I hate violence and don't advocate it, but can anyone blame Rand Paul's neighbor....

....for beating the crap out of him?

He's now on the floor of the Senate once again, like the republicans have been doing, comparing the thousands of people who swarmed into the Capitol with that one lone wolf years ago who shot Steve Scalise and several others. "Did Bernie Sanders incite him?" What a ridiculous comparison. Sanders didn't tell that one person just 10-15 minutes earlier "go break up that baseball game."

I'm sick of it. They're so blind and hateful.

Which at that point the neighbor knows Paul is doing just to fuck with him.

Does he think he’s so clever to swoop in when Cruz and Hawley misplayed their hand?
Does Rand really think that getting anywhere near Trump is a good idea?
