I understand Paul’s schtick. I’m a Kentuckian and agree with a lot of his oddball positions, but he crossed a line on this one. There is a pretty strong Christian presence in our state. I’m one of them. I like Ecclesiastes. There is a time for war and a time for peace. I don’t think Rand gets that. Not that we went to war, but anyone that understands the concept of negotiation and risk, understands that a president has to sometimes risk war or you let the other side walk all over us.
What the president did was prudent. Frankly, it reminded me of what happened to Yamamoto. It’s nice to have an adult in the White House. They seem to be a rare commodity in DC.
Absolutely agree
Agreed.
Rand Paul is often a strong voice promoting President Trump’s policies and can be a dissident voice that enriches the conversation but his inability to see the big picture on Iran wasn’t helpful. Made him look loopy.
No surprise about Lee who is a very prideful, hypocritical man. He puts donor interests above the American people and is consistently working for K Street. Lee is one who gets worse the more I see of him.
I don’t think Rand Paul’s issue is with killing Solemani...it’s the bigger question about War Powers and where is the line when the President can act unilaterally or where Congress gets to say? Frankly, I’m glad there are those in Congress who question this. Congress has abdicated their role greatly in this and really has no one to blame but themselves. We are supportive of Trump’s actions, yes, but what if Trump wasn’t President? What if it was someone else (Hillary, a Bush, or some other Neocon) who wanted to take us into another nation building war costing billions or trillions and thousands of American lives with no end strategy? No thank you. Going to war is supposed to be debated by Congress...otherwise why do we put them there?
Well Rand internalized some of the disgusting crap his father spouted.
The chip didn’t fall to far from the bull.
