have been stuck with this guy.

At least Trump’s creative insanity will bring on Armageddon in an entertaining way.

Does Rand Paul actually know anything? Oh wait, he’s read the adolescent literature of Ayn Rand, thanks to his father who’s now selling gold for a living. Aiiiii! Father and son may actually be on to something. First, talk like an idiot and get yourself elected. Do a bunch of dumb things in Congress. Then go into business profiting from your political blunders.

Now Trump’s about to do the same thing, though on a much grander scale.

I’ve had it. This is the last straw. For crying out loud, I have no idea why the media wastes it’s time reporting twitter feeds, but if you really have to do this, could you PLEASE figure out a way to do it without telling me what the twits (is that the right word?) say, then printing them twice. It’s not new; it’s time to get a grip on this.

I’m fully aware of them as they are my Senators. I detest McConnell & have for over 30 years. Rand is a bit of a punk, but I’ll take him over McConnell any day.

He looks better that way…

No shortage of stuff to complain about, huh, Randy?

I’m not entertained. What is entertaining about the end of everything?
