Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) hit the brakes Thursday on bipartisan hopes that the Senate could quickly pass nearly $40 billion in Ukraine aid before leaving town for the week. Paul objected to a deal offered by Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) that would have set up votes on Thursday afternoon on the funding and on an amendment from Paul, who wanted to include language in the bill to expand an Afghanistan inspector general role to include oversight of the Ukraine funds.


Thoughts on this GOPer being on Putin's side?

He stopped it?? YOu mean NO 40 Billion to UKRAINE???? AWESOME!!!!

 

[kyzr]

LIAR. Rand is on the taxpayers side not Putins.

Rand wants an IG's oversight, I agree.

 

[Calypso Jones]

Looks like he's stalled it. These freakin' traitors in the senate Rinos and Demo'rats will find a way around it. This will hurt our already suffering economy.

 

[Natural Citizen]

As usual, Rand is the responsible one out of the bunch. This is why we work so hard to get people like him elected.

 

[Calypso Jones]

We've given them enough. NO MORE.

Shove it up your warmonger ass....Rand is on Murica's side.

Best news in a very long time.

Rand's father is proud of him I'm sure.

$40B for some fucking shitpot while people here go without.

Fucking D.C. rats.

I'm sure dad will be crowing on his Liberty Report tomorrow.

No more proxy wars. If this is so important to the Democrats, let them all go to Ukraine and kill Russians.

Rand's dialogue....

''My oath of office is to the US Constitution, not to any foreign nation, and no matter how sympathetic the cause, my oath of office is to the national security of the United States of America. We cannot save Ukraine by dooming the US economy.''

“Americans are feeling the pain, and Congress seems intent on only adding to that pain by shoving more money out the door as fast as they can.”

“We should not forget that the Soviet Union collapsed in large part not because it was defeated militarily, but because it ran out of money...In an attempt to save Ukraine, will we doom the US to such a future?”

Paul... and Paul-ites... are famous for capitalizing on saving taxpayer money at the expense of strategic national interests. Foolhardy myopic isolationist thinking.

It’s also important to the Rs. Rand is the only one opposed.

Nothing is more bipartisan than funding for the war machine. Too bad so many Americans are unaware of this.

You clearly don't understand the nature of isolationism.

Yet this has zero national interest.

Paul... and Paul-ites... are famous for capitalizing on saving taxpayer money at the expense of strategic national interests. Foolhardy isolationist thinking.

Other than money laundering for Xiden, Piglosi, Kerry, Romney, et. al., there's absolutely zero national interest in Ukraine, let alone any strategic one.

How 'bout you load your narrow ass on an airliner and go fight for the corrupt stand-up comic?

 

[Natural Citizen]

It’s also important to the Rs. Rand is the only one opposed.

He's not an R.

He's just holding his nose.

Best RINO ever!

Well...next to Ron.

Which I suppose you already know. So I say this for the benefit of those who don't.

Doesn’t your article say mitch was mad?

anyhow, not supporting giving more billions, especially when we have our own humanitarian crisis on the southern border, doesn’t mean you are on putin’s side

You clearly don't understand the nature of isolationism.

His definition of isolationism is the one always used by statist loving warmongers. If the US isn’t at war, than that’s isolationism. Crazy!

You clearly don't understand the nature of isolationism.

It didn't work in the 19th Century... it didn't work in the early 20th... given todays connectivity and lightning fast transoceanic travel... it sure-as-hell won't work in the 21st.
