How charming. I guess telling a Senator to "Get Fucked" was well within her right but honestly it just seems in poor taste.

It is a testament to the freedom we have here in America though isn't it? Could you imagine the horrors this woman would face if she did this in a country like Russia, China, Malaysia, North Korea, ect. The list of countries could really just go on and on and on but to keep it OT yes the look on his face was priceless.

Who doesn't want to get fucked?
 
You do have to think. Is Rand Paul doing what he does intentionally, or is it because he is currently in a helpless and desperate position. We all know Kentucky is not going to vote blue anytime soon. If Rand Paul is doing what he does for the later reason, it the would be understandable as him not wanting to face the same consequences as Liz Cheney did. After all, this his job and where he gets his salary from. Without it, he would end up having to report his salary on taxes as below the poverty line, and no one would be willing to help him get back above the line. He knows that even if be becomes a Democrat, he will not win. He knows if he supports the Democrats, he is putting his job on the line. He knows hekis most likely on the top ten list of possible VP picks for Trump's 2024 campaign. Why would he go for what is moral, when his greed for wealth, and the proximity of getting ultimate power in our current government is almost a grasp away from him?

You seem to think members of Congress make significantly more than they actually do.

If Rand Paul wants money he just needs to resign and go work for some lobbyist organization or some think tank and get himself some of that sweet wingnut welfare.

He potentially made more with his Ophthalmology practice than he does from his seat in congress. It's the perks and what will follow him retiring as you said...becoming a lobbyist himself and whatnot will pay higher.
