Zacklee!! Obviously something Senator Paul is not capable of accomplishing!
yep
Sigh. I understand. I just hate all of this.
I was listening to a podcast by the author of “White Girl Bleed A Lot” (Colin Flaherty) and he made the point (when referring to the media’s and most major politician’s conscious choice to, when seeing racially based black on white mob violence, completely act as if it is totally random, without explanation, or attribute it to youthful indiscretion) of asking:
Who is crazier: the racist scum laughingly and enthusiastically committing the violence, or the media, politicians and talking heads who have trained themselves to wonder about the randomness and inscrutability of the racist, violent nature of the crimes?
I look at Donald Trump and the media, politicians and talking heads who lambaste him, and ask myself the same question, in much the same way...who is more insane?
“He has no accomplishments”
========================================================TTrump has no accomplishments? He may be off the rails and a loose cannon or perhaps you don’t like who he’s donated to in the past or prior positions, but the man is a one man money making machine when it comes to business and real estate. He’s worth billions of dollars. He has, as far as I can tell, a happy, healthy, professional looking/sounding family with nobody on drugs, in jail, on the cover of tabloids, etc. How do you define accomplishments?
Paul and McConnell are joined at the hip.
Bad Dog!
BAD BAD DOG!!
Okay citizens you have officially be outed as insane. By Rand Paul.
How about loss of balls in government!? You GOP congress critters cow-tow to every dang thing the left wants!
We want a person with stones to rock DC!
Cruz is the man, but I’d settle for Trump to shake it up too!
What do you expect from somebody who endorsed Mitch McConnell in his last race.
Keep digging ...
Yea, we all know Obama’s presidency is perfectly sane and so is your father, right Rand?
Thanks Rand for calling 25% of the base ‘insane’. And I’m not even a big Trump fan, I’m for Cruz. But what is with the insults?
Love ya Rand but not a good comment.
If the election were Randy versus Bozo The Clown , Bozo would win in a landslide . Guy is wackadoodle just like his old man .
Rand was trying to attack the media, but Wolf tricked him into attacking GOP voters. And Wolf Blitzer is a moron. Not Paul’s best moment.
Well at least Rand Paul now freely admits he has lost his sanity! Why hasn’t he resigned yet?
Statements like Paul’s are the reason for Trump’s rise - conservatives are tired tired tired of being badmouthed by the left and maybe especially by their own - Trump finally is one who doesn’t let such comments get to him, neutralizes the attacks and ends up striking back in a matter that makes the attack shrink away - his rise is only because his approach is so refreshing and novel, and is temporary, but the likes of Paul only help keep him in the air that much longer.....
My pleasure!
“...talking heads who have trained themselves...”
I think it’s less insanity and more towards cowardice.
Grown men afraid of being called a word. Political correctness is designed to shut off debate and silence opposition. It only works when people agree to “behave” with it. And people behave accordingly, typically, because they have something to lose and they’re afraid of the consequences.
I think that’s why Trump resonates with folks. No one owns him, he knows, they know it, and his opposition knows it as well - so far, they have no Damocles’ sword to hang over him, and it’s making them froth.
We’re all put here for a reason; half the battle of our lives is spent learning that reason; the other half is (or should be) spent in the pursuit of achieving it. Some folks NEVER realize either of those.
Maybe Trump’s found his reason.
