Bingo.
I can certainly back him on this.
This is one of the areas he’s good in.

Good for him, but the ruling class republicans appear to be onboard with the slave master demonrats on destroying this country and the world

Stop being a wuss, Rand. Just say “Ukraine is not the US. I represent the US, and we have many needs.”. Why do we need to kowtow to the idiots with the Blue and Gold flags in their social media accounts? I guess I should be grateful their is one rep out of 535 congressmen who care about America first.

It doesn’t matter what he says, but what he did. We don’t shoot people down after they’ve done the right thing just because they haven’t done it our way.

Good, The Federal Gov throws around “billions” like it is toilet paper. Blocking this saves paying $40,000 for a million tax payers.

I support Ukraine’s right to defence BUT this bill is all wrong. An audit is needed and made public.

Senator Paul might be concerned about the portion of the money going through Samantha Power's USAID heading straight to the laundromat.
Not sure why anyone would be concered about that.....
To: rrrod
Rand is asking for a special Inspector General and they turned him down so he blocked it

You do understand it’s only a temporary delay, right? The bill will still most likely pass in a week.

That assumes we aren’t printing money like toilet paper.
God Bless Rand Paul. Too bad so few of our “representatives” do their jobs.

He’s a pain in the ass. However, he is absolutely right to defend the Constitution and vote his conscience. I respect that.
