I wouldn’t blame Trump if he tackled Paul on the Senate floor.
“””””Rand please, while you are in office, please stop smoking marijuana.””””
Maybe he is on oxy after getting bitch slapped by his neighbor.
Sorry Rand...the fact is that Pres. Trump campaigned hard on the notion that the Iran deal was bad for the United States and he was going to try to get out of it.
Is Trump starting a war?
Not to be confused with a strong defense.
I wish he was this upset about the courts allowing schools to force parents to change the sex of their young children.
gRand Stand
He loves the spotlight.
Huh? I see no evidence Trump wants war with Iran. These nominees will do Trump’s bidding. That’s an assinine reason to block these candidates.
Trump didn’t support the Iraq war either, and brought it up during his campaign. But he also talked a lot about what a bad deal was made with Iran. Rand is infusing the two maybe.
Rand Paul voted against Pompeo for CIA head as well.
Rand Paul is dutifully upholding his principles, can’t fault him for that.
Trump is acting within a war context, using people as material in the chess sense. Putting insiders in titular positions is a way to blunt his opposition within the agencies. I have little doubt that both Pompeo and Haspel are under his thumb because of information he’s holding over them. Controlled opposition in the most direct sense.
War is a dirty business.
He certainly does.
Well, since Rand usually stands alone I guess this is good news for getting them confirmed
Apple falls not far from the tree.

In his speech this week in Pennsylvania, Trump brought up the Iraq war, and said it was maybe the worst foreign policy move in American history. He sad it was “like throwing a brick at a hornets nest”, causing chaos in the Middle East and leading to the waste of $7 trillion in us tax dollars.
That was Trump talking, not Rand Paul, and it was five days ago
Rand claims Pompeo still supports the Iraq War, and wants to follow it up with a war against Iran. Big that’s so, Rand is right to wonder about how that squares with Trumps stated positions
Who says that we're going to fight it? Kick it off and sell weapons to "our friends the Saudis". Let them burn their treasure and see if they can actually do some fighting rather than have some proxy do it for them.
“Bitch be trippin’! Fo’ real!”
Or was she pushed?
The alternative is to seek votes from Democrats who are not totally loony like Manchin.
Grandstand Rand just can’t control himself.
I guess he'll also filibuster against Marco's Bill to eliminate Daylight savings time - it's because that what he does.
The nut doesn't fall far from the tree. He and his father are lunatics!
