American Politics I: It's All Applesauce

[Atheris]

And Trump has vetoed the military spending bill. Congress now gets to overturn his veto

Which bill?

[Farnhamia]

And Trump has vetoed the military spending bill. Congress now gets to overturn his veto

Which bill?

The National Defense Authorization Act, the one that renames bases and does not repeal Section 230.

And Trump has vetoed the military spending bill. Congress now gets to overturn his veto

Linky for posterity

Rand Paul hopes Trump vetoes the COVID bill because "Most working Americans don’t need a check right now.”

I'm sure Rand Paul, a senator, would know what working class Americans need.

I'm ashamed I ever liked him at all. Paul is a bootlicker and a free market extremist that doesn't deserve to even be a community organizer, let alone a senator.

Many would say the same about AOC. I know I do.

That said, Rand Paul isn't exactly a quality senator. Putting it mildly.

AOC at least understands the experience of poverty, unlike some millionaire and billionaire politicians who repeatedly bash welfare and other public spending.

If we are bashing Paul, why do we need to bring up AOC?

Eh, just a fair balance. Equilibrium.

I regularly bash political and social figures on both spectrums. Ask me about Chris Christi or Mitt Romney.

Not like that was a secret. Rand Paul sucks ass as a senator. Always has. He’s an asshat.

Idk about AOC. She supports policies I support but then does stuff that makes me cringe.

Rand Paul is somehow both an Uber rightlib and authoritarian apologist at the same time. Quantum politics.

Aren't most american "Libertarians"?

Libertarianism doesn't actually kick in until your next worth is above a certain amount. Below that, you're just a wagie and don't get rights.

He's definitely one of those politicians that wouldn't be there if it weren't for his father.

I loathe her mostly because she's the type of leftist that's all about policing everyone and because in the past she's proven she's sadly uninformed on many things and has made herself look like a tool on several occasions. I mean she has even trademarked herself as "the boss". She's shaded light tones of threats against those who speak out against her a time or two. She literally drips of generational entitlement and peevishness. The left mind you I will say has many respectable and convincing people, but she's like the Gavin McInnes of the left.

That fellow is like a pendulum, he swings. Find a base, sir (Rand Paul).

She isn't though? I'm not even sure why you brought her up?

Why does anyone get brought up here? This is an open discussion thread.

The worst kind.

We were specifically talking about Paul, you randomly bringing up AOC has no connection to what was being discussed.

1.Rand Paul was mentioned.

2.Someone took a jab at RP. I responded with a casual jab at AOC and also included my own dislike of him. Many here do that. My casual jab as I said was to balance, bring equilibrium. And voice my own casual opinion.

3. The Borderlands of Rojava quoted me on her and I responded to his own input.

I do apologize though if my criticism of a leftwing poster child bothers or makes you quizzical. Me can move on, if you wish.

I'm no AOC stan but I wouldn't say shes left wing Gavin McInnes because that would be Maxine Waters.

Rand Paul: Liberty is under threat!

Also Rand: Trump has every right to declare martial law if he wants to

Exactly.

Trump imo outted the true rightlibs from the posers. Rand fell in the latter camp.
