Violence and mob rule is wrong and un-American, and it will not bring about election reform.

Intelligent debate didn’t go far when his neighbor beat him up.

With radical leftists shutting down ALL debate about anything everywhere in the nation, where can you find an intelligent debate anywhere?

The “cancel culture” and the radical left academy shut down all debate years ago. There isn’t any.

Least of all in the “World’s Greatest Deliberative Body.”

Americans have only one contract with each other, the Constitution!

No Constitution = No Contract

No Contract = Anarchy

Thanks Senator Paul for your decision to side with the Anarchists.

WWG1WGA!

Yeah, lets debate for the three hundred thousandth time about the corrupt in D.C. criminally undermining, compromising and overthrowing this president and our electoral process.

Oh wait, lemme go get some warm tea so we can have yet another polite debate.

Just when I thought Rand Paul had integrity, he is just another spineless Republican looking out for himself.

News Flash!! There hasn’t been anything intelligent said in congress in decades. PERIOD.

The spineless republicans brought this on themselves, and the democrats taught those people just how to do it.

If there’s one thing today’s demonstrations/protests have accomplished, is buy the state’s another day to perhaps find their courage to use their Article II Constitutional rights to correct the fraudulent biden elector votes.

[[[[sets back any intelligent debate for a generation]]]

LOL, like they actually debate anything anymore. 2020 has been the year of mass censorship.

Rand Paul is wrong on this, one of the few times he is wrong.

How do you have intelligent debate with a party that has used BLM and Antifa as their brownshirts just like Hitler did?

How do you have intelligent debate with a party that has used massive vote fraud on a scale in the many millions?

How do you have intelligent debate with a party that has lied about you for 4 years, attacked your family and associates, impeached you unjustly, framed people that worked for you, incited violence against your party, all with the media in full accord?

How do you have intelligent debate with a party that used the forces of the FBI and the Judiciary against you illegally?

One can have intelligent debate with an honorable opponent which the democrat party once was. It is not an honorable opponent. It is he enemy of our Democratic Republic not democracy but Republic.

"If you go quietly in the night the bad ones will come for you in the night. " Alexander Solzhenitsyn said something very similar to this in his great writings, "The Gulag Archipelago."

"We love you Rand Paul, but you got this one wrong." When that insane progressive shot Steve Scalise and other Republicans at the Baseball practice honorable debate was not an option. A good man and woman with a gun stopped it. The cops stopped it! When your insane progressive neighbor attacked you there was no honorable debate. He hurt you bad. That is what the opposition is today. They attack us in the media, the courts, and their brownshirts (BLM Antifa) attack physically.

THE DEBATE IS OVER.

And in Congress it’s just grandstanding. Hearings where they never even ask a question.

You can include YouTube in that list.

I was a Premium member, but I was banned for schooling a libtard. YouTube claimed that my post was “bullying” when it was nowhere close to bullying.

I created another account, but I’m not paying them a dime.

Wow! Rand Paul, of all people, lamenting the death of intelligent debate. If anybody should be the last person to believe that intelligent debate was being had anywhere near Washington DC, it should be Rand Paul. I don’t always agree with him, but he’s made numerous very valid points through the years, and never got any traction from the other side ever. Well, here he is bemoaning the demise of whatever it is that he imagines in his head must have been the longtime proxy for this supposed intelligent debate he speaks of.

Unbelievable.

The rest of the Senate must be keeping Rand totally in the dark.

Where were the democrats when antifa was burning down the country last. I didn’t hear a lot of condemnation from them. In fact, they were all the outrage about calling in the national guard
