Rand says he will get to the bottom of why "the heck" Tulsi Gabbard was placed on a terror watch list.

He also knocks the CBO and asks have they heard of the Laffer curve?

But as a doctor, he went along with the CARES Act, that killed so many to create the illusion of a deadly pandemic—and never exposed the fraudulence of the pandemic.

He is against the waste, but he’s going to vote against the bill

Because it doesn’t do nearly enough.

If he’s going to vote against the big ugly bill, good for him!

I hope that he exposes what’s in it from a right-wing perspective!

It passed 96-0 and he didn’t vote because of his positive “Covid test”. But he didn’t raise any alarm, and those who did raise issue with it were concerned about some of the financial payments, not the killer protocols.

Rand Paul also pushed for remote voting, a clear violation of the Constitution (Art. 1, Sec. 5).

ChatGPT said:

In April 2020, he [Rand Paul] sought to add language to a Senate bill that would allow remote voting “if necessary,” but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell rejected it on the floor .
POLITICO

Senator Paul’s support for remote voting was influenced by the challenges posed by the pandemic. After testing positive for COVID-19 in March 2020, his diagnosis prompted further discussions about the feasibility of remote voting in Congress .
Roll Call

Therefore, while some members of Congress opposed proxy or remote voting, Senator Rand Paul advocated for it as a necessary adaptation during the public health crisis.

He also raised loads of money on his Fauci confrontations, which just furthered the fictional narrative—but even when Fauci was caught lying nothing came of it.

It is my understanding 6.5 trillion in revenue is expected from tariffs over the next 10 years.

So Rand's going to vote against the bill just like all of the democrats are going to vote against the bill, but 'his reason' is the bill doesn't 'do enough'? A difference that doesn't matter?.

Well, that'll make Rand the darling of Sunday Morning MSM talk shows... We can expect to see more of him on TV shows and quoted in the New York Times and Washington Post. Have you noticed those papers NEVER quote 'rogue' democrats trashing fellow democrats? Doesn't happen until the whole herd turns on em.

McCain always had reasons he voted with democrats too. McCain was a darling of the left wing press too - well, up until he decided to run for President, then the press dumped him.

"Rand says he will get to the bottom of why "the heck" Tulsi Gabbard was placed on a terror watch list."

LOL!! He sounds more like Lindsey Graham every day. I think Tulsi is a big enough girl, and in the perfect position to find that out on her own.

He chose not to vote at all. Kind of cowardly of him.

H.R. 748: Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act

Republiicans Rand Paul, John Thune, Mike Lee, and Mitt Romney didn't vote at all.

Boy, you’re a busy little sycophant today. But then, it must be tough to try to defend someone who has been in the senate forever and never accomplished anything but expelling hot air. I guarantee you this, if he and jhonson are successful in defeating this bill, this will be their last terms.
