Well Trump is sitting pretty having secured his legacy and his many previous investors and the people who voted for him not so much so this analysis is pretty lopsided.

Funny. But the truth is actually worse. He knew and still stuck up for him. He knew why the security clearance was being held up and still included him in high profile activities. And it appears he might have seen photos and still tried to convince the guy not to resign.

He needs to go.   Now

I thought he was the one keeping all the kiddies in check. 

Ruh roh.

No, I agree. In any other Administration, he'd be a goner. But things work a little differently in the Trump White House.

Wife beater?  Does it even matter anymore?

Meanwhile, in the real world, we murdered 100 Syrians

It's now a prerequisite for the NFL.

Rand Paul is going to shut down the government by holding up the Senate budget deal. It's official now.

He just tweeted: "I'm asking for one amendment. It takes fifteen minutes."

He's against the big increases in spending.

Not anymore. The NFL changed their policy a few years ago.

I disagree with Rand Paul on almost everything except a few of his foreign policy positions.  I respect the guy for walking the walk.  

Now the GOP is going to destroy him.

Aside from his position on state rights, which I don't think makes him much of a libertarian despite what some may think (from what I understand, he doesn't claim to be one), he's also pretty good on Criminal Justice Reform.

And yeah, he's not a total hypocrite.

When Rand Paul took control of the Senate floor just before 6 p.m. Eastern, virtually every one of his Republican colleagues grimaced. Five years ago, they would have cheered him.

IMO, he was their best candidate in 2016. They completely ignored him. I still like him as he’s willing to stand up to his party for what he believes is right. 

[mtangelsfan]

He performed poorly in the republican debates.

Him and Kasich were good. But in today's Murica, if you're not an extreme, you probably don't stand a chance.

And yet Rand wasn’t all that worked up about deficits when he voted on the 1.5 trillion dollars in added debt as part of the no billionaires left behind tax cut.

He wants lower taxes and cuts in government spending. You know this Red. 

[Amazing Larry]

And I find it hilarious that you pretend to suddenly care about the deficit.

You're cute name for a tax cut isn't going to sway anyone when people like me saw a healthy bump in their paycheck. Hopefully there will be a spending cut in the next budget. One can dream.

I wonder if red ever had anything to say about Obama adding $10 trillion to the debt. Did we have a thread about that? I can't remember.

I'll take the projected $1.5 trillion added debt if the tax cuts produce greater economic growth and more tax revenues in the end.
