"I'm a US Senator and I'm saying something obvious, please do an article about me!!!"
Paul's (and his noxious friend Mike Lee's) faux-libertarianism has been barely a speed bump for this Presidency. So much for Small Government.
Guaranteed of someone was trying to give poor people free food rand would be on the warpath though
Rand Paul is a piece of shit who I hope one day takes a long walk off a piece of driftwood he thought was a pier.
But I hope he's right and this becomes a snowballing bigger issue for the administration.
This assumes the contents will not be worse for them.
Yeah exactly. The only reason they would choose to heavily react the files and refuse to release others is because the contents of those files is absolutely decision to Trump. Paul acts like they're just accidentally covering this up.
Right. He doesn't want to call Trump a pedo to his face for political reasons. But he's clearly pointing it out. Call it deceitful, call it politeness, your choice, we all understand the message.
Americans understanding subtext? That would require reading and not simply watching TV.
All of the leadership in the DOJ should be arrested. Including Miller if it can be shown he's involved in making decisions.
I mean he can barely see over the table, it's gonna be stretch to prove he could ever reach a pin to sign anything
Fucking children is a big mistake... For the administration.
If Trump took a knife and went on a stabbing spree in front of a crowd, would ANYTHING be done about it? Anything at all? Would he just be allowed to continue presidenting while headlines meekly tell us it may be illegal for presidents to stab people?
So long as he rationalizes it as "part of his official duties"? It doesn't even have to be coherent.
In that case, all but the most "radical leftists" in the media won't bother to protest. Everyone will keep their heads down, praying they aren't next. Until they are.
Meanwhile, the rest of us just abandon that machine for our own chaos of new media. No one under 50 will notice, except thru some react streamer.
Easy to say. It’s a performative statement when you only talk about it afterwords instead of demanding the files be released plaintext beforehand.
Both Thomas Massie and Rand Paul are terrible for all Americans but are getting this one issue correct.
Republicans should have never nominated Trump in the first place.
There's nothing the administration can do that will be bad for them, they are immune from any possible consequences for anything
