He was at the gym and swimming in the goddamn pool when he knew he had tested positive? What is he, a fucking psychopath? What DOCTOR would dream of doing that? He’s nuts!

I wonder whether Jerry Moran has a Gym Jordan problem given that his primary recollection was that of seeing Rand Paul in the pool. Eww…

Lots of chlorine in the pool! It’s so crazy, it might just work!

Maybe that kills the virus and maybe it doesn’t. Not much chlorine on the machines, though, unless you put them in the pool too. This is not my idea of quarantine, just saying, when Typhoid Randy is literally swimming in the same pool.

I hope no Democrats were in that swimming pool.

Just kidding. I was imagining why someone might go to a pool when sick.

Pool is likely not chlorinated anyway. I think that they use other stuff now.

It’s said many politicians (and CEOs) are self-centered sociopaths. Absolutely no doubt in the case of Rand Paul, another Republican who rode his daddy’s coattails into a position of power.

I’ll give Mitt credit for refraining from calling him a selfish motherf*cker.

I’ve been to many operas in the wintertime with elderly people who have, I think, Ebola/tuberculosis/pneumonia disease. 3500 people, mostly older, breathing crap that people on stage are singing about and artistically dying from.

Perhaps the pool was filled with liquified Hydroxychloroquine with an Azithromycin chaser? I hear that stuff is the bomb from a disreputable source.

Seems like Romney has become the new media darling to constantly provide “concern”. Meanwhile, https://mobile.twitter.com/atrupar/status/1241813715076501509
Dems should distance themselves from rethugs.

This is why I gave up swimming laps for fun and exercise.

Rand, it’s Hippocratic, not Hypocritic.

Seriously. Who among us hasn’t been sick and gone to the medicine cabinet and taken a trail mix of dated-amoxicillin/Vicodin/birth control/Flintstone’s chewables/whatever and just said, “There! That should do it!”

Are any Democrats expressing worry about this or is it just ReThugs?

47% of the Senate, all of them Republicans, aren’t earning their pay, Mitt, and you’re one of them. Corporate-owned Senators are people, my friend, and if you don’t work, you don’t qualify for deferred compensation. Suck it up, Buttercup, just like the “illegals” you underpaid under the table when you lived here in Massachusetts, CHUMP.

Don’t forget the “morning after” pill or, with Republican leadership, perhaps should be called the “mourning after” pill.
