I wish her the best of luck. Unfortunately she’s in a district that leaves her no chance. She’d be better off pretending to be a Democrat and trying to win a primary, then do a 180 after the election. Those people are only voting for a letter anyway.

Steve Scalise says Republicans had disagreements with President Obama but that they "never disrespected the office" of the presidency.

A man shouted "You lie!" at Obama *while he was in the middle of addressing Congress*.

let me add, the "man" was a Congressman from SC.
who was in fact invited to the White House the next day for basketball and conversation.

BREAKING:
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has blocked an attempt to pass an extension of the

September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, pointing to the country's growing

debt and arguing that any new spending should be offset by cuts to other spending.

NOTE: Rand Paul voted for a $1 trillion tax cut

for corporations without any spending offsets

Remind me again the noblesse of father and son Paul !!
 
Rand Paul is a deficit hawk when voting against support for 9/11 victims.

Rand Paul is a spendthrift when voting for billionaire and corporate welfare.

Fiscal conservatism is a myth, an excuse to tighten the purse strings when it’s time to help everyday folks.

Your basement being 10 ft under water speaks to --- a disaster area.
You just applauded a Senator for squashing paying a bill owed first responders.
And not just any first responders

Yes, the insurance will reluctantly pay for the damage to your house. (personal experience) but,
Who are you counting on risking their lives to get you back to safety .

Rand Paul is a dick
This week alone, and it is only Wednesday, you have defended (or at the very least took the side of) a liar, cheat , racist misogynistic despot wannabe and ... a guy that gets in a fight with his neighbors about keeping his grass cut and trash picked up.

Grasshopper, you got a rough road ahead

REMINDER:

Kentucky, whose voters have given us both Mitch McConnell & Rand Paul,

is the state second-most-dependent upon federal dollars, the majority

of which come from blue states such as New York.

But please, Rand, tell us more about how we

can't afford to help 9/11 victims.

This is kinda like you jumping on Warren for saying we live in a democracy. It’s a silly and obtuse pedantic point (and so stereotypical that it’s a meme): aCtUaLly it’s a rEpubLic. Well, no ****. A constitutional republic whose representatives are democratically elected. So, likewise, the Fed Reserve board is not elected, but appointed by the executive branch, subject to confirmation by the Senate. So what’s wrong with that formulation, exactly?

I laugh when you complain about someone making a pedantic point.

But I'm betting AOC doesn't know what the federal reserve is

I get that you think that AOC is, like, actually stupid. That take is purely explained by the media you consume. Garbage in, garbage out. “Betting” that says a lot about you, frankly. Whatever you think of her politics, her work in hearings shows a lot more capacity than you’re willing to admit, for obvious reasons.
