Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) objected twice to Senator John Kennedy’s (R-LA) proposals that would have blocked members of Congress from receiving pay during the ongoing government shutdown, legislation Kennedy says is necessary to make lawmakers feel the same pain as the Americans affected by Washington’s dysfunction.
Paul, reserving the right to object, said the focus should be on re-opening government and paying those who are working, not punishing members of Congress.
Paul argued that withholding pay from lawmakers distracts from the larger problem of bureaucratic dysfunction and the unfair treatment of federal workers who are continuing their duties during the shutdown.

Pinged him......no response.....what a shocker
Paul, reserving the right to object, said the focus should be on re-opening government and paying those who are working, not punishing members of Congress. And the shit votes no on the CRs.
Paul is voting to continue the shutdown and to continue his pay. Kind of like a democrat, isn’t he?
And here I thought that Random Rand is principled. His loonatarian acolytes say he is.
I think all the chemicals seeping into his brain during his perms at the beauty parlor have addled his brain. Ditto for Massie.
“And here I thought that Random Rand is principled. His loonatarian acolytes say he is”
Yeah, right here on this forum......but I can’t get his biggest scophant to respond.
Why wear a Jheri Curl hairdo, unless a gun is pointed at you?
Funny thing is folks think Congress needs their pay and stopping it will harm them. Their pay is ‘tip money’ to them - they live off of the ‘perks’ of being an elected official.
Could be. They do have identical dos. Maybe even from the same salon in KY
As expected.
What? I can’t think of any reason for any financially secure conservative to object to this.
I can forsee Rand’s demise.
Lying in bed alone one winter, fireplace roaring, holding a snow globe.
He slowly lowers his left arm over the bed, the snow globe falling from his hand as he utters his final word with his dying breath...
FAUCI.
You’ve got that backwards (no surprise).
Its Fauci in prison holding the snow globe who utters RAND with his dying breath...and good riddance.
LOL
You just didn’t get it. Figures.
I get it...your a clown
Go back to worshipping Obama at DU
Boy, you really are daft. Not a great joke but clearly over your limited intelligence.
