Not surprised that you admire Putin's puppets.
RAND PAUL IS TRUMP’S PERFECT RUSSIA STOOGE
The Senate’s resident wacko bird finds a new political family that shares his curious affinity for Moscow.
The unlikely, unholy alliance between Rand Paul and Donald Trump, one a libertarian iconoclast, the other the cancerous center of the Republican party, has cemented itself in golf games and frequent phone calls. “They’ll talk on the phone and Trump will go on about Bedminster and golf and whatever else is going on; and Rand will drop in his libertarian ideas,” a source close to Trump recently told Axios. “And Trump will laugh and say, ‘This guy’s crazy’ . . . They won’t even argue. He’ll let him speak his mind.”
Their friendship has manifested in a number of ways,
including in Paul’s periodic abandonment of his principles to vote however Trump needs him to, and Trump’s apparent willingness to take Paul’s questionable advice. But while Trump’s affinity for Paul may, on some level, have been predictable—after all, they both love to needle Mitch McConnell—their friendship has recently veered in a less likely direction,
as Paul comes to Trump’s defense on all matters Russia.
