Horses asses at least produce something useful. Rand Paul doesn't!

I volunteer at a horse rescue sanctuary. We have 58 four footed fur babies there and I'm heading over there now to love on them. It's the only thing that keeps me sane these days.

I would never compare Rand Paul to Arlo, or Empress Steele, or Frida, or Jewel.

it was obvious that Paul compromised himself on-air, live, and in living color.

But sadly, this means his zombie supporters have their talking points now and will regurgitate their love of Putin.

In fact, he could be the only R who votes against him in the end.

what happened should be the ANTITHESIS of what his adopted philosophy believes in. Yet he refuses to criticize the destructive rhetoric against the U.S. from its current President.

and/or he took money from them to run for re-election in 2016. I.e., Turtle had that big PAC for Senators and I think the NRA fed money into that PAC... and now we know now that Russia fed money to the NRA.

I don't think the spawn's father would actually have done this... As it is, he always had a core base of supporters who always gave him money... But the son was more sophisticated with his campaigning.

agents of the very wealthy to behave when they discovered they're cornered, their political world collapsing, and in danger of losing everything? Even if they could be reelected again, they weren't put in office this time to lose.

It's an ENTIRE party that is committing treason right now. It's not just a few bad apples, it's literally the entire Republican party who control the entire government and they're siding with Russia.

He's clearly compromised, as is (apparently) most of the GOP Congress.
