BREAKING: Senator Paul just OBJECTED TWICE to Senator Kennedy's proposals that would NOT PAY members of Congress during a shutdown.

Paul: "I don't want to pay LESS PEOPLE [during a shutdown], I want to pay MORE."

He wants to make a PERMANENT PAYDAY for his fellow CROOKS! UNREAL

Libertarian principles stop at his pocket, apparently.

What an as*hole. Pass this on Rand Fan.

I wonder who controls the congressional payouts… is that a function of the executive office?

I wonder if Trump could block congressional payouts… though I recall I think each house of Congress had their own bank.

S. 3057: Withhold Member Pay During Shutdowns Act

[mass55th]

Paul, Democrats block Kennedy effort to pay federal workers during shutdown, not Members of Congress

[nickcarraway]

That seems to say the opposite of what this article says?

[PhiloBedo]

Hypocrite

[mass55th]

That's not how I read it. The first paragraph says:

"Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) today attempted to pass three bills via unanimous consent that would have blocked pay to Members of Congress and restored pay to federal workers during the government shutdown on its 37th day. Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Patty Murray (D-Wash.) objected and blocked the bills from passing unanimously."

Rand Paul blocked Kennedy's Bill to withhold pay to Congress and blocked restoring pay to federal workers.

Did he explain why?

[Mr. K]

I understand the principles he is standing on, but there are bigger battles to to fight right now

[Hyman Roth]

Rand Paul is a fraud. No wonder his neighbor took a crowbar to his head

[Openurmind]

“Hmmm, can this be elaborated on? It sounds like a curated soundbite.”

It absolutely is! It has been dishonestly taken completely out of context! Dirty friggen pool there...

[EnquiringMind]

Jackass

"Did he explain why?"

Did who explain why?

[anton]

Man child Rand Paul shaking his rattle and throwing his baby bottle from his high chair. Where is that neighbor when he is needed.

[nickcarraway]

Paul.

[mass55th]

"Paul."

I have no clue, but I'm surprised he hasn't tripped over his feet to get to a TV camera to explain.
