The Congress wasted about FOUR TRILLION DOLLARS in less than a year with the Kung Flu BS.

Now a Presidential Election has bee stolen in broad daylight.

Rand is wasting his time talking about pocket change.

I’ve had one of those for years...
It’s top secret so I have it set up in the corner of my shop out of sight of the bureaucrats and politicians.
It’s a 1978 Kilgore.
You push the little lever on the left side, and it’s “smart” enough to take down even a full-size, all-American male turd....every single time. Pretty cool.

“Each user of the toilet is identified through their fingerprint and the distinctive features of their anoderm, and the data are securely stored and analysed in an encrypted cloud server,” the abstract noted.

I guess we knew we'd get the Toilet Safety Administration eventually:

I like Rand Paul, but I had the same feeling

The country suffered an attempted coup from the CIA/FBI, and when that didn’t work, a 3rd world style fraudulent election was conducted.

I’d say we have bigger problems than mere government waste.

A Ferguson says, 'I'm a toilet. Sit down and give me your best shot'."

Post-17th Amendment senators are unsurprisingly clueless that the feds don’t have the express constitutional authority to tax and spend for “smart toilets” and a whole lot of other things.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

So if you park on the throne not designated for you, do you get a shock?

Sounds like a prelude to SEGREGATED TOILETS and water fountains again????

Like the man said...the most intriguing invention was the thermos...

It keeps hot hot and cold cold....

HOW DO IT KNOW??

“the notion of an anal print was first thought of by artist Salvador Dali, who found that “the anus has 35 or 37 creases, which are as unique as fingerprints.””

Gotta feel sorry for that camera in the toilet looking up.

Rand’s list of wasteful spending is almost as much fun as the Darwin list......
