Look none of us like this compromise by a bunch of RINOs who are compromised. They should have nuked the filibuster and started to fix the country.
Rand is just living up to his semi-official title of Republican Diva belting out another Aria.

IOW, traitor.

Rand Paul, attention whore , “LOOKIT ME! LOOKIT ME!”
So the GOOBS are taking us back to where we were the day before Trump took over in January. Turning the Treasury over to the pig-faced, illegal aliens. The Communist RATS have won again. The GOOBERS failed. We went through a year of BS for absolutely nothing. The RATS turned America over to failed, cowardly Socalist invaders. Taxpayers gotta feed the illegal alien SNAPPERS’ faces and pay for their health care. All the illegals who ran away from their own governments but stand in the streets of America burning the American flag and waving their own rags at us. The subhuman foreign invaders have turned the left half of America against the right half. United my butt.
Maybe he’ll switch parties.
I understand the anger at Paul but he raises a point that no one wants to deal with. We are driving ourselves to a level of debt that we won’t be able to pay back. The only solution will be Socialism - confiscating private property to pay the debt. That is how history solved massive debt. Or default.
What was given to the dims to get their vote?
Rand Paul’s “principles” are putting everyone trying to get a flight or actually flying in danger. And he’s disrupting thousands of Thanksgiving plans - just like Andy Cuomo did back during covid. You don’t want to be like Andy Cuomo.
Senate Votes 60-40 To Reopen Government 🚨One Republican, Kentucky’s Rand Paul, opposes the CR🚨
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
The so-called federal government shut down should never have happened with our constitutionally limited power federal government which has been pirated by corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties.
The only thing that should be jokingly interpreted as the main sign of a federal government shutdown is slow mail delivery.
Useless as tits on a bull.
That’s the Rand legacy.
No they didn’t vote to reopen the government. Details matter. This makes 3 misleading headlines on one page.
Why didn’t the Fan post this...?
