Rand Paul: 'No place' for feds 'rounding people up at will' in Portland

Rand is not as savvy as I had given him credit for. He is after all just another enabler. Pitiful

Love how they label torching, destroying, attacking, battering during civil insurrection as 'unrest'.

Handling open insurrection and direct attacks at Government would hand you a bullet in any communist ruled country, but these communist college fidiots need to get a free ride? Bullpuckey, build a gulag and throw them in like their heroes in the past did. They should feel like old home week.

Their leaders and benefactors would have had their heads on pikes at the onset. Round a few of those up like soros and son and stop the flow of revolutionary money and arms.

Not rounding people up at will at all rounding up feral dogs who put the public at risk and end the destruction of privet property.

[EnquiringMind]

Who cares what he says. Whether it’s in favor of the President or not, he is a jerk who lost his credibility long ago.

[JerseyDvl]

Rand is definitely prone to leftist gaslighting when it comes to certain subjects.

And when the post Biden president decides to drag away tea party protesters? Then what? Oh well.

I support using federal troops to protect federal buildings that "peaceful protestors" are trying to burn down.

But I am against using federal troops to pick up random people who aren't engaging in these illegal acts.

Rand getting ready to tweet.

They aren’t “dragging away protesters”. They are arresting people for breaking federal laws. Big difference.

Also, you make a very weak assumption that there will be a biden presidency.

>> What I love about Rand Paul is, he is very principled and consistent. He is the least political politician that I know. He will not bend for political expediency. I don’t agree with him on this one, but gotta admire his courage and consistency. <<

Yup, Rand was being so very principled and consistent when he endorsed Mitch McConnell over Tea Party challenger Matt Bevin. I'm sure the endorsement was not at all political, and totally consistent with Rand getting elected as "anti-establishment" candidate.

[Impy]

Not to undermine your argument but some problems with him aside McConnell has been a very effective leader and I certainly supported his renomination in 2014.

Bevin turned out to be a good Governor though, pity he was robbed.

[minnesota_bound]

Rand Paul supports terrorists.

[ptsal]

Too many of them rusted into a fixed position.

[JudgemAll]

Good points. Thanks for the info.

Inner daddy show I g up again .

Standing down probably leads to your next door neighbor beating you up.

If you are on FB, go to the Bundy Ranch page and watch it for yourself. I’m still in a state of disbelief

Mitch has been a pretty good Majority Leader actually confirming more Trump federal judges than almost any other president has in that period of time. Especially since he's had a pretty thin majority during that time, not to mention having to deal with anti Trumpers like Mitt Romney, Murkowski etc.
Not sure if Bevin would have done any better.
