Yep, make every public event an opportunity for partisan appeals, just like Trump. Maybe he needs to come up with a list of grievances, also.
Not at the disaster site. Biden could have said it on his walk back to the White House. Point out the country at times of need helps each other not the Rand Paul model.

Alternative is to ignore and Republicans yet again get away with it. Stop bringing marshmallows to a knife fight.

Never slowed down Trump. I'm being hyperbolic.

Ted Cruz and Conryn also voted against Hurricane Sandy aid as well, as well as other Texas lawmakers. They are all happy to take federal aid for hurricanes that hit Texas.

Republicans are rotten, we played nice for decades while they were shitty, and all we got out of that were fascists racists Trumpies. Fuck them all.

The whole truth spoken. I'm from New York Hudson Valley. The Republicans did just that. Then, when it was time for their reelection they snuck into New York and campaigned for money after they voted no to desperate aid that our state needed. I say fuck them too ...

I heard that people were chanting "Let's go Brandon" at him while he surveyed the damage. If that is confirmed I'd honestly be fine with gassing those specific people.

Don't want to do anything to then except not live in a country with them where they have any say in matters.

They are disgusting and have no redeeming qualities. Truly just pieces of shit.

Cut the South loose.

Of course not all of the Kentuckians here can or would have if they were in aforementioned shitbag's district...
He's a Senator. It's a statewide vote. Apparently, most voters of KY are really stupid enough to vote for this dirtbag.

Rand Paul is just an asshole. His goal here wasn't to add anything to the hearing on A Federal Perspective on the COVID-19 Response
other than to be a dick to Fauci. He wasn't even improvising. He had prepared notes and read from a fucking script.

If you live in Kentucky and Rand Paul reflects you and your values and you voted him, go fuck yourself. Your vote has helped turn the Senate into a bullshit shitshow.

Side note:
Senator Tuberville from Alabama - "I'm in rural Alabama and I test positive, what do I do?"
- Call your physician
Senator Tuberville from Alabama - "Lot of people don't have a physician, they have a drug store"

My question to Tuberville is "If you support free market and the physicians have decided to skip rural Alabama AND the market has decided that drug prices should be high, can you do me a favor and punch Rand Paul in the face?"


In another thread someone asked about stressfull jobs.
I can only imagine having a role where I'd have to waste time responding to some of the scripted political theater bullshit that high level public servants have to deal with.
The urge to punch people in the face....

Tuberville confused the local feed store for a drug store? Or are they synonymous in rural Alabama?

That hearing.. Wow. Republicans seem to care more about political posturing than any real covid mitigation. Someone put a chart about Covid deaths in 2020 vs. 2021. What's hilarious is that that chart actually proves the necessity of the lockdowns. We had more deaths in 2021 vs 2020 even with the vaccines and therapeutics and better understanding of the vaccine. Can anyone imagine what the numbers would have looked like with out the lockdowns in 2020?

That is just an annoying video to watch because he keeps talking over Fauci.

Why doesn't Fauci grow a pair and just tell him so shut the fuck up?
Not sure why my Sen. Patty Murray wouldn't let Fauci finish defending himself, which he was doing quite well as usual. Numb nuts might as well ask his neighbor for a rematch. Fn Asshole!

I think that when you know you are on Gods side you can make some compromises in acting virtuously in life. A few minor sins like selling your soul to the devil are OK if they serve the greater good. I mean, they also are just exactly what one needs also to serve the ego.

Here's the problem. Republican talking points will be that this is absolute proof that vaccines do jack shit. Biden's policies haven't helped America. The irony is lost on them that COVID is still a problem because of the jackass staring them in the face when they look in the vanity mirror.

KY must be a shithole, what with Mitch and Rand as its senators. I'm sure there are some OK people there but I could never tolerate a place that elects assholes like those two.

I lived there for a little over 5 years. My parting gift was helping get Beshear elected over Bevin. Beautiful state, ugly people.
