Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) explains his rationale for blocking $40 billion Ukraine military aid package:

McCain – “The senator from Kentucky is now working for Vladimir Putin”
https://www.steynonline.com/7059/the-superbowl-of-superholes
“On the matter of McCain, in June 1998 the Senator stood up to address a Republican fundraising meeting: “You think that was a tasteless joke?” he began, referring to the previous speaker’s closing Viagra gag. “Listen to this one.” He then told the following side-splitter:”
If Rand Paul were transported back in time he’d likely make it into JFK’s book Profiles in Courage.
Just $4-trillion left to cut.

I have become a real fan of Palki Sharma. She communicates far better than the blondes on Fox and the alphabet channels. This woman should be reading the US Nightly News in prime time … not those pinup girls. She knows our culture better than we “white” people do.
Agree 100%, WION has become a daily stop in.
The whole world outside of the “western countries” knows our “culture/ system” better than we do. That’s why they want nothing to do with it socially, other than suck it dry of any wealth before we squander it away to others.
It’s the great looting of a broken empire.
I like this guy. I can’t help it, I don’t want to, but he is exactly right almost all of the time. I wish there were more of him in the senate.
Unlike his father, he doesn’t wander off into BIG L Libertarian la la land too often and ending up sounding like a complete loon. Instead, he articulates crucial elements of American Law and Culture. Yes, I have become a real fan of the ONLY man in Congress with the guts and the righteousness to call Fauxci a LIAR and a FRAUD. And Rand is actually a REAL Doctor.
His father is not in la la land, by any stretch of the imagination.
On 90% of the issues … I agree.
One? Only one? McCain was a shit stick. I don’t give a damn about his war experience. It’s how you go out that matters, and even then – meh. The RINO GOP and Dems have no idea what’s coming.
His “war experience”? Yes, Song Bird has spoken.
If I read it right, you mean pigeon, as in stool.
War experience ? Getting shot down, Eating rice and studying Mao.

Rand’s the man!!!
Yep – he’s an asshole.
SCARlett
put that mirror some place else, so you don’t see your likeness when you post. You have adequately proven to be an asshole over time. There is NO need to fund this proxie war, that the USA is waging against Russia. Now eff off!
Agreed.
‘This is no time to go wobbly’ ~ Margaret Thatcher.
He is. He’s just not your kind of asshole. He’s my kind of asshole.
Good for him. He cares about Americans.
The US should stay the fuk out of the mess altogether and withdraw from NATO as well.
Buddy.
Bang on.
Putin is aiming to eradicate the reams of NAZI’s in the Ukraine…Said NAZI’s aided and abetted since 1991 by US Interests and The Military Industrial complex Eisenhower warned us all about.
40 billion. For what..?? To enrich Biden’s Oligarch buddies…??
Meanwhile gas is nearing 5.50/gallon, Store shelves emptying…and the biggest issue for dems is the possibility of Roe V Wade being dumped….
I stand with Russians in this one….
Those opposed are basically supporting the complete Bullshit Narrative spewed by Govt & MSM.
I guess said folks are also Dying to get their 4th n 5th boosters too…??
“I stand with Russians in this one….”
That’s because you don’t know and refuse to learn what being subjugated by Siberian Subhuman Mongrels means to a civilized human. There is nothing more vile, northing more degrading. And nothing else matters in comparison. At one point your unwillingness to accept this becomes complicity in Pootin’s atrocities.
You are not only a vile person, but you are clearly not sane.
You’re standing with savages raping civilization. You’re among the lowest of lifeforms. I suspect you must have Siberian blood in you.
You’re foaming at the mouth. Get your rabies shots before its too late.
No reason to worry about rabies. I haven’t been bitten by a russian.
WEF fanboys hardest hit.
I am worried this may work out badly for Canada. Justin is always ready to virtue signal with our money. He will be wanting to take up the slack, just to show up the Americans on support for Ukraine.
Do you think that he will deplete baby supplies in this country?
Because he is big enough of an @$$hole to do it and Canadians are too stupid and weak to stop him.
So what was the total in ‘Pork Barrel funding’ included in the 40 Billion for Ukraine?
It seems that the figure is significant.
A generous contribution to Zelensky’s “retirement” fund, just for starters.
The Senator wants extra oversight over the money, because he knows damn well most of it will be stolen.
And end up in Demoncrap coffers.
Forty billion. That’s forty thousand stacks of one million dollars each for people who blithely talk in billions.
What’s a brazillion? GWB
Did any congressman oppose $9.7 billion in Lend-Lease aid for the Evil Empire during its imposition of Communism on Eastern Europe.
Formula for newly imported Demoncrap voters. The rest can go without. Makes perfect sense to a bureaucrat.
Tucker has a pretty good take on what Biden, Pelosi and the rest tried to do here:

$40 Billion makes me look like a very ordinary thief.
Hans good buddy! I knew you survived that fall!! No body no death is what i always say!!
And you will always be my fav thief!! Nothing ordinary about you!
Politicians on the other hand… Starting to really demonstrate that THEY are ordinary thieves…they do it all the time, and more and more, dont really seem to care how visible it is!!
Wheres John Maclean when you need him… 🙁
What the hell happened with Russia, anyway?
Even 10 years ago these politics would’ve been reversed in America.
The right hated Putin and Russia before and said let’s have the WW3 against them already.
And shouldn’t the left be bitterly against this like Iraq and Afghanistan? Why are they funding this unwinnable war over Russian oil?
Plus, no one in any news or commentary is talking about how it has become different now.
I feel like the old man who saw it all happen repeatedly in 1984.
Let’s not forget that 10%, or 4 Billion, goes to “the Big Guy.”
Rand Paul is simply asking for oversight on how the money is spent and the establishment pulls out all the stops by labelling him a Putin stooge.
Quite telling.
